in conjunction with ANT-2013 conference
June 25-28, 2013, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

CALL FOR PAPERS

The 2nd International Workshop on Agent-based Mobility, Traffic and Transportation Models, Methodologies and Applications (ABMTRANS 2013) provides an international forum on the latest technologies and research in the field of traffic and transportation modeling using an agent-based approach. ABMTRANS 2013 is organized in the context of the European FP7 project DATASIM (http://www.datasim-fp7.eu/). ABMTRANS 2013 will be held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada (25-28 June 2013) in conjunction with The 4th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies (ANT-2013).

SCOPE

This workshop provides a multidisciplinary collaborative forum for researchers and practitioners to submit papers presenting new research results and novel ideas related to the theory or the practice of agent-based traffic and transportation modeling. This workshop also invites researchers to submit their work focusing on the data mining, management and configuration for agent-based traffic and transportation modeling.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

Agent-based modeling and simulation
Agent-human interactions
Environment modeling and interaction protocols
Data mining, learning and adaptation
Marketing decision support
Collaboration, cooperation, competition, coalitions in traffic and transportation models
Agent-based negotiation of QoS and SLAs in traffic and transportation models
Social and emergent behavior in MAS-T (multi-agent systems applied to traffic and transport)
Large scale simulation of agent-based microscopic traffic models
Calibration and validation of agent-based models for traffic and transportation
Role of multi-agent methodologies for complex systems
Conceptual modeling of agent-based approach
Agent-based freight transportation modeling
Multi-modal routing of agents in a dynamic traffic environment
Agent-based scheduling to establish synthetic agenda for day-to-day activities

SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS

All papers accepted for workshops will be included in the ANT-2013 proceedings, which will be published by Elsevier. The authors must follow Elsevier guidelines as given in ANT-2013 website (http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/ant-13/). The number of pages for workshop papers is limited to 6 pages. Authors should submit their contributions electronically in PDF format at: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=abmtrans2013

The submission processes will be managed by easychair.org. If you have used this system before, you can use the same username and password. If this is your first time using EasyChair, you will need to register for an account by clicking "I have no EasyChair account" button. Upon completion of registration, you will get a notification email from the system and you are ready for submitting your paper. You can upload and re-upload the paper to the system by the submission due date.

The selective outstanding papers presented at the workshops, after further revision, will be considered for publication in journals special issues. In case of any problem with submission, please contact the workshop chair for assistance.

All workshops accepted papers will be printed in the conference proceedings published by Elsevier Science in the open-access Procedia Computer Science series (on-line and CD). Procedia Computer Sciences is hosted on www.Elsevier.com and on Elsevier content platform ScienceDirect (http://www.sciencedirect.com), and will be freely available worldwide. All papers in Procedia will also be indexed by Scopus (http://www.scopus.com) and Engineering Village (Ei) (http://www.engineeringvillage.com). This includes EI Compendex (http://www.ei.org/compendex). All accepted papers will also be indexed in DBLP (http://dblp.uni-trier.de/).

The selective outstanding papers presented at the workshops, after further revision, will be considered for publication in journals special issues at ANT'13 and in IJFCST.
