May 15th 2007, 8AM - 12 AM
Abstract
--------
The last years witnessed an increasing interest in experiments bringing
together human participants and software agents, in the purpose of
designing multi-agent systems (MAS) and agent-based simulations (ABS).
The aim of this tutorial is to provide solid theoretical knowledge in
this new research topic. Particularly, we will discuss the main issues
related to this approach and methods developed to overcome them. These
methods cover three different traditions of participatory design of MAS
and ABS.
The theory of participatory simulation is appealing only insofar as one
can have a flavor of its practical side. This is particularly helpful to
test, validate and improve the design of existing MAS. Therefore, we aim
at making the audience take part in a small experiment during this
tutorial.
