Deadlines for papers submission Track Description Agent paradigm and its related theory and methodologies opened new frontiers for advancing the physical, natural, social, military, and information sciences and engineering. Agent-directed Simulation consists of three distinct, yet related areas which can be grouped under two categories as follows:
Use of Simulation for Agents Agent Simulation: simulation of agent systems. Agent simulation is already used in several categories of application areas such as: · Engineering applications: electrical engineering, irrigation systems, manufacturing systems, mechatronics, networks, robotics, software, as well as transportation/logistics; · Management/economy applications: economy, e-commerce, and management; · Social systems and human behavior applications: social systems, psychology/human behaviour, physiology, negotiation, and organization theory; · Environment applications: ecosystems, land use; · Military applications.
Use of Agents for Simulation Agent-supported Simulation: use of agents in a simulation study for at least one of the following purposes: (in a computer-aided simulation environment –including simulation-based problem solving environments): · to provide computer assistance for front-end and/or back-end interface functions; · to process elements of a simulation study symbolically (for example, for consistency checks and built-in reliability); and · to provide cognitive abilities to the elements of a simulation study, such as learning or understanding abilities. Agent-based Simulation: use of agents for the generation of model behavior in a simulation study.
Agent-Directed Simulation session of tracks aims to provide a leading forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse simulation societies. The involvement of various agent-directed simulation groups will enable the cross-fertilization of ideas and development of new perspectives by fostering novel advanced solutions, as well as enabling technologies for agent-directed simulation.
