Behavioural Economics Meets object oriented Simulation Special Interest Group (BEMooSSIG)

BEMooSSIG (formerly known as GTMooSSIG) is a local discussion forum at the University of Nottingham for people interested in studying how to use games (lab experiments) as a data collection tool or as a mechanism to inform/support modelling the decision making of actors in object oriented social or socio-technical system simulation models and how the simulation results can be used to cross-validate game results.

If you have any questions/suggestions please get in touch with Peer-Olaf Siebers (pos@cs.nott.ac.uk).

Next BEMooSSIG Meeting

We are not meeting at a regular basis any more. Instead we decided to organise a conference track "The Interplay between Behavioural Game Theory and Agent-Based Social Simulation" at the International Conference on Modeling and Applied Simulation (MAS) which is part of the International Multidisciplinary Modeling & Simulation Multiconference (I3M). This will be a great opportunity for intensive discussions.
