An interesting note from Kathleen Carley... Mike Michael North -----Original Message----- From: Kathleen Carley [mailto:kat...@cm...]=20 Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2003 1:09 PM To: North, Michael Subject: Invitation to Join NAACSOS As you may know, the first annual meeting of the North American Association for Computational Social and Organizational Science (NAACSOS) was held last month. Wide participation helped to make this event an overwhelming success. It is great to see that both the society and the conference are off to such a fine start. The objectives of NAACSOS are to encourage the advancement of theory and research based upon social simulation; to promote cooperation among those working in the field; to maintain and post a list of conferences, meetings and workshops relating to social simulation with the aim of reducing unnecessary conflicts; to coordinate the organization of a regular international conference; and to support the development and enhancement of educational programs in the field, and to publicize their availability. To pursue these objects NAACSOS integrates focused groups including a Computational Social Theory Section; a Simulation Applications Section; a Dynamic Network Analysis Section; and a Methods, Toolkits, and Techniques Section. NAACSOS membership is open to scholars, practitioners and students. I would like to strongly encourage you to join the NAACSOS society. Application is electronic and the form is at http://www.dis.anl.gov/naacsos/join_naacsos.html . More information on the society can be found at http://www.dis.anl.gov/naacsos . Joining NAACSOS gives you a strong voice in both the society and the conference. This is an emergent field and now is the time to help shape its future! Kathleen M. Carley |
