<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The 19th International Workshop on Multi-Agent-Based Simulation | MABS 2018 - Stockholm, Sweden | July 14 or 15, 2018
<br>
MABS 2018 is part of the Federated AI Meeting (FAIM) that takes place in Stockholm July 9-19, which includes the 17th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS), the 35th International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML),
the 27th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) and the 23rd European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI).
<br>
<br>
<br>
AIM AND SCOPE <br>
The meeting of researchers from Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) engineering and the social/economic/organisational sciences is extensively recognised for its role in cross-fertilisation, and it has undoubtedly been an important source of inspiration for the body
of knowledge that has been produced in the MAS area. The MABS workshop series continues with its goal to bring together researchers interested in MAS engineering, with researchers focused on finding efficient solutions to model complex social systems, in such
areas as economics, management, organisational and social sciences in general. In all these areas, agent theories, metaphors, models, analysis, experimental designs, empirical studies, and methodological principles, all converge into simulation as a way of
achieving explanations and predictions, exploration and testing of hypotheses, better designs and systems. The range of technical issues that MABS has and continues to deal with is diverse and extensive, and includes:
<br>
<br>
Simulation methodology, e.g.: <br>
– Standards for MABS <br>
– Methodologies and simulation languages for MABS <br>
– Simulation platforms and tools for MABS <br>
– Visualisation and analytic tools <br>
– Scalability and robustness in MABS <br>
<br>
Simulation of social and intelligent behaviour, e.g.: <br>
– Formal and agent models of social behaviour <br>
– Cognitive modelling and simulation <br>
– Game theory and simulation <br>
– Social structure: social networks and simulating organisations <br>
– Simulating social complexity, e.g. structures and norms, social order, emergence of cooperation and coordinated action, self-organisation, self-regulation, and the micro-macro link
<br>
<br>
Applications, e.g.: <br>
– MABS in environmental modelling <br>
– Agent-based experimental economics <br>
– Participative-based simulation <br>
– MABS and games <br>
– MABS in governance and policy-making <br>
<br>
Moreover, in this edition, we will encourage submissions that address the simulation of learning and other intelligent behaviour, as well as how data mining can be used to build MABS models from social big data.
<br>
<br>
More information about the MABS series is available at https://www2.pcs.usp.br/~mabs/
<br>
<br>
TARGET AUDIENCE <br>
The workshop will provide a forum for social scientists, MAS and AI researchers and developers, and simulation researchers, (1) to assess the current state of the art in the modelling and simulation of social systems and MAS, (2) to identify where existing
approaches can be successfully applied, (3) to learn about new approaches and explore future research challenges, and (4) to exchange ideas and knowledge in an inter-disciplinary environment.
<br>
<br>
The workshop will be of interest to researchers engaged in modelling and in analysing multi-agent systems, and those interested in applying agent-based simulation techniques to real-world problems. In addition, it will attract researchers committed to cross-cutting
research that is complementary to more orthodox modelling approaches. <br>
