SUMMARY:VaNiM 2012: Values and Norms in Modeling, 
 Eindhoven, The netherlands
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120625
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120627
LOCATION:Eindhoven, The netherlands
DESCRIPTION:It is widely acknowledged that a large
  variety of values and norms (including epistemic,
  moral, and political values and norms) play an im
 portant role in modeling. Although the literature 
 about value-free science is huge, the specific the
 me of values and norms exclusively focusing on mod
 eling has not yet received the attention it should
 . Models are often conceived of as being approxima
 te representations with epistemic or even non-epis
 temic purposes, which makes them subject to a plet
 hora of normative influences. This conference seek
 s to address these and related issues from a found
 ational as well as an applied perspective.   For m
 ore information, see here.   We invite papers addr
 essing these and related issues from a foundationa
 l as well as an applied perspective. We especially
  welcome contributions on non-epistemic values in 
 engineering modeling, climate modeling and modelin
 g in operations research. Abstracts can be sent un
 til January 10, 2012.
