Complexity in Indonesia?
 | Yes! Indonesia is a kind of nation to be absent in the evolution of sciences, especially social sciences. But Indonesia is still a place where human being interacts each other. |
They are human being and they are still to be, never to be neglected as a human being in the evolution of sciences. Indonesia, like other third world countries often to be the laboratory of social sciences that centered in the first and the second world countries.
It is often the classical sociological analysis that come from the perspective of the west unimplementable in the country. Henceforth, the social sciences shall be spatio-temporal in the birth of analysis.
By this period, we will use the approach to view the social system in Indonesia, the unique interacting people, the specific social system management, sustaninable developments, the community developments, in natural resources site like mining site, factories, industries including home industries, rural people, system of general elections, etc. We can give the whole sociological suggestions quantitatively as good as possiblem, as wide as possible. Social sciences certainly not a retheoric, but a sciences with tight methodology and perspectives.

CALL FOR PAPERS
JOURNAL OF SOCIAL COMPLEXITY Vol. 2 No. 1 THEME: INCOMPLETENESS AND SOCIAL ANALYSIS The advancement of computation technology has emerged so many important ideas on the improvement of social analysis. In sociological analysis, the complexity of the phenomena have been analyzed by many scientific papers and books by using artificial society approaches, agent-based model. At the same time, the analysis of social agent's cognition has also been enriched by many advancement of some streams in artificial intelligence and so many related cognitive scientists' discussions. However, these theoretical development have emerged a new challange on the question about validation and acceptance to the methodological concepts. It was begun from the realization of incompleteness around mathematical ideas, human understanding, and the logic itself. Some well-known theorems introduced by e.g. Kurt Godel, Alan Turing, remains us today question when so many researches are being conducted based on mathematics and computation. This is the main idea behind the special theme proposed: "Incompleteness and Social Analysis" to be elaborated in the next issue of the Journal of Social Complexity. You are encouraged and invited to submit your research papers, opinions, speculative thinkings, and book-review to the Editorial Board by August 12th 2004 00:00GMT. Your ideas on this are surely important to our further understanding about the employment of computation and mathematics in social analysis. |
