Subject: Tr: Computational Social and Organizational Science Conference
From: François Bousquet (bousquet@cirad.fr)
Date: mar mar 14 2000 - 08:59:23 CET
>Announcing the Computational Social and Organizational Science Conference
>
>CALL FOR PAPERS
>
>DATES: July 21-24
>Location: CMU - Pittsburgh, PA
>
>This meeting is the 10th meeting of the Annual Workshop on Computational
and
>Mathematical Organization Theory.
>
>The purpose of this conference is to explore advances in computational
>social and organizational science. Of interest is recent work in any
>of the following areas:
>1) computational theorizing about
>complex socio-cognitive-technical systems, including organizations,
>societies, and technology enhanced environments
>2) new computational or network based
>analysis tools for studying socio-cognitive-technological systems,
>social-psychological, social, organizational, and technological systems
>3) empirical tests of computational, mathematical, or logical models
>
>Presentations will be from a combination of invited and submitted
>papers. Participants need not present a paper. Individuals
>interested in presenting a paper must submit an extended abstract.
>A special issue of the journal Computational and Mathematical
>Organization Theory will be published based on the best papers
>in this workshop.
>
>In addition to standard sessions, there will be sessions in the computer
>lab for participants who want to demo specific computational techniques,
>software, or analysis routines.
>
>Topic areas for 2000 include:
>Emotional agents as organizational or social agents
>Emotions and multi-agent systems
>Formal models of knowledge networks
>Computational models of the evolution of social networks
>Computational modeling of social/organizational systems using
> cognitively realistic agents
>Artificial Life Systems
>Adaptive and emergent systems
>Organizational adaptation and learning
>Canonical task models and metrics for comparing tasks
>Multi-agent social and organizational systems
>Computational models of the impact of IT on social, cognitive, and
> organizational systems
>Computational models of trust and cooperation
>Computational models of transactive memory systems
>Complexity theory and computational models
>Modeling the evolution of inter-organizational networks
>Computational models of technology and IT enabled organizations
>Docking of computational models
>Validation of computational social and organizational science models
>Computational policy analysis
>
>This conference is not tied to a particular discipline and papers are
>welcome from all areas dealing with social, cognitive, technological,
>organizational, issues. Hence papers in the realms of Computational
>Sociology, Computational Economics, Computational Social-Psychology,
>Communication, Computational Political Science, Computational Organization
>Theory, etc. are invited.
>
>Abstracts and papers.
>If you are interested in presenting a paper you should
>send a title and an extended abstract of 3
>pages, by April 15 to Kathleen M. Carley - kcarley@ece.cmu.edu.
>Accepted abstracts will appear in the conference
>proceedings and published on the CASOS web pages.
>All presenters are encouraged to send full papers for consideration in
>the CMOTjournal to Kathleen Carley by July 1, 2000.
>
>Guidelines for abstracts:
>All abstracts must contain a title, the name, affiliation, and email of
>all authors.
>Abstracts should be a minimum of 1.5 pages and a maximum of 3 pages,
>single spaces, Times 12 point font.
>Abstracts must be sent as either an ascii only file, a MS Word RTF file,
>an enclosure with an MS Word file. or a PDF file.
>Abstracts may include figures.
>Abstracts should include references to relevant material.
>Make sure that the file is directly readable on a
>Macintosh.
>All abstracts will be read into an MS Word 98 document
>on the Macintosh.
>
>Conference attendance is not limited to presenters.
