1st Call for Participation

Agent-Based Simulation 4

SCS-Europe and CIRAD
organize
the 4th International Workshop on Agent-Based Simulation
in
Montpellier, France

April 28-30, 2003

http://abs2003.cirad.fr

Workshop topics

Research in the domain of multi-agent systems (MAS) is becoming more 
and more important because of the capacity of MAS to design and 
simulate complex systems, i.e. systems composed of many entities in 
interaction between themselves and with an external environment. MAS 
are used in many domains in which classical mathematical models are not 
available because either the dynamics are far from equilibrium, or the 
systems are open (creation and deletion of entities in the course of 
simulation), or emergent phenomena have to be explored, or the entities 
are heterogeneous (for example, the eco-socio-systems which combine 
ecological and social dynamics), or simply because they provide a more 
intuitive understanding. The workshop is intended to offer a forum for 
people interested in agent-based simulation to discuss methodologies, 
techniques and applications.

Montpellier

Situated on the “via domitia” joining Rome to Spain in the roman time, 
Montpellier has been founded between the 10th and the 12th century by 
jews, muslims and christians giving place to tolerance and fraternity. 
In 1220, the first “universitas medicorum” of the world is founded and 
the university itself in 1289 by the pope Nicolas IV. The town exhibits 
a varied architecture from the old middle age town to the post-modern 
quarter of Antigone by the architect Riccardo Bofill, going through the 
XVIIIth century architecture of the Peyrou garden and justice palace 
and the hausmanian style of the Comedy square, one of largest 
pedestrian square of Europe.
Nowadays, Montpellier is becoming an important pole of attraction for 
many people (about 20’000 arriving each year) wishing to enjoy the 
sunny and dynamic atmosphere of this increasingly important academic 
town. The region is also the largest wine producing region of France.
