Co-Chair: Ted Carmichael
The humanities are a collection of academic disciplines that all deal
with the study of the human condition. It traditionally
includes such disciplines and pursuits as languages, philosophy,
history, art, music, literature and so on. Increasingly,
modeling and simulation as a research and/or analysis technique is
being used within these disciplines, in very effective ways.
The
2013 Modeling and
the Humanities workshop at the Spring Simulation
Multi-Conference is actively seeking papers that have to do with (1)
techniques that are appropriate to Modeling for disciplines
traditionally thought of as part of the humanities, and (2) specific
project and applications where Modeling (and simulation) are used
within projects of research or analysis for the Humanities, (3)
recommendations and observations as to how best Modeling can serve the
Humanities, (4) introduction and tutorial presentations on software
packages particularly suited for Modeling and the Humanities.
In addition to the paper topics listed above, we are also interested in
proposals for panels and guest presentations.
Program Topics
- Modeling techniques appropriate for Humanities studies
- Modeling for History
- Modeling for Language Studies
- Modeling for Philosophy

- Modeling for Music Studies
- Modeling for Literary Studies
- Modeling for Ethics Studies
- Modeling for Societal Studies
- Modeling for Political Science

Please note: General papers on these techniques (and any others) would
only be welcome in this workshop if they have some demonstrated
applicability to Humanities and related studies.
