Deadline for abstracts: March 15, 2002
Description:
The presentations at the CSM'2002 workshop are expected to cover
the following areas:
- Innovative methods and tools supporting the entire life-cycle of a model development, maintainance and analysis; including various modeling paradigms, techniques and tools, especially
those applicable for large and complex and/or not well structured
problems; multi criteria model analysis and other non-standard simulation and
optimization based methods and tools for a model analysis.
- Methodologies for modeling and analysis of complex systems, including issues of integration of models, multi-agent models,
methods and software for integrated assessment, subjective evaluation models, decision analysis models, catastrophic risk
management models.
- Applications of innovative methodologies to analysis of complex real-world problems for the needs of integrated assessment of
various policy options. Environmental, social, industrial and financial applications
are expected, including (but not limited to) policy measures for improving quality of environment, floods caused by climate change, social security reform,
insurance coverage of catastrophic events.
- Software tools supporting development of applications in the above mentioned areas.
Modeling life-cycle (listed above as a container of problems) includes the following phases of modeling: designing or adapting a model; developing and verifying the necessary data; preparing or adapting tools (solvers) for the model analysis; developing or adapting interfaces between the model and the solvers; verifying and validating the model and solvers; analyzing the model, typically in a loop composed of designing and generating of a scenario, solving the model and analyzing solution results; developing, reporting and explaining findings/conclusions/policy implications; documenting the model, data development procedures, and model analysis methods; maintaining, updating, and improving these items for the duration of the study; and, finally, terminating the study with proper attention to archives that invite as much reuse as possible.
The organizers encourage presentations of very recent results, especially innovative methods, tools and applications relevant for analysis of either global or universal problems for which standard methods and tools of operations research do not offer a satisfactory solution.
