Research in
the domain of multi-agent systems (MAS) is becoming more and more important
because of the capacity of MAS to design and simulate complex systems, i.e.
systems composed of many entities in interaction between themselves and with an
external environment. MAS are used in many domains in which classical
mathematical models are not available because either the dynamics are far from
equilibrium, or the systems are open (creation and deletion of entities in the
course of simulation), or emergent phenomena have to be explored, or the
entities are heterogeneous (for example, the eco-socio-systems which combine
ecological and social dynamics), or simply because they provide a more
intuitive understanding. The workshop is intended to offer a forum for people
interested in agent-based simulation to discuss methodologies, techniques and
applications.
We
encourage contributions which present not only case studies but also critical
analysis on the pertinence of multi-agent models and their usefulness for
understanding or for decision making, design and validation methodologies,
comparative studies in the modelling sciences. In particular, the subjects
include but are not limited to:

The
conference will take place in Agropolis, Montpellier, France. Montpellier is
located in the south of France very near from the mediterrenian sea. It is
easily reachable by plane (Montpellier-Méditerranée international airport) and
by train (3h15 from Paris by TGV).
Workshop
participants are requested to make their own arrangements. A number of rooms
have been appointed in various hotels of the center. Please see our web-site

Situated on
the “via domitia” joining Rome to Spain in the roman time, Montpellier has been
founded between the 10th and the 12th century by jews,
muslims and christians giving place to tolerance and fraternity. In 1220, the
first “universitas medicorum” of the world is founded and the university itself
in 1289 by the pope Nicolas IV. The town exhibits a varied architecture from
the old middle age town to the post-modern quarter of Antigone by the architect
Riccardo Bofill, going through the XVIIIth century architecture of the Peyrou
garden and justice palace and the hausmanian style of the Comedy square, one of
largest pedestrian square of Europe.
Nowadays,
Montpellier is becoming an important pole of attraction for many people (about
20’000 arriving each year) wishing to enjoy the sunny and dynamic atmosphere of
this increasingly important academic town. The region is also the largest wine
producing region of France.
