There are many applications of agent based technology in the mathematical, physical, biological and social science research communities. Multi-agent systems are very complex applications to program, implement and optimise for large populations of agents. The optimisation of agent interactions and the management of initial data and outputs for large scale simulations are but two areas that need research and development efforts.

There are clearly many areas within agent based methods that might benefit from such activity: serial and parallel implementation of agent based applications, verification and validation of agent based models, standards for the exchange of agent based models to name but a few.

We invite you to participate in a workshop to consider future research directions in agent based modelling. To find out more please see the Web site:

We look forward to seeing you in Leeds,

Sincerely,
Rob Allan, Paul Richmond and Chris Greenough.
