We would like to cordially invite you to consider contributing a paper 
to MAS&S 2015 - held as a part of the Federated Conference on Computer 
Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS 2015).

FedCSIS is an annual international multi-conference organized by the 
Polish Information Processing Society (PTI) in technical cooperation 
with the IEEE Region 8, IEEE Computer Society, IEEE Poland Section 
Computer Society Chapter, IEEE Poland (Gdansk) Section Computer Society 
Chapter, IEEE-CIS Poland Section Chapter, ACM Special Interest Group on 
Applied Computing, ACM Lodz Chapter, European Alliance for Innovation, 
Committee of Computer Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Polish 
Operational and Systems Research Society, Eastern Cluster ICT Poland, 
and Mazovia Cluster ICT.

TOPICS
=======================================

MAS&S'15 aims at providing a forum for discussing recent advances in 
Engineering Complex Systems by exploiting Agent-Based Modeling and 
Simulation. In particular, the areas of interest are the following 
(although this list should not be considered as exclusive):

- Agent-based simulation techniques and methodologies
- Discrete-event simulation of Multi-Agent Systems
- Simulation as validation tool for the development process of MAS
- Agent-oriented methodologies incorporating simulation tools
- MAS simulation driven by formal models
- MAS simulation toolkits and frameworks
- Testing vs. simulation of MAS
- Industrial case studies based on MAS and simulation/testing
- Agent-based Modeling and Simulation (ABMS)
- Agent Computational Economics (ACE)
- Agent Computational Finance (ACF)
- Agent-based simulation of networked systems
- Scalability in agent-based simulation

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
=======================================

Papers should be submitted by April 24, 2015. Preprints will be 
published on a USB memory stick provided to the FedCSIS participants. 
Only papers presented during the conference will be submitted to the 
IEEE for inclusion in the Xplore Digital Library. Furthermore, 
proceedings, published in a volume with ISBN and ISSN numbers will 
posted at the conference WWW site. Extended versions of selected papers 
presented during the conference will be published as Special Issue(s) of:
- Scalable Computing; Practice and Experience
- Complex Adaptive Systems Modeling (publication fee waiver for the 
papers that are going to be selected is expected)
- Multiagent and Grid Systems
- Computer Science Journal
