+====== Entities and Relations for Agent-Based Modelling of Complex Spatial Systems ======
+|P. R. Andrade, A. M. V. Monteiro, G. Camara|
+//When two objects, qualities, classes, or attributes, viewed together by the mind, are seen under some connexion, that connexion is called a relation.// (Augustus De Morgan)

-The human being has always changed its environment. Changes result from complex

-social and economic iterations among its actors, which can vary across time and
-space, and exhibit “nonlinear dynamics with thresholds, reciprocal feedback loops,
-time lags, resilience, heterogeneity, and surprises” (LIU et al., 2007). Modelling these
-complex phenomena helps understanding its causes, how the complexity of the system
-emerges endogenously, and (hopefully) predicting future consequences of
-exogenous decisions such as external demands or even public policies.
-With the increase of technologies for acquiring and manipulating geospatial data,
-there is an increasing availability of spatial data at the individual level allows
-creating models with a high level of disaggregation.
-As the data is disaggregated,
-It can eliminate the modifiable areal unit problem by creating objects that operate in the
-lowest level of analysis. [Sengupta & Sieber]. Methodologies for acquisition of data, see
-[Robinson et al] for a survey in the area of LUC, which can be extended for other areas.

-agent-based modelling for supporting this heterogeneity.

-modelling dynamic processes such as ABM
-cannot be implemented within a GIS environment.
-GIS lacks this flexibility.
-lots of toolkits originally implemented for supporting ABM have been extended
-for supporting work with geospatial data, but it basically loads spatial data.
-this work goes deeply in the representation of the space and the agents,

-and the requisites for agent-based modelling with geospatial data.
+computational models and tools are
+employed to computationally study societies and their structures and
+processes. Specially
+Artificial Intelligence and Multiagent Systems models are relevant in
+such context.
+On the other hand, Social Simulation may operate as a source of
+inspiration for theories, models
+and techniques for AI and MAS, as it heavily draws on the diverse social
+sciences (anthropology,
+sociology, political science, economy, government, management, etc.).
-====The Four Relationships====
+This one-day workshop, co-located with SBIA 2008, aims to gather
-B&T shows that there are four relationships.
+researchers and students in AI,
+MAS and the various social sciences where Social Simulation has been put
+to work, in order to
+further the theoretical and practical issues concerning social
+simulation, and to leverage the area
+of Social Simulation in Brazil.
-The next sections show how each relationship can enhance the modelling.
+Topics of interest:
-Neighbourhoods and localizations.
+       - theoretical foundations of social simulation
+       - methods and models for social simulation
+       - AI and MAS tools, techniques, models and environments for social simulation
+       - applications of social simulation (in social research, government, management, education, etc.)
-====Localizations====
+Paper format:
-====Neighbourhoods====
+Papers should be written in English, with at most 12 pages, and
+submitted in PDF format, following the Springer LNCS style
+(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
+The submission system will be JEMS/SBC, with the site address to be
+announced soon.
+Submission of papers that wer previously presented in local
+(non-international,
+non-national) events is acceptable, if this fact is clearly stated in
+the paper.
+Important dates:
+  - deadline for paper submission: June 8, 2008 ==> June 15, 2008
+  - notification to authors: July 7, 2008 ==> July 15, 2008
+  - camera-ready copies of papers: July 28, 2008
