ESSA 2013 - ESSA 2013 : 9th European Social Simulation Association Conference

ESSA2013 offers three different types to submit a contribution:
Full paper ? in the length of 10 to 12 pages, which should be comprehensive and consists of detailed presentation of theory, methodology and simulation results
Extended abstract ? in the length of 3 to 4 pages, which presents the current topic in progress with enough detail to ensure proper evaluation
Poster ? should present the current work in progress
Contributions can be submitted to general session or the following special tracks:
Adaptive behavior, social interactions and global environmental change: an agent-based perspective (chairs: T. Filatova, G. Polhill, R. van Duinen)
Applications of computational social science in conflict and sensitive contexts (chair: A. Geller)
Business applications of computational social science (chair: M. Łatek)
Heterogeneity and interaction in macroeconomic modeling (chair: G. Koloch)
Social simulation of science processes (chair: F. Squazzoni)
Statistical analysis of simulation models (chair: B. Kamiński)
Using qualitative rules to inform behavioral rules (chair: B. Edmonds)
Detailed descriptions of special tracks will be available soon.
