CfP: ANT 2018 and ABM TRANS Conference 2018
CALL FOR PAPERS : ANT-2018(MSTS) and ABMTRANS-2018
The 7th International Workshop on Agent-based Mobility, Traffic and Transportation Models, Methodologies and Applications (ABMTRANS-2018)
http://www.abmtrans.eu/ | http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/ant-18/#workshop_approved
in conjunction with The 9th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies (ANT-2018)
May 08-11, 2018 | Porto, Portugal | http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/ant-18/
The ANT-2018 conference dedicates the MSTS track to Modeling and Simulation in Transportation Sciences while the ABMTRANS-2018 workshop focuses on the agent-based approach in that domain. Both provide an international forum on the latest technologies and research
SCOPE
The aim of the ANT-2018 MSTS track is to bring together communities interested in the computation, knowledge discovery and technology policy aspects of transportation systems. The organizers of ANT-2018 (MSTS track) welcome information technology application paper
The ABMTRANS workshop provides a multidisciplinary collaborative forum for researchers and practitioners to submit papers presenting new research results and novel ideas related to the theory or the practice of agent-based traffic and transportation modeling. This
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Agent-based transportation modeling and simulation
- Agent-based negotiation of QoS and SLAs in traffic and transportation models
- Agent-based and activity-based scheduling to establish synthetic agenda for day-to-day activities (travel demand prediction)
- Calibration and validation of (agent-based) models for traffic and transportation
- Collaboration, cooperation, competition, coalitions in traffic and transportation models, including collaborative multi-modal transport
- Conceptual modeling of agent-based approach
- Data mining and statistical learning for travel information
- Environment modeling and interaction protocols
- Human-computer interfaces in intelligent transportation applications
- Human factors including adaptive driving, travel behavior, pervasive technology
- Large scale simulation of agent-based microscopic traffic models
- Logistics and transportation management
- Marketing decision support
- Mathematical optimization in traffic engineering and smart city topic
- Multi-modal routing of agents in a dynamic traffic environment
- Novel applications targeted to health, mobility, livable environment and sustainability
- Renewable energy sources in transportation
- Role of multi-agent methodologies for complex systems
- Simulation of traffic, passenger flows, assisted driving or collaborative transport
- Social and emergent behavior in MAS-T (multi-agent systems applied to traffic and transport)
- Social and institutional information related to travel
- Traffic flow and transportation modeling
- Travel information, including recommender systems and user feedback systems
- Uncertain information in collaborative transport and assisted traveling
