> An important trend, which is the topic of AAMAS 2002, is the research on
> interactions
> between people and agent based methodology. The MABS 2002 workshop will
> focus on
> these aspects of interactions between societies of artificial agents and
> human societies.
> The aim is still to develop stronger links between those working in social
> sciences and
> those involved with multi-agent simulations. On the one hand, the first
> human societies
> MABS is confronted with are the scientific communities. Many important
> conferences in
> various disciplines such as geography, economics, ecology, sociology, and
> physics have
> hosted workshops on MABS-related topics and many respected journals publish
> papers
> that includes elements of MABS.
>
> Although MABS is gradually acquiring legitimacy in many disciplinary fields,
> much has to be
> done to clarify the potential use of MABS in these disciplines. Researchers
> from these
> disciplines have different points of view on issues such as time-frame,
> space, geographical
> scales, organizational levels, etc... On the other hand, the interest for
> MABS goes beyond
> the scientific communities. Several MABS models has been developed and used
> interactively with other societies. For instance, research is being done on
> the interactions
> between societies of robots and groups of people, and simulations models are
> developed
> with stake holders for environmental issues in a participative way, through
> the Internet or
> directly on the field. These new approaches lead to new questions on the use
> of MABS for
> collective decision making, but also on the conceptual and technical aspects
> of MABS.
>
> Within this framework of interactions between artificial and human
> societies, special
> attention will be given to the conceptual and technical aspects (agent
> architecture,
> interaction protocols, simulation platforms, modelling protocols, time and
> space
> representation, presentation of simulation results) resulting from these
> interactions and
> favouring them. Papers describing applications with examples of such
> interactions between
> MABS and society will be welcommed as well as conceptual and epistemological
> thoughts
> on the use of MABS as a collective representation.
