Venue: Bishops Lodge
October 9-12, 2011
KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Uri Wilensky – Northwestern University
Over the past decade simulating social processes has become increasingly important in the social and life sciences.

Casual dress please. The CSSSA conference wants to foster networking with other scientists. Monday and Tuesday will have an ~ 2 hour mid-day break for self-organized hikes, art tours in Santa Fe, horseback riding, etc. For those interested outdoor activities please bring comfortable hiking clothes and footwear, and rain jacket. Fall weather in Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico can be quite cold at this high-altitude.
