In times of falling stock markets and not very promising bond
markets, investors are looking for alternatives. Hedge Funds
promise stable and attractive returns both during rising as well
as falling marketsbut come with the disadvantage that they are
frequently a black box for investors.The internationally
recognized speakers at our symposium will shed some light on
this hot topic from an academic as well as a practitioner's
point of view.

PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS

| Artificial Economics'2005 |
+-----------------------------+
Symposium in Agent-based Computational Methods
in Finance, Game Theory and their applications
Lille, September 15--16, 2005
http://cisco.univ-lille1.fr/ae2005
*******************************************************
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTEXT
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agent-based Computational Economics (ACE) deals with the computational
study of economies as complex adaptive systems implying interacting
agents with cognitive skills. This area has provoked, in various
fields of Economics, a great deal of academic interest, in relation
with the Complex System approaches.
One of the first use of agent based models has been popularized by
Axelrod in his theory of evolution of cooperation. In this early work
he used extensively computational simulations and methods in order to
study strategic behaviour in the iterated prisoner's dilemma. This
work is still influencing many researches in various scientific
fields. It has for instance been the foundations of a new approach of
the game theory based on computational ideas.
In the mid eighties, under the impulsion of the Santa-Fe Institute,
and especially Christopher Langton, a new field of research, called
Artificial Life (AL), has emerged. The idea of AL was to mimic real
life under its various aspects to understand the basic principles of
life. This has lead to encompass wider ideas such as complexity,
evolution, auto-organisation and emergence. All concepts induced by
those approaches have influenced social scientists among others.
Following those initial attempts to mix computational approaches and
social sciences, for instance among the pioneering works using ACE in
finance, one can refer to the Artificial Stock Market by Palmer,
Arthur, Holland, LeBaron, and Taylor. This model, based on bounded
rationality and inductive reasoning, is one of the first allowing
correct simulations of real world stock market dynamics. This work has
been done by people coming from various scientific fields (Economics,
Game Theory, Computer Science and Finance).
Recently, another growing field appeared, dealing with the study of
the formation and the dynamics of social networks. To understand the
spread of information as well as the social beliefs one has to
consider the underlying social networks that can have different
effects on those processes. This special topic is another where
physicists, computer scientists and economists join their efforts to
explore the idea that economic activity is embedded in social
structure.
All thoses approaches intensively use computer simulation as well as
artificial intelligence concepts mostly based on multi-agents
systems. In this context, the most used models come from game theory.
Therefore, Agent-based Computational Economics is more and more an
important methodology in many Social-Sciences (the Management
Sciences, Sociology, Economics, Conflicts Resolution, etc). It becomes
now widely used to test theoretical models or to investigate their
properties when analytical solutions are not possible.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
AIMS AND SCOPES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The main aims of the event are to:
* present computer-science based multi-agent methodologies and tools
with their applications to social-scientists (mainly people from
economics and the management sciences)
* present uses and needs of multi-agent based models and their
constraints, as used by those social scientists, to computer
scientists
* favor the meeting of people and ideas of those two communities in
order to be able to construct a much structured multi-disciplinary
approach.
For its first edition, the Symposium will thus present recent
scientific advances in the fields of ACE but is also widely open to
methodological surveys. Topics include but are not limited to the
following:
* Computational Game Theory (Non-Cooperative, Cooperative,
Evolutionary, Pure coordination Games...)
* Discrete choice models in Economics and the Management Sciences
* Emergence and dynamics of Norms and Conventions
* Financial Market and Organization Models (Stock prices dynamics,
Herding in Financial Markets)
* Epistemology and Agent-based Methodological issues
* Dynamics of social and economic networks
----------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT DATES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* March 1st, 2005 : Submission of papers
* April 8th, 2005 : Notification of acceptance
* June 1st, 2005 : Final paper due
* September 15-16, 2005 : AE'2005
The symposium will last two days and will take place in Lille, which
is very well connected to most major european cities. It will offer
presentations of papers selected by the program committee as well as
special invited keynote sessions. Exchanges and discussions will have
a large space in the final program.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
PAPER SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS
and original works, has to be sent by electronic mail and in acrobat
(.pdf) format to the following email address:
ae2005(a)univ-lille1.fr
Short versions of the paper must be 5 pages long. Further details and
authors guideline will also be available from the main website at
http://cisco.univ-lille1.fr/ae2005
All accepted papers will be published in proceedings of the symposium
which will have an ISBN. After the event we plan to publish a special
issue of a journal presenting some selected papers, which may have
been modified after remarks and discussions done during the
conference.
