On the occasion of the formation of a Special Interest Group on Social Conflict and Social Simulation (SIG-SCSS) within the European Social Simulation Association (ESSA) we disseminate an open call for papers for presentation at the inaugural panel of the SIG-SCSS at the ESSA 2008 ESSA 2008 conference in Brescia, Italy. Papers aimed at reflecting on all aspects thematically relevant to social conflict and social simulation are welcome.

The deadline for submitting a full paper is 1 May 2008. Authors will receive a notification of acceptance by 1 June 2008. Papers are limited to 12 pages (including figures, tables and references) and should be written using the Springer lecture notes template . Papers should be submitted via the official ESSA 2008 conference website stating in parentheses in the paper’s title “SIG-SCSS”. Papers will be peer-reviewed. Once accepted for presentation, paper givers’ names will appear in the official ESSA 2008 program and their papers will be published in the ESSA 2008 proceedings.
