[alberto montebelli]

Dear EUCog community,

Don’t miss out! Here comes a gentle reminder about our Call for Papers for the workshop:

ALife in organisations: ALife methods in modeling and analyzing social and socio-technical  organizations - from small and medium-sized enterprises to communities  and whole economies.

This is a joint event with ALIFE 2024 - The International Conference on Artificial Life -- Copenhagen, Denmark (July 22-26, 2024).

The scope of the workshop includes, although it is not limited to, the following exemplary questions:

• Can the methods of Artificial Life (e.g. the simulation and analysis of relatively complex ecologies) contribute to better representing cognitive and affective aspects within social or socio-technical organizations, the individuals who constitute them, or the ones who use their services?

 • Can synergies between modeling techniques and machine-learning-enhanced analysis promote efficient and effective allocation and use of resources by complex organizations that operate in industry, management, public administration, public health, etc.?

 • Can modeling complex organizations in a globalized market identify the conditions for the emergence of dynamics such as competition, deception, reciprocity, collaboration, solidarity, diversity, etc., and evaluate their impact on the well-being of its symbiotic constitutive members and service users?

 • Can systems thinking support globally sustainable operations?

 • Can we test innovative organizational and economic models for a more balanced and ethically sound society?

For more information, please visit the workshop webpage. Should you have any questions or need further details, please don't hesitate to contact us (email to alberto.m...@gmail.com).
