                               CALL FOR PAPERS

                    The Second International Workshop on
  Agent-based Approaches in Economic and Social Complex Systems (AESCS'02)

            August 16, 2002, University of Tsukuba, Tokyo, Japan
            http://www.atr.co.jp/his/~keiki/cfp/conf/AESCS.html

1. Aims and scope of the workshop

There are many economic, organization and social problems which require
collective information-processing with a large collection of autonomous and
heterogeneous agents. The second workshop on Agent-based Approaches in
Economic and Social Complex Systems (AESCS) intends to increase the
awareness of the members of the community concerning the following three
basic issues:

   * (1) There is no centralized or global control among agents.
   * (2) There is no common communication among agents.
   * (3) There is an explicit or implicit global objective, and we are
     confronted with the inverse problem of how to configure the system to
     achieve that objective.

The fundamental objective of AESCS'02 is to foster the formation of an
active multi-disciplinary community on multiagent, computational economics,
organizational science, social dynamics, and complex systems.

The aim of AESCS is also to bring together researchers and practitioners
from diverse fields, such as computer science, economics, physics,
sociology, psychology, and complex theory for understanding emergent and
collective phenomena in economic, organization, and social systems, and to
discuss on effectiveness and limitations of computational models and methods
in social sciences. Furthermore, AESCS focuses on an importance of
cumulative progress of agent-based simulation through a discussion of (1)
common tasks, (2) standard computational models (including libraries), (3)
replicating issue, and (4) evaluation and verification criteria for results
and papers (e.g. benchmark).

Finally, we are planing to invite Robert Axtell as an invited speaker,
followed by Michael Cohen and Kathleen Carley as invited speakers in the
last year. Robert Axtell is well known researcher as one of authors of
"Growing Artificial Societies".

2. Topics

The technical issues to be addressed include, but not limited to:

   * Formal Theories on Agent-based Approaches
        o agent-based computational foundations
        o theories on rationality, intention, emotion, social action, social
          interaction
        o heterogeneity and diversity of agents
   * Computational Economics and Organization
        o agent-based economics
        o market-based computing
        o artificial markets
        o agents in financial engineering
        o econophysics
        o computational organization theory
   * Formal Theories of Social Dynamics
        o methodologies of modeling social behaviors
        o chaotic and fractal dynamics
        o dynamics of populations
   * Collective Intelligence
        o collective decision and behaviors
        o emergent intelligence
        o social intelligence
   * Applications and Related Areas
        o evolutionary economics
        o complex theory
        o evolutionary computation
        o evolutionary games

3. Paper submission

High quality papers in all related areas to AESCS are solicited. Papers
exploring new directions will receive a careful and supportive review. All
submitted papers will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality,
relevance, significance, and clarity.

Papers must be written in English. Papers that are being submitted to other
conferences, whether verbatim or in essence, must reflect this fact on the
title page. Papers that do not meet this requirement are subject to
rejection without review.

Electronic submission is required. Please send PS or PDF version of your
paper by May 15, 2002 to: [log in to unmask] A separate cover page must
include paper title, author(s) postal & email address(es), a 200 word
abstract, and up to 5 keywords. Please send these files separately.

4. Paper format

Your paper should not exceed 8 pages in length with one columns as in a
single space. A4 paper (29.7cm x 21 cm), 2.5cm margins on the top and sides,
3cm bottom margin. This includes all figures, tables, graphs, and
bibliography. Please, do *not* include the page numbers in your camera-
ready paper.

The title of the paper is centered 2.5cm below the top of the page in 16
point bold font. Right below the title, the name of the authors, their
affiliation information and their email addresses should be written. The
font size for the authors is 12pt while their affiliation information is in
10pt. The author font is bold but the affiliation is not. The main text for
your paper should be 10pt font or larger.

5. Publication

Accepted papers are published in the workshop proceedings. Selected number
of accepted papers will be asked to submit the revise version of final paper
for publication in New Generation Computation (International Journal),
Springer, or the IOS Press.

6. Important dates

   * May 15, 2002: Paper submission deadline (by e-mail)
   * June 15, 2002: Notification of paper acceptance (by e-mail)
   * July 15, 2002: Camera-ready copies of accepted papers due (by e-mail)
   * August 16, 2002: Workshop

7. Registration and Participants

The registration fees are 10,000 Japanese Yen which will cover conference
materials including the proceedings. To encourage interaction and exchange
of ideas, the workshops will be kept small with 25-40 participants.
Attendance is limited to active participants only. We are planning to have
ample time for general discussion.

8. Venue

AESCS'02 is planned to be held at University of Tsukuba, located at the
center of Tokyo, Japan.
