Organisers: Rob Allan (STFC), Paul Richmond (University of Sheffield),
Chris Greenough (STFC)

Date: Tuesday 15th June 2010

Time: 9:30am-4pm

There are many applications of agent based technology in the
mathematical, physical, biological and social science research
communities. Multi-agent systems are very complex applications to
program, implement and optimise for large populations of agents. The
optimisation of agent interactions and the management of initial data
and outputs for large scale simulations are but two areas that need
research and development efforts.

There are clearly many areas within agent based methods that might
benefit from such activity: serial and parallel implementation of
agent based applications, verification and validation of agent based
models, standards for the exchange of agent based models to name but a
few.

We invite you to participate in a workshop to consider future research
directions in agent based modelling. To find out more please see the

We look forward to seeing you in Leeds,

Sincerely,
Rob Allan, Paul Richmond and Chris Greenough.
