Call for Tracks & Workshops
Special Tracks will be held in parallel during the conference. A special track consists of a group of papers in a sub-area of the larger domain of social simulation and computational social science. All papers will go through a reviewing process on EasyChair and will be assigned to special tracks if there is a match. A successful special track will consist of at least 2-3 extended abstracts and/or full papers.
The deadline for special tracks has closed on January 28th 2025. Please refer to the Conference Program for an overview of special tracks.
Workshops will be held on the workshop day and offer a broad perspective on social simulation employing a “hands-on” approach. The topic of the workshop can be: a) disciplinary (thematic, e.g. sustainability, or methodological, e.g. introduction to Repast); b) career development (e.g. how to succeed in publishing in the social simulation domain); or else (please explain and justify).
The deadline for workshops has closed on January 28th 2025. Please refer to the Conference Program for an overview of workshops.
Other formats, such as roundtables or specific interactive formats, are accepted in exceptional cases.
