Agent and Service based Modeling and Simulation

at the International Workshop on Modelling & Applied Simulation

(MAS 2008)

 

Chair: Angelo Furfaro

Affiliation: University of Calabria, Italy

 

Contacts: a.furfaro@deis.unical.it

 

 

Track Description

Recently, the exploitation of agent and service technologies in the field of simulation received a growing interest. The goal of this track is to present and discuss recent advances and
results in this research area. Specifically, high-quality papers on agent and service based modelling and simulation techniques as well as promising applications are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 

· Agent based modelling languages and tools for (distributed) simulation

· Service oriented architectures for distributed simulation

· Agents and High Level Architecture

· Exploitation of agents for the simulation of very large models

· Variable structure simulation models

· Practical applications of agent and service based simulations

· Agent and service architectures, platforms, and frameworks.

 

Nevertheless different topics concerning Agent and Service based Modelling & Simulation are welcome. Authors are kindly invited to include in their papers and presentations all the research works, case studies and application both theoretical and applied.

 

Key Dates

Authors' Guidelines (further information author’s instruction section)

FIRST SUBMISSION

Extended abstracts (minimum 2 pages), full draft papers or other proposals should be submitted for the review process through the submission section by April 12, 2008.

The extended abstract or the full draft paper must contain title, authors, affiliations, addresses, main body and references.

Each extended abstract or full draft paper will be reviewed by at least two members of the International Program Committee taking into consideration scientific quality, originality and relevance. Only original papers, written in English will be accepted.

The extended abstract or the full draft paper should be prepared by following the final paper formatting. However any type of paper formatting can be accepted for the first submission.

 

NOTIFICATION OF ACCEPTANCE

Notification of acceptance will be sent by May 20, 2008.

 

CAMERA READY PAPER SUBMISSION

The International Program Committee will accept two types of camera ready papers: extended paper (10 pages, 2 columns); regular paper (6 pages, 2 columns) both for regular and special sessions.

The camera ready paper must adhere to the conference template. The .dot file contains the complete instructions for preparing a camera ready copy for the Proceedings. The final version of the paper must be a PDF file.

Your camera ready paper (extended paper or regular paper) in PDF format must be submitted by using the submission section before the 10^th of June 2008

The page limit for manuscripts is ten (10) pages (included  in the author registration fee). Additional pages will require an additional fee.

If your work must be cleared or approved before publication by  your institution, company, or governmental agency, please be sure that  process will be completed by the due date above or we will not be able to include it in the CD Conference Proceedings.
