DESCRIPTION:<p>The previous MS meetings have taken place in Paris\, Tilburg\, \nCharlottesville\, and Toronto. As before\, the overall theme of the \nconference will be the philosophical and methodological issues of \nsimulations and models\, broadly construed.</p>\n<p>Papers on any aspect of this theme are welcome from both philosophers \nand practicing scientists. One focus of the 5th meeting will be on \nmodels and simulations within and across the social sciences. Of course\,\n submissions of papers related to the natural sciences in particular and\n modeling and simulating in general are also welcome. Possible topics \ninclude the following: Models\, simulations\, and scientific \nrepresentation. Models\, simulations\, and scientific explanation. \nFictions vs. idealizations. The role of simplicity\, generality\, \nrobustness\, unifying power\, and other non-empirical epistemic virtues in\n modeling. Styles and conventions of modeling in different disciplines. \nTransfer of model templates and modelling methods across disciplinary \nboundaries. What kinds of inherent biases do model-based research \nheuristics involve? What standards should be used in assessing \nmodel-based expertise in policy applications? How to combine different \nsources of evidence within a model? How to render model-based evidence \ncommensurable with other evidence?<br> <br> <strong>Submission of abstracts</strong></p>\n<p>Abstracts of 100 words and extended abstracts of 800-1000 words.<br> <br> The deadline for submission is 5 February 2012<br> <br> Abstract submission is electronic.
