ABModSim 2006

The notions of agents and multi-agent systems have been widely adopted for the modelling of complex systems in most various contexts, ranging from social sciences, to urban modelling and planning, biology, logistics and production, and many other more. However the concepts behind the term agent are often quite different, as well as the goals of the modelling and simulation activities. This leads to different approaches, methodologies and developed computational systems supporting simulation of the modeled realities.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together experiences related to agent based modelling and simulation in different contexts and thus to try to identify common goals and research issues, and to possibly define common methodologies and requirements for computational supports to agent based modelling and simulation.

• actual MAS-based simulation experiences
• agent-based modeling methodologies
• generic or domain specific MAS models for simulation
• methodologies for the analysis of MAS-based simulation results
• multi-agent models for emergent phenomena and self-organization
• platforms for agent-based modeling and simulation
• verification and validation of MAS-based simulations
