DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170719
LOCATION:Bochum, Germany
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the last two decades philos
 ophical discussions on scientific inquiry have inc
 reasingly utilized formal models. To this end a va
 riety of formal models have been developed, starti
 ng from analytical ones to agent-based models that
  provide computer simulations of scientific inquir
 y. The aim of this conference is to bring together
  scholars working on different approaches to the f
 ormal modeling of scientific inquiry to discuss bo
 th different types of formal models and the prospe
 cts and limits of their usefulness for philosophy 
 of science, social epistemology and science policy
 .  Keynote speakers: Gregor Betz (Karlsruhe Instit
 ute of Technology), Leah Henderson (University of 
 Groningen) and Jason McKenzie Alexander (London Sc
 hool of Economics).  We invite contributions on th
 ese and related issues. Authors are invited to sub
 mit an extended abstract (500-1000 words) related 
 to the above questions. An application for a speci
 al issue with the conference post-proceedings will
  be submitted to an internationally recognized jou
 rnal.
