The COINE workshop at AAMAS 2020 was held in Auckland, New Zealand. The International Workshop for Coordination, Organisations, Institutions, Norms and Ethics in Governance of Multi-Agent Systems (COINE) is an evolution of the long-standing COIN workshop series, and for the first time, considers ethics as an explicit
The 2019 edition of the Social Simulation Conference (SSC 2019) will be held in Mainz, Germany. It will include a range of special tracks centered around the theme of “Simulation for Policy”. I will be involved in chairing the Artificial Sociality Track together with Gert
We are currently looking for a PhD candidate for a 3-year or 4-year time frame. The focus of the fellowship is to explore approaches to automating policy analysis by bridging the gap between semi-formal policy specifications and agent-based models. The ideal candidate has a computational
A new version of the DBSCAN extension for the Agent-based Modelling platform NetLogo has been released. The extension can be used to cluster agents based on individual properties or by spatial proximity (e.g., to cluster agents by wealth levels, or by their location). Recent additions
