Conference on Complex Systems, 30th September - 4th
October 2019, Singapore
Satellite Symposium
New methods and epistemologies to explore
simulation models - II
Call for Papers
Scope
This satellite session focuses on methods to explore,
validate and calibrate simulation models, and on
epistemological evolutions going along with these new
practices. It aims at extending the discussions introduced
at CCS2018 in the previous satellite on the exploration of
simulation models. This previous session presented the
OpenMOLE platform and interrogated the use of high
performance computing together with optimization
heuristics such as evolutionary computation for the
calibration and validation of simulation models. This
second session will ask similar questions but (i) aiming
at a higher disciplinarity, possibly including disciplines
in which simulation is not a mainstream practice either
because of the difficulty to quantify such as in
archeology, or because of a stronger confidence given to
other methods such as analytical resolution in economics;
(ii) aiming at a higher epistemological component in the
discussion, to reflexively investigate how simulation and
high performance computing can transform a discipline and
what are the conditions for acceptably validating
knowledge in that context.
Call for Papers
Contributions are open to any research developing new
methods, practices, theories and epistemologies related to
models of simulation. No discipline is privileged as the
debates are aimed at being interdisciplinary.
Methodological contributions are as much welcomed as
contributions in epistemology or history of science.
