• Computational Memetics

CFP for a Special Issue on Computational Memetics

Example topics include:

• simulation models of information evolution and transmission
• computational culture
• computational anthropology
• formal models of memetics
• computational social learning theory
• computational approaches to the evolution of language
• gene/culture co-evolution simulation
• computer models of cognitive ecology
• models of memetic activity on the internet

Although all papers on the above topics will be considered, particular attention will be paid to submissions which:

1. lay out a formal model of the phenomena in question, and
2. support the model with computer-based simulation or other computational methods.

Submissions are due by 15 September 2000. It is anticipated that the special issue will be released before the end of the year. All submissions should comport to the format and style requirement outlined at:

Submissions, and queries, are to be directed to the special issue editors:
