Best G. ******************************************* ****** Call for Papers ****** ******************************************* 7th International Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems and Simulation (MAS&S) 2013 http://plasma.deis.unical.it/workshops/mass2013/ jointly held with MATES 2013 Koblenz, Germany September 16-20, 2013 Multi-agent systems (MASs) provide powerful models for representing both real-world systems and applications with an appropriate degree of complexity and dynamics. Several research and industrial experiences have already shown that the use of MASs offers advantages in a wide range of application domains (e.g. financial, economic, social, logistic, chemical, engineering). When MASs represent software applications to be effectively delivered, they need to be validated and evaluated before their deployment and execution, thus methodologies that support validation and evaluation through simulation of the MAS under development are highly required. In other emerging areas (e.g. ACE, ACF), MASs are designed for representing systems at different levels of complexity through the use of autonomous, goal-driven and interacting entities organized into societies which exhibit emergent properties The agent-based model of a system can then be executed to simulate the behavior of the complete system so that knowledge of the behaviors of the entities (micro-level) produce an understanding of the overall outcome at the system-level (macro-level). In both cases (MASs as software applications and MASs as models for the analysis of complex systems), simulation plays a crucial role that needs to be further investigated. MAS&S 2013 aims at providing a forum for discussing recent advances in Engineering Complex Systems by exploiting Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation. In particular, the areas of interest are the following (although this list should not be considered as exclusive): Agent-based simulation techniques and methodologies Discrete-event simulation of Multi-Agent Systems Simulation as validation tool for the development process of MAS Agent-oriented methodologies incorporating simulation tools MAS simulation driven by formal models MAS simulation toolkits and frameworks Testing vs. simulation of MAS Industrial case studies based on MAS and simulation/testing Agent-based Modeling and Simulation (ABMS) Agent Computational Economics (ACE) Agent Computational Finance (ACF) Agent-based simulation of networked systems Scalability in agent-based simulation Important dates --------------------- Full paper submission: May 15, 2013 Notification of acceptance: Jun 7, 2013 Final (camera ready) paper due: Jun 28, 2013 Workshop: Sept 16-17, 2013 Steering Commitee -------------------------- Massimo Cossentino, ICAR-CNR, Italy Giancarlo Fortino, Università della Calabria, Italy Marie-Pierre Gleizes, Université Paul Sabatier, IRIT, France Juan Pavon, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain Wilma Russo, Università della Calabria, Italy Workshop Chair ----------------------- Giancarlo Fortino, University of Calabria Program Committee --------------------------- Jean-Paul Arcangeli, Université Paul Sabatier, France Carole Bernon, Université Paul Sabatier, IRIT, France Juan Antonio Botía Blaya, Universidad de Murcia, Spain Krzysztof Cetnarowicz, AGH - University of Science and Technology of Krakow, Poland Irenieusz Czarnowski, Gdynia Maritime University, Poland Paul Davidson, Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden Stefano Galzarano, Università della Calabria, Italy Alfredo Garro, Università della Calabria, Italy Paolo Giorgini, Università di Trento, Italy Jorge J.

Over-length submissions will be rejected without review. Submissions are expected to report on new research that makes a substantial technical contribution to the field. In particular, submitted research must be unpublished and not under review in any other conference or journal (submissions that violate this requirement will be regarded as self-plagiarism). Submission of papers is handled via ConfTool following this link: https://www.conftool.pro/informatik2013/index.php?page=newPaper&form_contributiontypeID=13&newpaper=true The MAS&S proceedings will be published in the MATES 2013 proceedings that will be published by Springer as a volume of the LNAI (Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence) series. Special Issue ------------------ We plan to organize a special issue in a premiere International Journal.
