> CONTEXT
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Agent-based Computational Economics (ACE) deals with the computational
> study of economies as complex adaptive systems implying interacting
> agents with cognitive skills. This area has provoked, in various
> fields of Economics, a great deal of academic interest, in relation
> with the Complex System approaches.
>
> One of the first use of agent based models has been popularized by
> Axelrod in his theory of evolution of cooperation. In this early work
> he used extensively computational simulations and methods in order to
> study strategic behaviour in the iterated prisoner's dilemma. This
> work is still influencing many researches in various scientific
> fields. It has for instance been the foundations of a new approach of
> the game theory based on computational ideas.
>
> In the mid eighties, under the impulsion of the Santa-Fe Institute,
> and especially Christopher Langton, a new field of research, called
> Artificial Life (AL), has emerged. The idea of AL was to mimic real
> life under its various aspects to understand the basic principles of
> life. This has lead to encompass wider ideas such as complexity,
> evolution, auto-organisation and emergence. All concepts induced by
> those approaches have influenced social scientists among others.
>
> Following those initial attempts to mix computational approaches and
> social sciences, for instance among the pioneering works using ACE in
> finance, one can refer to the Artificial Stock Market by Palmer,
> Arthur, Holland, LeBaron, and Taylor. This model, based on bounded
> rationality and inductive reasoning, is one of the first allowing
> correct simulations of real world stock market dynamics. This work has
> been done by people coming from various scientific fields (Economics,
> Game Theory, Computer Science and Finance).
>
> Recently, another growing field appeared, dealing with the study of
> the formation and the dynamics of social networks. To understand the
> spread of information as well as the social beliefs one has to
> consider the underlying social networks that can have different
> effects on those processes. This special topic is another where
> physicists, computer scientists and economists join their efforts to
> explore the idea that economic activity is embedded in social
> structure.
>
> All thoses approaches intensively use computer simulation as well as
> artificial intelligence concepts mostly based on multi-agents
> systems. In this context, the most used models come from game theory.
>
> Therefore, Agent-based Computational Economics is more and more an
> important methodology in many Social-Sciences (the Management
> Sciences, Sociology, Economics, Conflicts Resolution, etc). It becomes
> now widely used to test theoretical models or to investigate their
> properties when analytical solutions are not possible.

> AIMS AND SCOPES
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> The main aims of the event are to:
>
> * present computer-science based multi-agent methodologies and tools
> with their applications to social-scientists (mainly people from
> economics and the management sciences)
>
> * present uses and needs of multi-agent based models and their
> constraints, as used by those social scientists, to computer
> scientists
>
> * favor the meeting of people and ideas of those two communities in
> order to be able to construct a much structured multi-disciplinary
> approach.
>
> For its first edition, the Symposium will thus present recent
> scientific advances in the fields of ACE but is also widely open to
> methodological surveys. Topics include but are not limited to the
> following:
>
> * Computational Game Theory (Non-Cooperative, Cooperative,
> Evolutionary, Pure coordination Games...)
>
> * Discrete choice models in Economics and the Management Sciences
>
> * Emergence and dynamics of Norms and Conventions
>
> * Financial Market and Organization Models (Stock prices dynamics,
> Herding in Financial Markets)
>
> * Epistemology and Agent-based Methodological issues
>
> * Dynamics of social and economic networks
>
