This book covers the latest advances in applying agent-based modelling in social sciences. The Social Simulation Conference is the major global conference devoted to this topic. It is aimed at promoting social simulation and computational social science.

This year’s special theme is “Social Simulation—Crossroads Between Social Science and Computational Methods”, focused on modelling of social phenomena, computational aspects and the theory linking these two scientific fields.

The primary audience of this book are scholars and practitioners in computational social sciences including economics, business, sociology, politics, psychology and urban studies.
