Call for Papers
2005 Agent-Directed Simulation Symposium (ADS'05)

Part of the 2005 Spring Simulation Multiconference (SpringSim'05)

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

April 3 - 7, 2005

Hilton Mission Valley Hotel
San Diego, CA

The purpose of this symposium is to facilitate dissemination of the most recent advancements in the theory, methodology, application, and toolkits of agent-directed simulation. Developments in theory and methodology are expected to boost opportunities for previously unforeseen application domains. As the envelope of theory, methodology, and infrastructures increases, so does the perimeter of ambitious agent-based projects. To this end, this symposium is devoted to emergent agent theories, methodologies, and environments that can facilitate analysis, design, and implementation of agent-directed simulations for various application areas such as military, business, engineering, human and social dynamics, ecosystems, etc. Abstracts for technical and position papers are solicited. 

Topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

Theory
Agent-based computational organization theory
Agent-based simulation of anticipatory systems
Agent simulation architectures 
Cooperative autonomy and coalitions
Deliberative, interpretive, and social agents
Formal models of agents and agent societies
Holonic agent systems 
Models of competition, cooperation, and negotiation
Methodology
Agent-based simulation software engineering 
Agents in support of simulation methodologies 
Computational autonomy 
Control of agent-based systems 
Design and validation of agent simulations 
Emergent law discovery in agent simulations 
Human behavior modeling and simulation
