Workshop
on Emergent Behavior (WEB 07)
Lockheed
Martin Corporation
March 6-7, 2007
Bldg 5700, Room O304,
Emergent behavior is commonly known as behavior that is not attributed to any
individual system element, but is a global outcome of the system. This workshop is concerned with the
emergent behavior over Multi-agent Systems and Complex Networks. The workshop
brings together experts from multi-discipline with the goal of understanding
emergent behaviors in nature and man make environment. We especially intend to
increase the awareness of researchers of Oak
Ridge National Laboratory,
University of Tennessee and Lockheed
Martin Corporation
sharing the common view on combining Agent Based Modeling, Swarm Intelligence,
Intelligent Agent, Nano technology, Game Theory, Complex, Self-Organizing Systems and
several other front line technologies, to develop insight and
foster predictive methodologies in studying emergent behaviors. We are
specifically interested in developing a framework and methodology for the
analysis of emergent behavior in engineered systems. The workshop will feature
oral presentations over a two-day period addressing the questions and other
issues that are fundamental to understanding and realizing emergent behavior.
The presentations will cover a wide variety of topics relevant to the wide
research areas of emergent behavior.
