Proceedings of the 2019 International Conference of The Computational Social Science Society of the Americas

This book presents the latest research into CSS methods, uses, and results, as presented at the 2019 annual conference of the CSSSA.  This conference was held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, October 24 – 27, 2019, at the Drury Plaza Hotel.  What follows is a diverse representation of new results and approaches for using the tools of CSS and agent-based modeling (ABM) for exploring complex phenomena across many different domains. Readers will therefore not only have the results of these specific projects on which to build, but will also gain a greater appreciation for the broad scope of CSS, and have a wealth of case-study examples that can serve as meaningful exemplars for new research projects and activities. The Computational Social Science Society of the Americas (CSSSA) is a professional society that aims to advance the field of CSS in all its areas, from fundamental principles to real-world applications, by holding conferences and workshops, promoting standards of scientificexcellence in research and teaching, and publishing novel research findings.
