> The workshop "Modelling Artificial Societies and Hybrid Organizations"
> is a one-day event that will be held at the occasion of ECAI-2000
> in Berlin, Germany. This workshop aims to present first results in the
> very new field of Socionics. It is concerned with the structure and
> behaviour of hybrid and artificial agent societies. Agent oriented
> approaches are to be used in the modelling of the distributed hybrid
> and artificial organizations as well as in the description self-organi-
> zation and emergence of social characteristics. The workshop shall
> bring together both researchers in DAI, related fields and Sociology.
>

> Introduction
>
> In developing agents and multi-agent systems computer scientists have
> used sociological terms like negotiation, interaction, contracts,
> agreement, organization, cohesion, social order, and collaboration.
> Meanwhile an interdisciplinary area called "Socionics" is in the
> beginning to establish itself. In the last years researchers in
> Artificial Intelligence, Sociology, Evolution Theory and Self-Organizing
> Principles have shown interest in answers to questions like:
>
> * What have human and artificial societies in common?
> * How do we deal with the offer of interaction with artificial agents
> and artificial multi-agent communities?
> * What can the DAI community do to get acceptance from "conventional"
> users?
> * What are the main difficulties in designing hybrid societies?
> * What are the effects of growing involvement of artificial societies
> in social life?
> * Where are the "walls" to handle artificial worlds?
> * How can we overcome the existing difficulties in using agent systems?
>
> The workshop will consider organizational models by exploiting agent
> technology for the simulation and evaluation of organizational
> behaviour. Specific aspects of organizational structures,
> for example, the different (sub)groups that can be distinguished within
> an organization, the different roles in a group, and interaction between
> roles, shall be investigated with respect to the involvement of
> artificial partners. An organizational structure provides coordination
> of the different individual actor and agent behaviours. An interesting
> relation is the relation between an organization structure
> specification, the dynamics of individual human and agents behaviour
> (behavioural specification), and the emerging dynamics for the community
> as a whole.
> The workshop aims to exchange ideas on different aspects of agent-
> oriented approaches in connection to organizational knowledge,
> structures and behaviour.
>
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
> Topics
>
> * modelling of artificial and hybrid organizations
> * agent behaviour in organizational structures
> * commitment, responsibility and obligations in artificial and hybrid
> societies
> * semantics of the dynamics of organizational models
> * requirements of agents in artificial and hybrid societies
> * organizational roles
> * adaptive organization models
> * simulation of artificial and hybrid societies
> * self organizing systems and emergent organization
> * applications
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
> Submission Procedure
>
> Those wishing to participate in the workshop should submit an original
> research paper of up to 10 pages maximum to the address below.
> Electronic submission in PostScript (Unix-compatible)is recommended,
