*First International Workshop on Agent-based Modeling and Simulation of
Cities (AgentCities14)*
In conjunction with the 5th International Conference on
Ambient Systems, Networks, and Technologies ANT2014 (Hasselt, Belgium)
June 2-5, 2014

*Description*
The modeling of the dynamics of the cities and their population is of
great theoretical and practical interest. In the past two-decade
research from a broad range of fields such as computer graphics,
physics, robotics, energy, social science, safety science and training
systems has created simulations involving collections of elements
(individuals or devices) immersed in cities. Many works have been
devoted to the study of collective behaviors and their inherent emergent
properties such as spontaneous organizations of pedestrians into lines,
oscillations at gates, etc. Among all the existing approaches in
simulation, those offering the highest level of realism in behavior are
microscopic approaches because they explicitly attempt to model the
features that take part in the expression of specific behaviors of
individuals. Agent-Based Simulations (ABS) are one of the approaches to
support micro-simulation. ABS principle relies upon a set of autonomous
agents, which encapsulate the behaviors of individual entities
(pedestrians, vehicles, devices...) Agent-based modeling allows complex
behaviors of various interacting entities to emerge from a set of
simpler behaviors. Phenomena such as flocks of birds, schools of fish and
crowds are good examples of how systems with simple goals can exhibit
emergent behaviors as the result of the interactions between the
individuals. Moreover, in contrast to other micro-simulation techniques,
ABS allows to catch the variety of behaviors composing a real system
easily. ABS has proven
to be well suited for the simulation of situations where there is a
large number of heterogeneous individuals who may behave somewhat
differently. However, as soon as we consider a micro-simulation of
several agents and their relationships, the complexity of the system and
associated computational costs increase. We are therefore faced a
dilemma common in the field of simulation: to manage a compromise
between performance and accuracy.
The goal of AgentCities is to provides a place where the different
points of view on the modeling and the simulation of the city's dynamics
may be discussed. A particular focus is made on agent-based models. The
accepted application domains are various, from crowds, to smart grid,
include transport and traffic
models.
AgentCities14 will be held in Hasselt, Belgium (2-5 June 2014) in
conjunction with the 5th International Conference on Ambient Systems,
Networks, and Technologies (ANT 2014).
