Paris-Cargese Activity-based Modeling & Simulation (Paris - ACTIMS'2012)

Welcome to the home page of the Paris Activity-based Modeling & Simulation!

The workshop aims at defining new research directions for activity-based modeling and simulation by bringing together world experts from many disciplines.

The workshop will be held December, 1 (arrival) - December, 4 (departure) 2012 at Paris, France. The workshop takes the Dagstuhl and CAMPaM seminar formats – “bring a critical mass of top researchers together in a relatively remote location and soon new ideas will flow.”

activity

As for previous editions, specialists from many disciplines (Economics, Evolutionary cognitive sciences, Ecology, Game, Robotics, Industry, Parallel and distributed simulation, Computer engineering…) are invited to the seminar. Every specialist writes a position research article (4 pages) discussing the use of activity in his domain. Every paper should be ready before the seminar. Accommodation and lunch are offered to the participants. In addition, there will be no registration fee. Every article will be peer-reviewed by two other invited scientists. All position research articles aim at being developped and included in a journal special issue. For all meetings, travel and dinner expenses are not supported by the seminar organization. At the seminar, theory and application oriented workshops will be organized to compare and integrate contributions.

• November, 24: Full paper submission
• December, 1 - 4: Seminar

• January, 21: Sent to the publisher
