Multi-Agents for modelling Complex Systems (MA4CS)
October 5th or 6th, 2007
http://www710.univ-lyon1.fr/hassas/MA4CS07/
Satellite conference of the
European Conference on Complex Systems 2007 (ECCS'07)
Dresden, Germany , October 1-6, 2007
Paper submission DEADLINE: June 30th, 2007
Goals and Topics
The aim of this workshop is to provide a focal forum for active
researchers, practitioners, developpers involved in modelling complex
systems using the multi-agents paradigm, from different disciplines
(biology, economy, sociology, urbanism, cognitive science, computer
science, etc). The idea behind this meeting is to cross-fertilize and
foster research activities of these different domains. One first step
to achieve with this workshop is to come up with hot issues raised in
different disciplines for which multi-agents based modelling brings
an interesting direction to face complexity. This first step is aimed
to enhance multi-disciplinary cooperative research using multi-agents
modelling. In particular, this workshop is aimed to address the
following non-exhaustive list of issues:
· Which answers are provided so far by the multi-agents paradigm
in terms of theories, models, programming or simulation tools, to the
problems raised by complex systems in different disciplines;
· Which specific questions from the complex systems perspective,
would like a specific domain (biology, cognitive sciences, computer
science, economy, etc.) ask to the multi-agents community and which
answers, inspirations could these disciplines bring to the multi-
agents modelling and multi-agents based engineering?
· Which general questions raised by complex systems, would one
submit to the multi-agents research?
· Multi-agents systems engineering from the perspective of
complex systems raises important issues like convergence, emergence,
self-organization, autonomy versus control, scalability, etc? How
could complex systems theories help to address these issues?
· Etc ,
In the context of this workshop, four thematic areas are of
particular interests: Biology, Cognition, Socio-Economy, Information
Technology and Computing. A technical track is associated to each
thematic area. Multi-agents systems are considered from the
perspective of their potential to model complex systems in each of
the specified disciplines as well as from the perspective of the
inspirations they could take from theses different domains, as a
modelling/computing paradigm for complex systems.
· Track 1 : Multi-Agents approaches for Biological Systems /
Biological inspirations for Multi-Agents Systems
Chairs: Guillaume Beslon (LIRIS, INSA-Lyon, France),Vincent Chevrier
(LORIA, Univ. Nancy1, France)
· Track 2 : Multi-Agents approaches for Cognition / Cognition
in Multi-Agents Sytems
Chairs:
Catherine Garbay ( LIG - Institut IMAG, France), Luis Rocha
(Complex Systems Group, Indiana University, USA)
· Track 3: Multi-Agents approaches for Socio-Economical
Systems / Socio-Economical Systems inspirations for MAS
Chairs: F. Amblard ( SMAC, Université Toulouse III, France), Denise
Pumain (Laboratoire Géographie-cités, Univ.Paris 1, France)
· Track 4 : Multi-Agents Sytems from the perspective of Complex
Systems for Computation
Chairs: Alessandro Ricci (DEIS, Università di Bologna, Italy),
Salima Hassas (LIESP, Université Claude Bernard-Lyon1)
Each track is focused on both specific and more general questions
raising from their associated disciplines for which the multi-agents
modelling could bring an answer or raise new research issues in terms
of theories, models, programming or simulation tools, from the
complex system perspective.
Important Dates
· Paper submission deadline: June 30th, 2007
· Notification of acceptance: July 20th, 2007
· Late breaking papers: July 30th, 2007
· Registration to the sattelite conference : July 31th, 2007
· Camera Ready August 31st, 2007

Submission
Submitted papers should not exceed 20 pages in the Springer-Verlag
LNCS style, either in PostScript or PDF format. For those submitting
papers in PDF format, please ensure that papers can be viewed by a
standard reader. Thus we discourage the use of special character sets.
A late breaking papers session is organized after the notification of
regular submissions, to offer the opportunity for submission of short
contributions on ongoing work or prospective research work which
content could raise interesting issues to discuss during the day of
the conference
