Sept in Santa Fe: CSSSA 2012 Call for Papers
Stephen Guerin
CSSSA 2012 – Annual Conference
September 18-21, 2012
Santa Fe, NM
Keynote Speaker: Paul Torrens, University of Maryland
Computational Social Science (CSS) is a scientific discipline where computational methods and simulation models of social dynamics offer new insights into social phenomena beyond what is available with traditional social science methods.
The CSSSA 2012 Conference will bring together international practitioners of CSS to present peer reviewed research via computational social science methods.
CALL FOR PAPERS
Submissions
Papers and posters concerning computational models of social phenomena are requested; models from all social science disciplines are welcomed, but to be accepted a submission must present an implemented, functioning computer model or simulation; submissions that do not present a functioning model will not be considered.
All submissions, including posters, will be subject to peer review.
Papers
Papers should be submitted in Springer’s “Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)” format. Papers should be no more than 12 pages, including bibliography and all figures. In addition to the paper itself, all models MUST be documented using the Overview, Design concepts, and Details protocol (see http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/13/4/9.html). This must be included as an attached addendum to the submitted paper (merge with the paper into one single document, with a blank page separating the paper and the ODD addendum.) The ODD documentation is not counted toward the page limit. SUBMISSIONS WITHOUT THE ODD ADDENDUM WILL NOT BE REVIEWED AND WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. (Note that although the ODD protocol is designed for agent-based models, submission is not limited to agent-based models: any functioning computational model can be submitted. However, the additional documentation is required of all models; for non-ABM models this should follow as much of the ODD protocol as is possible.)
Posters
• Posters presentations can be submitted for review.
• Poster submissions require only an abstract of < 800 words.
• Poster submissions must indicate clearly that they are being submitted only for a poster presentation.
The Program Committee and conference organizers may request that submissions for papers be converted into posters, or vice versa, depending on scheduling and content.
Publication Policy
Papers will be placed online in advance of the conference; attendees will be able to view and comment on them during and after the conference. In lieu of printed conference proceedings, papers will remain publicly available online in perpetuity after the conference. (Posters will not be archived.) Authors retain the copyright to their work, but participants will be asked to sign a document giving permission for their work to be made available online. This permission is a requirement for participation in theCSSSA 2012
conference. You are advised to consider this publication policy carefully when submitting papers pertaining to work that you may also wish to submit to other publication venues. If your paper is accepted, and you attend the conference, then your paper will be published on the CSSSA website (no exceptions).
Presenters are strongly encouraged to archive their models in the model repository at OpenABM (http://www.openabm.org/) to advance the field of Computational Social Science.
Submission System
To submit a paper or a poster abstract, please visit: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csssa2012
Note: If you will be unable to arrive for the Wednesday AM sessions, please note this when you submit your paper or poster; while we can make no guarantees, if your paper is accepted the conference organizers will attempt to accommodate you by placing your presentation later in the conference schedule.
