AMPLE2011: 1st Workshop on Agent-based Modeling for Policy Engineering

Co-located with AAMAS at 2011

 

Workshop Goals

 

The goal of AMPLE is to connect agent and artificial society research on
the one hand, with policy making, institutional analysis and tools like
system dynamics and gaming on the other. The combination could have
benefits for the further enrichment of agent-based modeling and
simulation. By gathering these different perspectives, we aim to explore
how agent-research can be used or improved to assist with policy making
in the social sciences.

 

TOPICS

 

Topics of particular interest for AMPLE include, but are not limited to:

 

Policy making: (tools and methods for) analysis, simulation, evaluation

Agent societies: design and simulation

Formal methods for specifying policies in coordination and
organizational structures;

Models for verification, validation and visualization of simulations for
policy making

Integration of normative and social aspects: formal aspects and
practical issues

Agent-based models for decision making:

Social networks: influence in decision making; representation; models
for simulation

Culture and social norms: influence in decision making; representation;
models for simulation

Design for values in policy making

Comparison between System Dynamics and Agent-based modeling

Gaming: role in policy analysis; relation to simulation

Instruction For Authors

 

Because the post-proceedings will be published in Springer LNCS, the
preliminary proceedings will follow the corresponding format. The author
instructions for both Word and LaTeX are available at the Springer
website (here). The length of each paper including figures and
references may not exceed 15 pages in this format. All papers must be
written in English and submitted in PDF format. Submission of a paper
should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted,
at least one of the authors will attend the workshop to present the
work.
