SSC2020 is the 16th annual Social Simulation Conference and will take place at the University of Milan, Italy on 14-18 September 2020. The conference is one of the key activities of the European Social Simulation Association (ESSA) to promote social simulation and computational social science in Europe and elsewhere, and is now the most important event in this field worldwide.
SSC2020 welcomes submissions that include innovative and previously unpublished research in the following format:
Extended Abstracts (3-4 pages; they compete for short presentations during parallel sections) Full Papers (max. 12 pages; they compete for long oral presentations either in plenary or parallel sections) Poster abstracts (300 to 500 words; they compete for specific poster slots) Panel and roundtables (up to 300 words + at least three confirmed participants + the chair) Monday 14 September Workshops/Tutorials (up to 300 words with title, aims, intended audience and the trainer)
All submissions have to be formatted using the LNCS templates, which can be found here: http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines. Submissions must be submitted through EasyChair at the following link: !!link to be added soon!!
During the submission process, authors will be given the chance to indicate whether they intend to submit to: a specific thematic track session or to ESSA@work (short/full papers in special sessions that discuss work-in-progress, hands-on challenges and problems). All accepted short/full papers will be included in the post-proceedings (contacts in place with Springer). Authors of the best papers will be invited to submit to the Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation.
Important dates The deadline for submissions is on 3 May 2020. Notifications of acceptance on 31 May 2020.
List of Conference Topics The conference topics include, but are not limited to, the following list. Unlisted but related topics are also acceptable, provided that they fit in the domain of social simulation.
