Papers and Symposia
While our core constituency will be philosophers, historians, and sociologists of science, we especially encourage submissions from practicing scientists and engineers. Interdisciplinarity both as regards topics and authors is particularly encouraged when developing symposium proposals.
Possible topics related to modeling and simulation include:
– The epistemic tools of modeling and simulation
– The epistemic and practical strategies of modeling
– The use of models in designing and applying technologies
– Scientific representations and scientific fictions
– The role of models and simulations for explanation/understanding
– Model-based reasoning
– Prediction, evidence and confirmation
– Models and simulations as interdisciplinary objects and practices
– Experimental and heuristic use of models
– The ethical, economical, and social aspects of models and simulations.
We will also arrange special symposia dedicated to problems of models and simulation in engineering, chemistry, and particle physics.
Details on registration and accommodation with be made available in the fall.
The submission deadline has passed.
