_____ ABModSim 2006 _____

International Symposium on Agent Based Modeling and Simulation
(Symposium N of the EMCSR)(http://www.lintar.disco.unimib.it/ABModSim/)


Chairs: Stefania Bandini, Paolo Petta and Giuseppe Vizzari

at the 18th European Meeting on Cybernetic Science and
Systems Research - April 18-21 - University of Vienna
(http://www.osgk.ac.at/emcsr/)

===========

Introduction
The notions of agents and multi-agent systems have been widely adopted
for the modelling of complex systems in most various contexts, ranging
from social sciences, to urban modelling and planning, biology,
logistics and production, and many other more. However the concepts
behind the term agent are often quite different, as well as the goals of
the modelling and simulation activities. This leads to different
approaches, methodologies and developed computational systems supporting
simulation of the modeled realities.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together experiences related to
agent based modelling and simulation in different contexts and thus to
try to identify common goals and research issues, and to possibly define
common methodologies and requirements for computational supports to
agent based modelling and simulation.

The workshop program includes contributions from different disciplines,
from economy and social sciences, to biology and computer science,
discussing both methodological issues and concrete applications.
