Topics of Interest
The range of technical issues that MABS has dealt with, and continues to deal with, is quite diverse and extensive. Topics relevant to this workshop include, but are not limited to, the following:
Simulation methodologies
- standards for MABS
- methodologies and simulation languages for MABS
- simulation platforms and tools for MABS
- Organizational and analytic tools
- approaches for large-scale simulations
- scalability and robustness in MABS
- future challenges in MABS
Simulation of social and economic organizations
- formal and agent models of social organizations
- cognitive organizations and social simulation
- game theory and simulation
- social structure: social networks and simulating organizations
- simulating social complexity (e.g. structures and norms, social order, emergence of cooperation and coordinated action, self-organisation, the micro-macro link)
Applications / Empirical work
- MABS in environmental organizations
- MABS and cloud computing
- agent-based experimental economics
- participative-based simulation
- MABS and games
All of these topics are important for both the MAS community doing simulation, and for economic, social, and organizational scientists doing simulation.
