CALL FOR PAPERS
The Third International Workshop on Agent-based Approaches in Economic and
Social Complex Systems (AESCS'04)
May 27-29, 2004, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan
Web Site: http://www.ipe.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp/aescs04/
AESCS is held in parallel with The 9th WORKSHOP ON ECONOMICS AND
HETEROGENEOUS INTERACTING AGENTS (WEHIA 04,
http://www.nda.ac.jp/cs/AI/wehia04) in the above date and place.
1. Aims and scope of the workshop
There are many economic, organizational and social problems which require
collective information-processing with a large collection of autonomous and
heterogeneous agents. The third workshop on Agent-based Approaches in
Economic and Social Complex Systems (AESCS'04) 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 system theory for understanding emergent
and collective phenomena in economic, organizational, 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, (3) replicating issue, and
(4) evaluation and verification criteria for results and papers
(e.g. benchmark).
The 1st and 2nd AESCS invited Michael Cohen, Kathleen Carley, and Robert
Axtel as keynote speakers. In AESCS'04, we are planing to invite
distinguished researchers in the field.
2. Topics
The technical issues to be addressed include, but not limited to:
- Formal Theories on Agent-based Approaches
agent-based computational foundations; theories on rationality, intention,
emotion, social action, social interaction; heterogeneity and diversity of
agents
- Computational Economics and Organization Theory
agent-based economics; market-based computing; artificial markets; agents
in financial engineering; econophysics; computational organization theory
- Formal Theories of Social Dynamics
methodologies of modeling social behaviors; chaotic and fractal dynamics;
dynamics of populations
- Modeling, Simulation and Validation Techniques
modeling tool for agent-based simulation; large scale socio-economic
simulation; utilization of machine learning and other AI techniques;
hybridization of agent-based simulation and gaming simulation
- Collective Intelligence
collective decision and behaviors; emergent intelligence; social
intelligence
- Applications and Related Areas
evolutionary economics ;complex theory; evolutionary computation;
evolutionary games
3. 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.
4. Publication
Accepted papers are published in the workshop proceedings. We are also
planning to publish the selected number of papers presented in AESCS'04 from
Springer after the workshop.
5. Important dates
- February 27, 2004: Paper submission deadline (by e-mail)
- March 27, 2004: Notification of paper acceptance (by e-mail)
- April 27, 2004: Camera-ready copies of accepted papers due (by e-mail)
- May 27, 2004: Workshop
6. Registration and Participants
The registration fees are 10,000 Japanese Yen which will cover conference
materials including the proceedings. AESCS is held in parallel with The 9th
WORKSHOP ON ECONOMICS AND HETEROGENEOUS INTERACTING AGENTS (WEHIA
04). Participants to AESCS'04 can attend to all the sessions of these
workshops.
