Fourth Joint Japan-North America Mathematical Sociology Conference

Announcement and Call for Papers

Description

The Joint Japan-North America Mathematical Sociology Conference is an international gathering of scientists working at the forefront of mathematical, computational, and quantitative modeling of social systems. Research from all areas of mathematical sociology is welcomed; topics represented in past conferences include:

• Agent-based models
• Cellular automata
• Demographic models
• Evolutionary dynamics
• Formal models of culture and the emergence of norms
• Game theory, behavioral game theory, and models of decision making
• Group processes
• Inferential models for systems with complex dependence structure
• Learning and optimization models
• Models of epidemiology, diffusion, and influence
• Organizational processes and behavior
• Residential settlement, migration, and segregation
• Responses to and/or impacts of disasters or global climate change
• Social network analysis
• Stochastic process models
• Stratification and inequality

As in past years, selected papers will be invited for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Mathematical Sociology.
