The World Congress on Social Simulation is a bi-annual conference on computational social science. It is jointly organized by the European Social Simulation Association (ESSA), the Pacific Asian Association for Agent-based Approach in Social Systems Sciences( PAAA) and the Computational Social Science Society of America (CSSSA), and rotates among Europe, Asia and the Americas. This year, the fourth World Congress is being held in Taipei on September 4-7. Please see the conference website.

At the forthcoming World Congress, a Special Session on 'The Mathematical Foundations of Computational Social Science is being planned'. We welcome contributions from members of the Mathematical Sociology section of the ASA. Those interested in contributing a paper on this topic should choose the name of this special session in "Topics" at the EasyChair submission page. If you would like more information or would like to suggest possible topics, please contact David Sallach.
