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

Welcome to the home page of the Cargese Activity-based Modeling & Simulation (Cargese - ACTIMS'2012)!

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 May, 28 (arrival) - June, 1 (departure) 2012 at Cargese, Corsica. 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.”

Topics

The goal is to automatically: detect, model and simulate spatial and/or temporal patterns activity (as a measure of event occurrences or state changes.) Every algorithm, definition… relies on the usual steps of the modeling and simulation cycle: (i) Observation, (ii) Modeling, (iii) Simulation, (iv) Validation, (i) Observation, etc.

Seminar Concept

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. A second meeting, which will include two important keynote speeches, is scheduled in November 12-14 in Paris. 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.
