Dear Pacal,
Thanks for your information. Once we get abstracts we can "reorganise" the
sessions.
Cheers,
herry

Dear Herry,
Just to mention to our CORMAS community (and beyond) that we are also
concerned with another MODSIM05 session called:
"Human Ecosystems Modelling and Management with Agents" organised by David
Batten (CSIRO), Nils Ferrand (CEMAGREF) and myself (ANU/CIRAD)
As D. Gimblett and R. Itami have already proposed a session on " Advances in
multi-agent simulations in geographic space"... there is plenty of room for
ABM/MAS approaches!
Having said that, after discussion with A.Zerger (co-convenor of MODSIM05)
it might be that the organizing committee ask for some "reshuffling" between
sessions according to the number of abstracts received.
cheers
pascal

Dear Colleagues,
MODSIM 2005 international conference will take place in Melbourne,
Australia, from 12-15 December 2005 (http://www.mssanz.org.au/modsim05/
<http://www.mssanz.org.au/modsim05/> ). We will be co-managing a special
session entitled "Modelling of common pool resource management for decision
making in developing countries".
We believe, you have been working on some fine natural resource management
related modeling, which fits under the topic of our special session. MODSIM
2005 would be an excellent forum for you to share your knowledge and
findings with a wide audience. Hereby, we invite you to submit a paper for
this session.
Abstracts are due by 18 March 2005 and should be submitted using the
Web-Based Conference Management System available at
http://www.civenv.unimelb.edu.au/wcmt/
<http://www.civenv.unimelb.edu.au/wcmt/> . Authors will be notified of
abstract acceptance by 8 April 2005. Full papers with extended abstracts
will be due by 12 August 2005.
We would appreciate your help in forwarding this information to any
interested colleagues, students, and relevant mailing lists. If you need
further information, please contact us. We look forward to receiving your
abstracts.
Yours sincerely,
Sonya Dewi ( <mailto:s.dewi@cgiar.org> s.dewi@cgiar.org) and Herry Purnomo
(h.purnomo@cgiar.org)
===================================
Special Session Abstract
Modeling of common pool resource management for decision making in
developing countries
Common pool resources inherently embrace the temporal and spatial dynamics
of quality and quantity of natural resources, anthropogenic factors and
geographical factors. Managing these resources to increase community welfare
while preserving the environment is tremendously complex, especially in
developing countries where regulations and institutions are not well
established and enforced. Considerable effort has gone into developing
models and tools for decision making in common resources pool management.
While natural resource management modeling increasingly attracts more
attention, mostly within the circles of academics or researchers, there has
been little to no discussion on the use and usefulness of the models, the
appropriate roles of the modelers, strategies to influence decision makers
and their impacts.
This session invites papers on ideas and experiences in the modeling and
simulation of common pool resources management and how they can be used
effectively in developing countries. This session will discuss issues on the
following: (a) Simulation and modeling of integrated natural resources
management, (b) Integration of action research and modeling in natural
resources management, (c) The role of modelers in the management of complex
adaptive systems, (d) Modeling of social capital and social movement, and
(d) The uses of modeling in true-life decision and policy-making processes
