ABMUS2020: The 4th International Workshop on Agent-Based Modelling of Urban Systems Auckland, New Zealand, May 6-13, 2020 |
Conference website | http://www.modelling-urban-systems.com/abmus2020 |

Abstract registration deadline | February 23, 2020 |
Submission deadline | February 23, 2020 |
ABMUS offers a workshop where urban and geo-spatial models appear in one concentrated session. The workshop showcases state-of-the-art applications of agent technology, showing other AAMAS participants this exciting application domain, while also offering a setting for focused discussion around common themes associated with urban system modelling and community building among researchers.
We invite submissions from researchers and practitioners who use agent-based models and agent systems to understand, explore, and manage cities and urban infrastructure systems. The overarching theme for 2020 is multi-level modelling.
Submission Guidelines
If accepted, each presenter will be given a short time slot (max 10 minutes) to introduce their paper and/or case study, followed by 5-10 minutes in which presenters will share their views on the multi-level modelling theme. After three presentations there will be 20-30 minutes of discussion in which presenters will act as panel members in direct discussion with the ABMUS audience.
Papers should be submitted as an extended abstract through the workshop website (http://www.modelling-urban-systems.com/abmus2020) by the submission deadline of 23 February 2020. Your abstract should include a Title as well as all authors and affiliations. It should articulate the objectives of the paper and provide a brief but thorough description of the research related to the theme of the workshop and the expected gain by those attending the presentation. The abstract should be between 2 and 4 pages and should include a maximum of 2 figures.
