Advancing
Multi-Agent Modeling of Human Complex Systems
The second
Lake Arrowhead Conference will focus on the modeling of human complex systems
using heterogeneous multi-agent computational simulations to understand social
phenomena involving complexity, emergence and multiple agency. This invitation
is going out world-wide, but we especially welcome scholars from the western
United States. One of our goals is to form a community of scholars and society
that will become part of the newly founded International Society for Computational
Social and Organizational Science directed by Kathleen
Carley.
We
provide an opportunity for sharing the most recent theoretical developments
and methodological advances in multi-agent modeling in the social sciences.
We are planning a mix of plenary and concurrent sessions. Subjects will include
computational modeling issues, discipline-based research, and special topics
yet to be proposed. We invite you to submit a proposal for an individual paper
or a session. This year we have a capacity of only
125 persons. A maximum of two co-authors for each paper will be permitted
to attend and will receive priority over those who would rather not present
a paper. Those who wish to bring their partners must contact Gena
Yoon before November 15. We will do our best to accommodate your requests.

The
first Lake Arrowhead Conference on Computational Social Science sponsored
by the UCLA Center for Human Complex Systems was a huge success! This
will be an annual event, and we are now preparing for the second conference.
We have extended the conference by one day and decreased the cost of accommodations
per night.
We hope to see you there!
