MSBC 2019 - Modeling & Simulation of Social-Behavioral Phenomena in Creative Societies

The growing challenges of societal sustainability, social complexity, behavioral operations research, and cohesion are becoming more and more acknowledged worldwide. However, there is a conceptual and analytical gap in understanding the driving forces behind them. Thorough multidisciplinary research efforts are in demand for making important contributions, starting from concepts, models, and ending with recommendation and decision support systems capable to contribute to the effective global and Europe-wide cultural and social policy formation agendas.
Application of computational models to study issues in the social sciences is undergoing a rapid development during the last decades. The conference MSBC–2019 aims to create an open panel for an effective dialogue among researchers and practitioners, interested in the integration between computer science and social science, for strengthening the visibility, recognition, and understanding the problems of simulation and modelling in social sciences, and providing developmental opportunities for young European scientists and students as well.
Since the challenges such as migration, globalization, radicalization of society, uneven economic growth and welfare distribution, social cohesion, etc., are closely connected with different levels of culture impact, the conference is focussed, in particular, on modelling and simulation of concepts and models of modern culture and their impact on social capital and sustainability.
The conference is organised under the auspice of the European Association of Operational Research Societies (EURO) in the format of the EURO mini conference.
