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.

------
Two kinds of PhD student grants are available :
_ Travel and stay : the condition is to be member of an AgentLink Node
(ask to your
lab) ;
_ Registration : the condition is to be french speaking or related to
french research.
The priority will be given to students having a paper or a poster.
The requests must be sent to [log in to unmask]
Venue
-----
The conference will take place in Agropolis, Montpellier, France.
Montpellier is located in the
south of France very near from the mediterrenian sea. It is easily
reachable by plane
(Montpellier-Méditerranée international airport) and by train (3h15
from Paris by TGV).
Accomodation
------------

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.
