This quantity is a post-conference ebook of the 4th international Congress on Social Simulation (WCSS), with contents chosen from one of the eighty papers initially offered on the convention. WCSS is a biennial occasion, together equipped by way of 3 clinical groups in computational social technological know-how, particularly, the Pacific-Asian organization for Agent-Based strategy in Social platforms Sciences (PAAA), the eu Social Simulation organization (ESSA), and the Computational Social technology Society of the Americas (CSSSA). it truly is, for this reason, presently the main well-liked convention within the sector of agent-based social simulation. The papers chosen for this quantity provide a holistic view of the present improvement of social simulation, indicating the instructions for destiny examine and growing a huge archival rfile and milestone within the historical past of computational social technological know-how. particularly, the papers incorporated the following hide colossal growth in man made monetary markets, macroeconomic forecasting, offer chain administration, financial institution networks, social networks, city making plans, social norms and crew formation, cross-cultural stories, political social gathering festival, vote casting habit, computational demography, computational anthropology, evolution of languages, public healthiness and epidemics, AIDS, defense and terrorism, methodological and epistemological concerns, empirical-based agent-based modeling, modeling of experimental social technological know-how, gaming simulation, cognitive brokers, and participatory simulation. additionally, pioneering reports in a few new examine components, akin to the theoretical foundations of social simulation and express social technology, are also incorporated within the volume.
