We would like to cordially invite you to consider contributing a paper to MAS&S - held as a part of the Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS 2016). 

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

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

MAS&S'16 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 18, 2016 (strict deadline). 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, ISSN and DOI 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
