This is sorta nifty: identifying the classics within modeling and
computational social sciences. The existing set is pretty interesting
in and of itself.

Any favorite papers you would like to see included?

Subject: [JASSS] Please help to select the 80 best SimSoc articles
and win a copy of the book

[Apologies if you have previously received a copy of this email]
Sage will be publishing a four volume set on Computational Social
Science in Spring 2010. This four volume set will reprint the key
articles in the emerging field of computational social science. It
will include:
* the hard-to-find classic papers that first signalled the potential
of the computational approach;
* a selection of influential examples of computational social
science from a wide range of social science disciplines, including
economics, sociology, geography, political science, social
psychology, anthropology and archaeology, and business and
management; and
* contributions on the methodology of computational social science,
including comparisons with other approaches.
Computational social science is here defined as the use of
computational models (so including all forms of simulation, but not,
for example, equation-based models).
The set will include approximately 80 articles. The great majority
will be either articles originally published in academic journals,
or as chapters from edited collections derived from conferences.
They will be divided into sections, each with a brief introduction.
You can help with selecting the 80 articles (no complete books or
lengthy reports). The articles proposed so far can be found in a
CiteULike group at:
http://www.citeulike.org/group/8686/library
You can add your suggestions, and comment on the items already
proposed. Everyone who contributes or comments has a chance of
winning a free copy of the four volume set (worth about £500, $1000,
€750). The winner will be selected at random before the date of
publication from those who have participated.
To suggest items or comment on those already suggested you may either:
Send me <[email protected]> an email with bibliographic details
or
(if you are already a member of CiteULike or are willing to register
(free)), you can join the Computational Social Science group and
then copy items from your personal library to the group.
I look forward to your suggestions!
Nigel
