THE
FIRST LAKE ARROWHEAD CONFERENCE on
COMPUTATIONAL SOCIAL SCIENCE
and SOCIAL COMPLEXITY
Thursday, May 9th through Sunday, May 12th,
2002.
The
UCLA Conference Center is located at Lake Arrowhead, a Southern California
facility situated at the 5000 elevation in the Beautiful San Bernardino mountains.
It is about a two-hour drive from the Los Angeles International Airport. Map

An
opportunity to advance agent modeling in the social sciences.
We
invite social scientists who employ computational ideas and methods in their
research and teaching to join us for the first annual Lake Arrowhead Conference
on agent modeling.
The
conference will serve as a forum for sharing the most recent theoretical applications
and methodological advances on agent modeling throughout the social sciences
(e.g., Anthropology, Communication Studies, Economics, Geography, History,
Political Science, Sociology, Urban Planning) and among social scientists
in professional schools (e.g., Business, Education, International Relations,
Public Health, Public Policy, Social Welfare) and in the public and private
sectors.
We
are planning for a mix of plenary sessions as well as concurrent sessions
on computational modeling issues, discipline-based research, and special topics
to be proposed. We invite individual paper submissions and proposals for sessions
(90 minutes each). We also invite those who do not wish to present a paper
to attend and will do our best to accommodate their requests. Please submit
your requests early.

INVITE THE FOLLOWING PAPER & SESSION TOPICS
-
