Keynote Speakers

• Paul Glimcher, New York University, USA

• Jeffrey Johnson, The Open University, UK

• Sobei Oda, Kyoto Sangyo University, Japan

Aims

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.

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
