Conference web site: www.agent2006.anl.gov
* Agent 2006 Conference and Papers, September 21-23, 2006
Gleacher Center, 450 North Cityfront Plaza Drive, Chicago**
Also held preceding the Agent 2006 Conference at the Chicago City Centre
Holiday Inn, 300 East Ohio Street, Chicago:
* Repast Modeling Workshop, September 18-20, 2006

* NetLogo Modeling Workshop, September 18-20, 2006
presented by Northwestern University's Center for Connected Learning and
Computer-Based Modeling
It has now been a decade since the Sugarscape exemplar appeared upon the scene,
and this provides an opportune moment to assess the state of the field of
social agent simulation. What are the most influential insights and/or the best
practices that have emerged in the last decade? What are the most promising
current lines of research, and how can they best be validated? What conceptual
and/or technological breakthroughs hold the greatest potential for the future?
The answers to these and related questions will shape the forms of progress in
social agent simulation during the decade to come. We invite you to join us
with your papers and insights as we explore these vital issues. Agent 2006 will
reserve one day for each of the following topics:
* Methods, Toolkits, & Techniques, Michael North, address@hidden
* Computational Social Theory, David Sallach, address@hidden
* Social Simulation Applications, Charles Macal, address@hidden
We encourage those submitting abstracts to indicate under which topic they
might best be considered.
Important Dates:
* July 3, 2006 Abstract Deadline
* July 7, 2006 Notification of Acceptance
* August 7, 2006 Camera-ready Paper Deadline (required for inclusion in the
Agent 2006 Proceedings)
If you are interested in presenting a paper, please submit an abstract of at
least 500 words to agent address@hidden If your extended abstract is accepted,
you will be asked to submit a paper of 2,500 to 3,500 words in final form.
Paper format guidelines and other conference-related information are provided
on the Agent website. Papers that are submitted by the camera-ready paper
deadline (August 7, 2006) will be published in the Agent 2006 Proceedings,
which will be available on CD at this year's conference.
