From: Pierre Bommel (bommel@cirad.fr)
Date: Mon Nov 03 2003 - 11:25:45 CET
Dear all
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Third International Workshop on
Agent-based Approaches in Economic and Social Complex Systems
(AESCS'04)
May 27-29, 2004, KyotoUniversity, 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:
lFormal Theories on Agent-based Approaches
agent-based computational foundations; theories on rationality,
intention, emotion, social action, social interaction; heterogeneity
and diversity of agents
lComputational Economics and Organization Theory
agent-based economics; market-based computing; artificial markets;
agents in financial engineering; econophysics; computational
organization theory
lFormal Theories of Social Dynamics
methodologies of modeling social behaviors; chaotic and fractal
dynamics; dynamics of populations
lModeling, 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
lCollective Intelligence
collective decision and behaviors; emergent intelligence; social
intelligence
lApplications 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
lFebruary 27, 2004: Paper submission deadline (by e-mail)
lMarch 27, 2004: Notification of paper acceptance (by e-mail)
lApril 27, 2004: Camera-ready copies of accepted papers due (by e-
mail)
lMay 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.
