Agent2001
A workshop on:
Social Agents: Simulative and Substantive Research
CALL FOR PAPERS
Gleacher Center
The University of Chicago
October 18-20, 2001
Agent simulation is a computational approach to social research that models the preferences, circumstances, strategies, interaction, cognitive models and/or learning strategies of multiple decision-making agents. Modeling dynamic heterogeneous agents reflects an emerging methodological initiative within the social sciences. The goal of Agent2001 is to move beyond an emphasis upon methodological considerations in pursuit of a productive dialog with various substantive research areas in the social sciences.
We welcome papers in which: 1) agent simulation is used to address issues arising from substantive research programs or policy settings, 2) empirical data is brought to bear on issues framed by agent simulation results, and/or 3) simulations are theory-driven. Of particular interest are simulative explorations of evolution, adaptation or learning theories.
Tutorials on the use of agent simulation toolkits will be organized on Thursday, October 18th. Workshop papers will be presented on Friday, October 19th and Saturday, October 20th. Authors interested in making a presentation should submit a paper of 2500-4000 words to:
by August 1, 2001. Papers presented at the workshop will be published in a Proceedings. Format guidelines will be available at the workshop website at:
