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

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 ( IRIT, Université
Toulouse I Sciences Sociales, 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.
