> “Representing social reality” is a very broad theme, and ESSA 2005 is
> open to all applications of simulation to social science; so all
> submissions under the main theme will be welcome — the discussion
> should be about social reality represented in models, not just about
> representing at large, and results are more welcome than just
> approaches. Anyway, we want to invite submissions particularly from the
> following fields:
>
> · Involving users: participatory methods
>
> · Microanalytical simulation models: supporting social policy
>
> · Modelling culture, norms and reputation
>
> · Replication and verification
>
> · Agent-based models: supporting sociological theory building
>
> · Qualitative and non-numerical approaches to simulation
>
> · Physics based approaches to economics and social science
>
>
> Tutorials
>
> Applications to run tutorials will be welcome.

> directly with their preferred hotels. Reasonable prices are between 40
> and 60 € per night.

> September 5 (Monday): arrival of those participants who want to join
> tutorials

> dinner can be organised on a river boat)
>
> September 7 (Wednesday): conference starts with a plenary session,
> lunch, parallel sessions; evening free to visit wineries or breweries.
>
> September 8 (Thursday): conference continues with plenary and parallel
> sessions;

>
> If you want to spend the weekend before or after the conference in the
