> Call for Papers: Complex Multi-agent interaction dynamics
>
> Please forward this call for papers to any relevant lists or individuals
>
> The journal Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society (DDNS) is
> producing a
> special issue on the topic of "Complex multi-agent interaction
> dynamics".
>
> DDNS's main field of interest is the use of nonlinear difference
> equations
> to model complex phenomena in natural and social systems. However, the
> rise
> in computer processing power, and the development of powerful parallel
> processing hardware and software, has made it possible to model many
> complex systems as the result of the interactions of discrete agents.
>
> This special issue of DDNS will focus exclusively upon this approach to
> system modelling. Papers will be considered on any and all topics, so
> long
> as the paper meets the parameters of using interactive multiple agent
> systems to generate or explain complex systems.
>
> While it is expected that the majority of papers will report on computer
> simulations of complex systems, we will also consider papers that
> consider
> the philosophical and methodological issues involved, or that consider
> the
> relationship of this approach to modelling to more traditional
> techniques
> (such as systems of difference or differential equations). Book reviews
> are
> also invited.
>
> The editors for this special issue are:

> Papers should be no more than 6,000 words in length (2,000 words for
> book
> reviews), and should where possible include colour reproductions of any
> graphics (DDNS frequently prints high quality colour plate
> reproductions).
>
> Submitted papers should use the following format:
>
> * Electronic submission, either by anonymous ftp to:
> ftp://parallel.hpc.unsw.edu.au/DDNS; or
> by email attachment to the editors for this special issue
>
> PDF is the preferred file format (check with the editors before
> submitting
> files in any other format apart from PDF or Microsoft Word);
>
> Two files must be submitted: One an abstract noting author(s),
> affiliations, & physical and email addresses; a second file containing
> the
> submitted paper plus abstract, without authorship details;
>
> File names should follow the convention
> DDNS_PrimaryAuthorSurnameAbstract &
> DDNS_PrimaryAuthorSurname; these will be changed to a numerical naming
> system when sent to referees;
>
> Headers and footers should identify the paper title, page number etc.,
> but
> should not mention author names;
>
> Limitations should be placed on the quality of any graphics to keep file
> size below 2 megabytes;
>
> The deadline for paper submission is August 31st, 2002.
