CALL FOR PAPERS: AACC-08, ADAPTIVE AGENTS IN CULTURAL CONTEXTS
AAAI Fall Symposium
Arlington, Virginia, USA
November 7-9, 2008

aacc08 at easychair.org

NEW: Papers and panel proposals accepted until May 23.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Computational human behavior models, in extending a conventional
information-processing approach, face two complex problems:
adaptation and evolution of behavior, and the socio-cultural
specificity of cognition. These fields are vast, variegated,
informed by disparate theoretical and technical disciplines, and
interrelated. This symposium seeks to focus research by examining
their intersection. In addition to informing academic research,
expected applications include simulations and training for
international commercial enterprise, non-governmental
organizations, and military, as well as commercial games.

We aim to bring together communities of artificial intelligence,
social science, and cognitive science researchers, with
developers of games and simulations within both commercial and
governmental sectors. To this end, we solicit papers such as:
* Position papers on challenges in the field
* Surveys and analysis of pertinent literature
* Case studies of simulation or game development that contain
   adaptive and/or cultural aspects
* Theoretical work in modeling cultural behavior, adaptive
   behavior, or their interrelation
* Analysis of human behavior in relevant domains
* Empirical comparisons of agent models

Accepted papers will be collected and published in a AAAI
Symposium Technical Report.
