The New Roles of Systems Sciences
The First International Congress of the International Federation of Systems Research

Welcome to Symposium 2
"Creation of Agent-based Social Systems Sciences"
Aims and Scope
Symposium 2 aims at discussing and cultivating "agent-based social systems science (ABSSS)", a new trans-disciplinary research area. ABSSS is emerging to tackle economic, organizational, and social problems in terms of collective decision making by a large collection of autonomous and heterogeneous agents. Though agent-based simulation is a critical tool for the field, ABSSS covers much broader spectrum of system sciences. It includes: social systems theory, sociology, business administration, management information science, organization science, computational mathematical organization theory, economics, evolutionary economics, international political science, jurisprudence, policy science, socio-information studies, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, complex adaptive systems theory, and philosophy of sciences.
