This will be a workshop on the techniques of developing simulations to help with the exploration and understanding of social and economic issues. It will provide a rationale for using simulation in economics and the social sciences and outline a number of approaches to social simulation at a level of detail that would enable participants to understand the literature and, for some selected approaches, to develop their own simulations. The workshop covers the basics of modelling and simulation in economics and the social sciences from different points of view (mathematics, computer science, philosophy of science) and of seven different approaches to computer simulation in economics and the social sciences.
