MA4CS'06

This workshop aims to bring together researchers from MAS and Complex Systems domains, in order to cross-fertilize research held in both fields, and come up with theories, tools, formal or/and operational models and methodologies for MAS approaches dedicated to complex systems. Contributions that could help to better understand why multi-agents succeed in modelling complex systems where other paradigms or tools fail are particularly encouraged, as are contributions on viewing multi-agents as complex systems, and on the use of theories and advances in the complex systems field for multi-agents modelling. While the first edition focused on both MAS systems and simulations, this 2nd edition of MA4CS focuses on the important issue of control and/or governance of complex systems based on multi-agents modeling.
