We intend for 2022 to include a special session on <b><i>simulations related to the crisis</i></b>, e.g., Modelling of transmission processes, societies, or effects of interventions. We especially encourage the submission of novel and original approaches that
are not fully developed and can benefit from discussions.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The workshop will provide a forum for social scientists, MAS and AI researchers and developers, as well as simulation researchers,
to assess the current state of the art in the modelling and simulation of social systems and MAS, to identify where existing approaches can be successfully applied, to learn about new approaches and explore future research challenges, and to exchange ideas
and knowledge in an inter-disciplinary environment. The workshop will be of interest to researchers engaged in modelling and analysis of 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.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">MABS intends to be a place where researchers can exchange ideas about their work and we are looking forward to the community meeting
once again in person. At the same time, we are also planning for the possibility that the global public health situation might require us to run the workshop as a partly or fully virtual event. In such a context, we will adapt the program and provide the tools
so that researchers from all around the world can participate to the event. Even in an online workshop, we will endeavor to create the space for informal exchange of ideas and to get to know each other, for example in panel discussions or digital break-out
rooms on topics identified during the workshop by the participants.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
