Hi Pascal,
Interesting!
You may like to forward this to others.
Cheers, Nazmun
>I am organizing a special series of conference sessions on computational,
>experimental, and mathematical approaches to the study of religion. The
>sessions would occur at the joint annual meetings of the Society for the
>Scientific Study of Religion and Association for the Study of Religion,
>Economics, and Culture -- October 19 - 21, 2006 in Portland, Oregon. Please
>let me know if you'd like to participate as a presenter, discussant, or
>session convener.
>I hope to assemble at least one session on agent-based models, a second on
>experimental methods, and perhaps a third on other methods. I also plan to
>organize a panel focusing on William Bainbridge's recently-published book,
>God from the Machine, which develops a theory of religion based on
>agent-based models and and neural-net simulations. I am also seeking grant
>support to help fund the publication of an edited volume and provide modest
>honoraria for the session participants.
>
>The ASREC-SSSR conference provides an ideal forum for sharing new ideas and
>meeting first-rate scholars interested in social-scientific study of
>religion. Although SSSR began as "club" for sociologists and psychologists,
>ASREC has helped to broaden the meetings to include scores of outstanding
>economists, political scientists, anthropologists, and others. The Portland
>meetings will include more than 100 sessions and 500 participants. It's
>time that we made simulation and experimental methods a regular part of the
>conference ... and the field.

>For more information, see the ASREC call for papers, at www.ASREC.org, or
