Note publique d'information : Fifteen papers were presented at the first workshop on Multi-Agent Systems and Agent-Based
Simulation held as part of the Agents World conference in Paris, July 4-- 6, 1998.
The workshop was designed to bring together two developing communities: the multi-agent
systems researchers who were the core participants at Agents World, and social scientists
interested in using MAS as a research tool. Most of the social sciences were represented,
with contributions touching on sociology, management science, economics, psychology,
environmental science, ecology, and linguistics. The workshop was organised in association
with SimSoc, an informal group of social scientists who have arranged an irregular
series of influential workshops on using simulation in the social sciences beginning
in 1992. While the papers were quite heterogeneous in substantive domain and in their
disciplinary origins, there were several themes which recurred during the workshop.
One of these was considered in more depth in a round table discussion led by Jim Doran
at the end of the workshop on 'Representing cognition for social simulation', which
addressed the issue of whether and how cognition should be modelled. Quite divergent
views were expressed, with some participants denying that individual cognition needed
to be modelled at all, and others arguing that cognition must be at the centre of
social simulation.
