The 2nd International Workshop on Agent-based Mobility, Traffic and
Transportation Models, Methodologies and Applications (ABMTRANS¹13)

http://www.uhasselt.be/smartsite.net?id=18628
in conjunction with ANT-2013 conference
June 25-28, 2013, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

CALL FOR PAPERS 

The 2nd International Workshop on Agent-based Mobility, Traffic and
Transportation Models, Methodologies and Applications (ABMTRANS 2013)
provides an international forum on the latest technologies and research in
the field of traffic and transportation modeling using an agent-based
approach. ABMTRANS 2013 is organized in the context of the European FP7
project DATASIM (http://www.datasim-fp7.eu/). ABMTRANS 2013 will be held
in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada (25-28 June 2013) in conjunction with The
4th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies
(ANT-2013). 

SCOPE 

This workshop provides a multidisciplinary collaborative forum for
researchers and practitioners to submit papers presenting new research
results and novel ideas related to the theory or the practice of
agent-based traffic and transportation modeling. This workshop also
invites researchers to submit their work focusing on the data mining,
management and configuration for agent-based traffic and transportation
modeling. 

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

Agent-based modeling and simulation
Agent-human interactions
Environment modeling and interaction protocols
Data mining, learning and adaptation
Marketing decision support
Collaboration, cooperation, competition, coalitions in traffic and
transportation models
Agent-based negotiation of QoS and SLAs in traffic and transportation
models 
Social and emergent behavior in MAS-T (multi-agent systems applied to
traffic and transport)
Large scale simulation of agent-based microscopic traffic models
Calibration and validation of agent-based models for traffic and
transportation 
Role of multi-agent methodologies for complex systems
Conceptual modeling of agent-based approach
Agent-based freight transportation modeling
Multi-modal routing of agents in a dynamic traffic environment
Agent-based scheduling to establish synthetic agenda for day-to-day
activities 

SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS

All papers accepted for workshops will be included in the ANT-2013
proceedings, which will be published by Elsevier. The authors must follow
Elsevier guidelines as given in ANT-2013 website
(http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/ant-13/). The number of pages for
workshop papers is limited to 6 pages. Authors should submit their
contributions electronically in PDF format
at:https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=abmtrans2013.

The submission processes will be managed by easychair.org. If you have
used this system before, you can use the same username and password. If
this is your first time using EasyChair, you will need to register for an
account by clicking "I have no EasyChair account" button. Upon completion
of registration, you will get a notification email from the system and you
are ready for submitting your paper. You can upload and re-upload the
paper to the system by the submission due date.

The selective outstanding papers presented at the workshops, after further
revision, will be considered for publication in journals special issues.
In case of any problem with submission, please contact the workshop chair
for assistance. 

All workshops accepted papers will be printed in the conference
proceedings published by Elsevier Science in the open-access Procedia
Computer Science series (on-line). Procedia Computer Sciences is hosted on
www.Elsevier.com and on Elsevier content platform ScienceDirect
(http://www.sciencedirect.com <http://www.sciencedirect.com/>), and will
be freely available worldwide. All papers in Procedia will also be indexed
by Scopus (http://www.scopus.com <http://www.scopus.com/>) and Engineering
Village (Ei) (http://www.engineeringvillage.com
<http://www.engineeringvillage.com/>). This includes EI Compendex
(http://www.ei.org/compendex). All accepted papers will also be indexed in
DBLP (http://dblp.uni-trier.de/).

The selective outstanding papers presented at the workshops, after further
revision, will be considered for publication in journals special issues at
ANT'13 and in IJFCST.
