Synthetic population is of great importance when individual based simulation system try to investigate real case study where demographic attribute, localization and link between entities have an important impact on the dynamic of the model. In this context, to generate realistic agent population is a challenge: you must integrate a wide variety of data, most of which are not harmonized or standardized, to be able to create a realistic population with attributes that are key variables in your model. If we want social simulation to be able to represent complex social systems, we are in need of accessible, reusable and generic tools to endorse synthetic population generation. We propose a space to share ideas on principles and practices of synthetic population generation. We are pleased to invite you to submit your proposal to the Synthetic Population for Social Simulation (SP2S) special track to be held during Social Simulations Conference 2019.
