Computational Modeling and Artificial Intelligence for Social Systems – CMAISS

Web Address: Coming soon.
Organizer: Tanzhe Tang, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands, email
Description: The 3rd Workshop on Computational Modeling and Artificial Intelligence for Social Systems (CMAISS) will be held as part of ICCS 2027 in Krakow, Poland.
CMAISS aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on the development and application of computational methods for studying a wide range of social systems, including (but not limited to) cities, traffic, cooperation, collective decision-making, opinion dynamics, and social contagion. These systems are typically stochastic, complex, and often out of equilibrium, and therefore require innovative methodologies and interdisciplinary perspectives.
Computational modeling approaches (such as agent-based modeling, multi-agent simulation, and complex network modeling) have proven exceptionally powerful for this purpose, but also raise challenges such as validation, scalability, inference, calibration, and interpretability. Meanwhile, rapid advances in Artificial Intelligence, including machine learning and large language models (LLMs), have attracted growing attention from scholars seeking to employ AI techniques to study social systems, and to understand social systems in an era increasingly shaped by AI.
CMAISS particularly welcomes contributions that bridge computational modeling and AI, fostering interdisciplinary discussions among researchers in network science, game theory, agent-based modeling, machine learning, and large language models.
We welcome submissions on, but not limited to, the following topics:
  • Integration of AI in social system modeling
  • Social systems in the era of AI
  • Social simulation, multi-agent simulation or agent-based modeling applied to social systems
  • Using machine learning and large language models in social simulation methods
  • Complex network modeling and analysis
  • Modeling the evolution of cooperation in social systems
  • Modeling opinion dynamics and misinformation
  • Modeling collective decision making, aggregation and deliberation
