SUMMARY:Agent-Based Simulation – From Cognitive Modelling to Engineering Pr
 actice, Workshop at KI 2008
DESCRIPTION:Constructing and executing an agent-based model provides many a
 dvantages in comparison to traditional simulation approaches. Increased deg
 rees of freedom in model design, possibilities of modelling behaviour in re
 stricted, heterogeneous geographical and temporal context, etc. are only pa
 rtial aspects of its great potential. Thus with agent-based simulation, mea
 ns are available to actually test cognitive models of human decision making
  in an adequately rich, simulated environment. These efforts may finally re
 sult in detailed cognitive models that are grounded in reproducible, practi
 cal experience, in addition to abstract hypotheses and theories of  cogniti
 on.\n\nOn the other side, in the agent-based simulation community the need 
 for well-defined and reliable cognitive models is growing as complex human 
 behaviour has to be reproduced in real-world applications. Abstract models 
 based on rational optimization, and/or game-theoretic models are not suffic
 ient any more, if complex decision making in urban space has to be modelled
  for enhanced pedestrian simulations, or if complex dynamics of team work a
 re to be reproduced.\n\nThis workshop aims at bringing these two communitie
 s together, demonstrating the current state of art in both research directi
 ons. We intend to discuss questions such as\n\n 	Why does cognitive science
  need good engineering practice in agent-based simulation? 	Why do real-wor
 ld applications of agent-based models really need complex agent models? 	Ho
 w to solve the problem of missing adequate data for empirical validation of
  such complex agent models? 	How to determine whether a model is cognitivel
 y adequate or even "valid"? 	Can agent-based simulations offer a viable pat
 h from single-agent cognitive models to multi-agent cognitive models? \n\nW
 e therefore especially invite position papers on the above  mentioned quest
 ions for discussion at the workshop. We plan to allow for time slots of at 
 least 30 min per presentation to encourage discussion. As a contribution to
  the state of the art, we welcome papers describing completed research, wor
 k in progress reports as well as problem descriptions with respect to the f
 ollowing topics.\n\n 	Examples of agent-based models of human behavior in n
 eed of cognitive models 	Examples for cognitive theories that might be test
 able or usable for agent-based simulations 	Validation and evaluation issue
 s in cognitive modeling and agent-based simulation 	Implementation issues 	
 Methodological aspects of cognitive modeling and agent-based simulation 	Mo
 dels of human perception, reasoning and action 	Specific areas of applicati
 on such as strategies of spatial orientation and navigation
