> CALL FOR PAPERS
>
> The Second International Workshop on
> Agent-based Approaches in Economic and Social Complex Systems (AESCS'02)
>
> August 16, 2002, University of Tsukuba, Tokyo, Japan
> http://www.atr.co.jp/his/~keiki/cfp/conf/AESCS.html
>
> 1. Aims and scope of the workshop
>
> There are many economic, organization and social problems which require
> collective information-processing with a large collection of autonomous
and
> heterogeneous agents. The second workshop on Agent-based Approaches in
> Economic and Social Complex Systems (AESCS) intends to increase the
> awareness of the members of the community concerning the following three
> basic issues:
>
> * (1) There is no centralized or global control among agents.
> * (2) There is no common communication among agents.
> * (3) There is an explicit or implicit global objective, and we are
> confronted with the inverse problem of how to configure the system to
> achieve that objective.
>
> The fundamental objective of AESCS'02 is to foster the formation of an
> active multi-disciplinary community on multiagent, computational
economics,
> organizational science, social dynamics, and complex systems.
>
> The aim of AESCS is also to bring together researchers and practitioners
> from diverse fields, such as computer science, economics, physics,
> sociology, psychology, and complex theory for understanding emergent and
> collective phenomena in economic, organization, and social systems, and to
> discuss on effectiveness and limitations of computational models and
methods
> in social sciences. Furthermore, AESCS focuses on an importance of
> cumulative progress of agent-based simulation through a discussion of (1)
> common tasks, (2) standard computational models (including libraries), (3)
> replicating issue, and (4) evaluation and verification criteria for
results
> and papers (e.g. benchmark).
>
> Finally, we are planing to invite Robert Axtell as an invited speaker,
> followed by Michael Cohen and Kathleen Carley as invited speakers in the
> last year. Robert Axtell is well known researcher as one of authors of
> "Growing Artificial Societies".
>
> 2. Topics
>
> The technical issues to be addressed include, but not limited to:
>
> * Formal Theories on Agent-based Approaches
> o agent-based computational foundations
> o theories on rationality, intention, emotion, social action,
social
> interaction
> o heterogeneity and diversity of agents
> * Computational Economics and Organization
> o agent-based economics
> o market-based computing
> o artificial markets
> o agents in financial engineering
> o econophysics
> o computational organization theory
> * Formal Theories of Social Dynamics
> o methodologies of modeling social behaviors
> o chaotic and fractal dynamics
> o dynamics of populations
> * Collective Intelligence
> o collective decision and behaviors
> o emergent intelligence
> o social intelligence
> * Applications and Related Areas
> o evolutionary economics
> o complex theory
> o evolutionary computation
> o evolutionary games
>
> 3. Paper submission
>
> High quality papers in all related areas to AESCS are solicited. Papers
> exploring new directions will receive a careful and supportive review. All
> submitted papers will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality,
> relevance, significance, and clarity.
>
> Papers must be written in English. Papers that are being submitted to
other
> conferences, whether verbatim or in essence, must reflect this fact on the
> title page. Papers that do not meet this requirement are subject to
> rejection without review.
>
> Electronic submission is required. Please send PS or PDF version of your
> paper by May 15, 2002 to: keiki@atr.co.jp. A separate cover page must
> include paper title, author(s) postal & email address(es), a 200 word
> abstract, and up to 5 keywords. Please send these files separately.
>
> 4. Paper format
>
> Your paper should not exceed 8 pages in length with one columns as in a
> single space. A4 paper (29.7cm x 21 cm), 2.5cm margins on the top and
sides,
> 3cm bottom margin. This includes all figures, tables, graphs, and
> bibliography. Please, do *not* include the page numbers in your camera-
> ready paper.
>
> The title of the paper is centered 2.5cm below the top of the page in 16
> point bold font. Right below the title, the name of the authors, their
> affiliation information and their email addresses should be written. The
> font size for the authors is 12pt while their affiliation information is
in
> 10pt. The author font is bold but the affiliation is not. The main text
for
> your paper should be 10pt font or larger.
>
> 5. Publication
>
> Accepted papers are published in the workshop proceedings. Selected number
> of accepted papers will be asked to submit the revise version of final
paper
> for publication in New Generation Computation (International Journal),
> Springer, or the IOS Press.
>
> 6. Important dates
>
> * May 15, 2002: Paper submission deadline (by e-mail)
> * June 15, 2002: Notification of paper acceptance (by e-mail)
> * July 15, 2002: Camera-ready copies of accepted papers due (by e-mail)
> * August 16, 2002: Workshop
>
> 7. Registration and Participants
>
> The registration fees are 10,000 Japanese Yen which will cover conference
> materials including the proceedings. To encourage interaction and exchange
> of ideas, the workshops will be kept small with 25-40 participants.
> Attendance is limited to active participants only. We are planning to have
> ample time for general discussion.
>
> 8. Venue
>
> AESCS'02 is planned to be held at University of Tsukuba, located at the
> center of Tokyo, Japan.
