Social Simulation as Transdisciplinary Research (SSasTR) is a special joint organized session (OS) organized by both the Transdisciplinary Federation of Science and Technology (TraFST) and the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers (SICE). In this OS, we aim at exploring social simulation from the viewpoint of transdisciplinary research and bringing researchers from diferent felds to discuss the same issue. For this purpose, SSasTR, in particular, focuses on both the ideas from computer science as a new technology to provide insights into social science communities and the ideas coming from social sciences as new metaphors to provide insights into computer science community. To promote SSasTR, the OS gathers mostly all well-known Japanese researchers, who have much contributed to encourage this interdisciplinary research area by addressing past, present and future issues on social simulation. We have 28 oral presentations in the OS, which widely cover the significant social simulation areas, which include game theory, market and finance, auction, social networks, social models (e.g., pedestrian and disaster models), agent architecture, and human-agent interaction design.
