Dec 5, 2008 - Dec 5, 2008,
7 World Trade Center 250 Greenwich St, 40th FL New York, New York United States 10007

The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is partnering with The New York Academy of Sciences for the 2nd year to host a half-day symposium to evaluate progress in public health and human rights on the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

On December 10, 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the first international recognition that human rights are absolute and inclusive of all, and that they should concern the entire international community. This doctrine has served as the foundation of international human rights law, and it continues to inspire international human rights treaties and declarations, regional conventions, and national constitutions.

Sadly, the work of the Declaration is far from finished. Some of the world's most neglected populations suffer the worst human rights abrogations, as well as the added burdens of disease and malnutrition. Where human rights are ignored, health care tends to be unequal, inadequate, or nonexistent.

Please join us as we examine the progress we have made in the 60 years since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights—and as we look ahead to navigating the roadblocks, contradictions, and challenges to public health and human rights at home and abroad.

The purpose of our conference is to carry on the legacy of Herbert Simon, who broke down the conventional distinctions among economics, computer science and cognitive psychology, and initiated new interdisciplinary research field that we now refer to as computational information in economics. Since Year 2000, CIEF has prosperously become a world-wide forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange new ideas and latest progress in two promising research areas - Computational Information (CI) and Object-Based Modeling and Simulation (OBMS). With the fast growth of these two research approaches, in depth, CIEF has now accommodated not only object-oriented computational economics (OCE) but also studies in econometrics, experimental economics, behavioral economics, neuroeconomics, and econophysics. In width, CIEF has extended the areas of interest from intelligent computing in economics and finance to management and social sciences.
