Part of the 2009 Spring Simulation Multiconference (SpringSim'09)

 

Sponsored by: The Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS)

in collaboration with
 ACM/SIGSIM

Dates: March 22-27, 2009

San Diego, California

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Program Topics:

 

Technical and position papers are solicited on the theory, methodology, technology, tools, toolkits, and environments as well as applications. Topics include, but are not limited to the following areas:

  • Theory/methodology:
     

    • High-level agent specification languages for modeling and simulation.

    • Agent programming and simulation modeling languages.

    • Distributed simulation for multi-agent systems.

    • Formal models of agents and agent societies.

    • Advanced agent features for agent simulation: e.g.,

    • Cooperation and coopetition modeling with holonic agents.

    • Agents with personality, agents with dynamic personality, agents with emotions, agents having different types of intelligence such as emotional intelligence, agents with several types of understanding abilities such as multivision understanding ability, trustworthy agents, moral agents.

    • Verification, validation, and testing of agent-directed simulations.
       

  • Technology, tools, toolkits, and environments:
     

    • Agent infrastructures and supporting technologies (e.g., interoperability, agent-oriented software engineering environments).

    • Modeling, design, and simulation of agent systems based on service-oriented technologies, pervasive computing, web-services, grid computing, autonomic computing, ambient intelligence.

    • Agent architectures, platforms, and frameworks.

    • Standard APIs for agent simulation programming.
       

  • Applications:
     

    • Simulation modeling of agent technologies at the organization, interaction (e.g., communication, negotiation, coordination, collaboration) and agent level (e.g., deliberation, social agents, computational autonomy).

    • Application of agent simulations in various areas such as biology, business, commerce, economy, engineering, environment, individual, group, and organization behavior, management, simulation gaming/training, social systems.

    • Conflict management simulation with holonic agents.
