Modeling and Simulation of Social-Behavioral Phenomena in Creative Societies (MSBC-2019)
International EURO Mini Conference
September 18-20, 2019
Vilnius, Lithuania
In the multidisciplinary MSBC-2019 conference, we invite to participate researchersand practitioners from computational science, social science, operations research, artificial intelligence, humanities, and other research areas. The conference MSBC–2019 aims to create an open panel for active dialogue among researchers and practitioners in four sections - theories and concepts, methods, modelling and simulation, and real-life applications. Participants are also welcome to submit to some more specialized invited sessions like ‘Globalization and Sustainability: the Theoretical and Methodological Approach', ‘AI and Agent-based Simulation of Social Phenomena', ‘Social Capital and Social Networks: Conceptual Framework and Research Methodologies', 'Application of Econophysics in Economics and Social Sciences', 'Social Impact of Medicine and Public Health', and 'Emotion Modeling and Computer Recognition'.

 Social policy modeling and decision support systems
 Social cohesion modeling and metrics
 Concepts and models of the social capital
 Cultural Behavioral Modeling
 Theories, concepts and models of creative societies and economies
 Globalization, society polarization, and cultural identity issues
 Operations research methodologies for societal complexity of cultural processes
 Behavioral operations research
 OR and Ethics understanding dynamics of cultural processes
 Culture and sustainability: the theoretical and methodological approach
 Agent-based social simulation systems
 Multi-agent systems and agent societies
 Computational intelligence applications in social sciences
 Other topics of modeling and simulation in social sciences
Submitted short papers (up to 8 pages) will be published in Springer Conference Proceedings. Selected full papers (up to 25 pages) will be submitted for publication in the top-rated journals: Central European Journal of Operational Research, EURO Journal on Decision Processes, and Creativity Studies.
