*Title of the workshop*

*Agent-based modeling and simulation of complex systems: engineering and
applications (ABSEA)*



*Website: **http://www.paams.net/absea14* <http://www.paams.net/absea14>





*A description of the topic of the workshop*



Among practical applications of agents and multi-agents systems, the use of
the agent paradigm in modeling and simulation of complex systems is now
well established in various research fields (such as social sciences,
ecology, finance...) and very successful. Agent-based simulation is a
powerful tool to study complex systems and more particularly their dynamic.
It allows to model systems at the appropriate scale, to explore these
models at will and thus test theories that would not be possible to
investigate in actual world. Huge efforts have been done to provide to
non-computer scientists simple and easy-to-learn tools (Netlogo is perhaps
the best example) that allow domain experts to implement their own simple
models and test them.



However simulation is now used to study phenomena with more and more
details and thus higher and higher complexity. Simple tools, simple ways to
develop simulation and to explore them are no more adapted. Every
stakeholder involved in the modeling and simulation process needs much more
advanced conceptual, methodological and technical tools to face issues
induced by their new goal to do large-scale simulation.



The aim of this workshop is thus to be a place of gathering, discussion and
cross-fertilization between both agent-based simulation and engineering for
multi-agent system communities. It provides an opportunity to exchange
ideas on current and future research advances in modeling, implementation,
simulation and management and analysis of simulation results of complex
systems, to present the latest applications and to generate
interdisciplinary discussions.
