-====== TerraME-ABM ======
+====== Entities and Relations for Agent-Based Modelling of Complex Spatial Systems ======
 |P. R. Andrade, A. M. V. Monteiro, G. Camara|
-====Introduction====
+//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
-endogenously emerges, and (hopefully) predicting future consequences of
-exogenous decisions such as external demands or even public policies.
-Natural resources are spatially located. People are spatially located.
+===== Call for Papers =====
-With the development of technologies for acquiring and manipulating geospatial data,
-it is now possible to work with models at the individual level.
-Different methodologies are available
-[Robinson et al] for a survey in the area of LUC, which can be extended for other areas.
-It allows building up models with a high level of disaggregation,
-which can eliminate the modifiable areal unit problem [Sengupta & Sieber].
-Methodologies for acquisition of data,
-spatial data and Heterogeneity.
-Agent-based modelling comes as an approach for carrying out this heterogeneity.
+BWSS-2008: 1st. Brazilian Workshop on Social Simulation Workshop
-Traditional approaches such as mathematical modelling cannot fully manipulate
+co-located with SBIA 2008
-this kind of data.
+(Brazilian Symposium on Artificial Intelligence) Bahia Othon Palace
-ABM has been used in different areas of knowledge.
+Hotel Salvador, Bahia, October
+-30, 2008 (precise date yet to be defined)
-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,
+Social Simulation is the scientific enterprise through which
-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.
-Newest software frameworks have made ABM easy enough to be attractive to areas
+On the other hand, Social Simulation may operate as a source of
-such as economics, sociology, anthropology, physics and biology. The use of simulation
+inspiration for theories, models
-frameworks relieves the modeller of programming the parts of the simulation
+and techniques for AI and MAS, as it heavily draws on the diverse social
-that are not content-specific, such as simulation control and data structures (TOBIAS;
+sciences (anthropology,
-HOFMANN, 2004). It also increases the reliability and efficiency of the model, as
+sociology, political science, economy, government, management, etc.).
-the most complex parts have been created and optimised by professional developers.
-====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
+  - workshop date: co-located with SBIA, October 26-30, 2008 (day yet to be announced)
