EPOS is a bi-annual cross-disciplinary workshop on simulation originally established by Ulrich Frank and Klaus G. Troitzsch, with a first edition held in Koblenz in July 2004. EPOS aims to provide a forum for scholars from various disciplines, such as the social sciences, computer sciences, engineering and natural sciences, who are interested in discussing epistemological aspects of computer simulation across disciplinary boundaries. The common belief behind the workshop is the recognition that the time has come to seriously reflect on epistemological and methodological preconditions, processes and consequences of simulation as a research tool. During the fist edition in Koblenz 2004, a number of interesting topics were ca- fully addressed: the link between theory and simulation models, the empirical volition of agent-based models in the natural and the social sciences, the relation between models and truth, as well as the role of stylized facts in evidence-based models. A good cross-disciplinary atmosphere permeated the workshop, making possible the exchange of knowledge and ideas beyond any disciplinary boundary. The first EPOS proceedings were edited by Ulrich Frank and Klaus G. Troitzsch and published in the Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation, Vol. 8, No. 4, 2005. 410 0$aLecture notes in computer science.$pLecture notes in artificial intelligence ;$v5466. 517 3 $aEPOS 2006 606 $aSocial sciences$xComputer simulation$vCongresses 606 $aSocial sciences$xData processing$vCongresses 606 $aSocial sciences$xMathematical models$vCongresses 615 0$aSocial sciences$xComputer simulation 615 0$aSocial sciences$xData processing 615 0$aSocial sciences$xMathematical models 676 $a621.395 686 $aCC 7750$2rvk 686 $aDAT 780f$2stub 686 $aSOZ 720f$2stub 686 $aSS 4800$2rvk 686 $a54.72$2bcl 701 $aSquazzoni$b Flaminio$0472158 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483244103321 996 $aEpistemological aspects of computer simulation in the social sciences$94191318 997 $aUNINA
