The 1st IJCAI Workshop on Social Simulation will be held in July 11th, 2009 at the Pasadena Conference Center (Pasadena CA, USA) during the 21st International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence IJCAI-09.
Aims and Scope
Agent-based Social Simulation is a recent multi-disciplinary effort that has increasingly established new challenges for the Artificial Intelligence and Multiagent Systems community, by bringing the agent technology to face complex phenomena such as the ones found in social sciences. At the same time, social scientists have been discovering how the computer and especially the advances in artificial intelligence and multi-agent systems can provide a new and exciting tool to tackle the problems of their field, providing a paradigm shift in social sciences. The exchange between researchers in both areas has proven mutually fruitful, as much inspiration in MAS has come from Social Sciences, and these have benefited from more rigorous and operational concepts as well as from principled methodologies with which to design experiments with heterogeneous artificial agents.
