The Sixth International Workshop on

Agent-Based Approaches in Economic and Social Complex Systems

November 13-14, 2009,

National Chengchi University, Taipei, Taiwan

Conference website: http://www.aiecon.org/conference/aescs2009/index.htm

Keynote Speakers:

• Paul Glimcher, New York University, USA (To be confirmed)
• Jeffrey Johnson, The Open University, UK
• Sobei Oda, Kyoto Sangyo University, Japan

 

1. Aim:

   AESCS 2009 brings together researchers and practitioners from diverse fields, such as computer science, economics, physics, and complex system theory for understanding social complex systems. AESCS 2009 mainly focuses on applications of agent-based technologies to social complex systems. Conference participants will present the latest results of various researches, and discuss emergent phenomena and modeling issues of social complex systems, which will provide further understanding on social complex problems with agent-based technologies.

    

2. Topics:

   The topics include, but not limited to:

   1. Formal Theories on Agent-based Approaches

      Agent-based computational foundations; Theories on rationality, intention, and emotion; Social behaviors, social action, and social interaction; Mathematical organization theory; Mathematical sociology

       

   2. Computational Economics and Organization Theory

      Agent-based computational economics; Econophysics; Market-oriented computing; Artificial markets; Agents in financial engineering; Computational organization theory;

       

   3. Modeling, Simulation and Validation Techniques

      Toolkits and methods for agent-based simulation; Large scale social simulation; Validation and verification of simulation results and simulation systems;

       

   4. Gaming Simulation

      Gaming simulation; Participatory simulation; Hybridization of agent-based simulation and gaming simulation

       

   5. Collective Intelligence

      Collective decision and behaviors; Emergent intelligence; Social intelligence

       

   6. Applications of Agent-based Modeling

      Organization and industrial design; Electronic commerce; Community design; Environment problems; Emergency management: prevention of disasters, epidemic diseases, and finance collapses; Medical and insurance systems; Public policies; Spatial modeling, pedestrian modeling; Marketing decision support

       

   7. Related Areas

      Evolutionary economics; Complex adaptive systems, chaotic and fractal dynamics; Evolutionary computation; Evolutionary games; Population dynamics; Anthropology

       

   8. Conceptual Models and Methodologies

      Conceptual modeling of agent-based approach; Philosophical issues of agent-based modeling
