Special Sessions

Special sessions are very small and specialized events to be held during the conference as a set of oral and poster presentations that are highly specialized in some particular theme or consisting of the works of some particular international project.
The goal of special sessions (minimum 4 papers; maximum 9) is to provide a focused discussion on innovative topics. Each prospective organizer is invited to submit a proposal explaining the targeted topic's novelty/importance and listing the contributing authors and their contributions.

All accepted papers will be published in a special section of the conference proceedings book, under an ISBN reference, and on CD-ROM support.
All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/).
SCITEPRESS is member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/).
All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library.
A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in a CCIS Series book.
The proceedings are submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP and EI (Elsevier Index).

If you wish to propose a new Special Session please kindly send to the secretariat an Expression of Interest in order to obtain further information about how to submit a formal proposal. We will be happy to send you appropriate guidelines.

Scope

Agent Based Modeling and Simulation (ABM) is a computationally demanding technique having its origins in discrete event simulation, genetic algorithms and cellular automata. It is a powerful technique for simulating dynamic complex systems and observing “emergent” behavior. Common uses of ABMs include applications in social simulation and optimization problems, such as crowd behavior, urban simulation, traffic flow and supply chains.
Recently there is increasing interest in Social Networks and Agent Based Simulation. This approach has been successfully applied to the study of organizational behavior, formation of strategic alliances between firms, diffusion of information, and virtual enterprises. Simulation enables tackling the complexity of social relationships and all the patterns of activity that emerge from agents interaction.
