> Call for Papers
> Agent-Directed Simulation (ADS'05)
>
> Part of the 2005 Advanced Simulation Technologies Conference (ASTC'05)
>
> Sponsored by:
> The Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS)
>
> April 2 - 8, 2005

> San Diego, California
>
> The premise of the agent paradigm, its related theory and
> methodologies together with advances in multilevel modeling of complex
> systems of interactions opened new frontiers for advancing the
> physical, natural, social, military, and information sciences and
> engineering. 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. Agent-directed simulation consists of three distinct, yet related
> areas that can be grouped under two categories as follows: (1)
> Simulation for Agents (agent simulation): simulation of agent systems
> in engineering, human and social dynamics, military applications etc.
> (2) Agents for Simulation: agent-supported simulation deals with the
> use of agents as a support facility to enable computer assistance in
> problem solving or enhancing cognitive capabilities; agent-based
> simulation focuses on the use of agents for the generation of model
> behavior in a simulation study.
>
> ADS 2005 will provide a leading forum to bring together researchers
> and practitioners from diverse simulation societies within computer
> science, social sciences, engineering, business, education, human
> factors, and systems engineering. The involvement of various
> agent-directed simulation groups will enable the cross-fertilization
> of ideas and development of new perspectives by fostering novel
> advanced solutions, as well as enabling technologies for
> agent-directed simulation.
