Authors wishing to present a paper in the special ACE session(s) at
CEF'2001 are invited to submit an extended abstract (3-4 pages) or copy of
their paper via the conference Web site at
https://gemini.econ.yale.edu/conference/SCE2001/.
The conference Web site will begin accepting submissions on January 1,
2001, and will continue to accept submissions through March 1, 2001. The
plan is to have a menu at this conference Web site that will permit those
submitting abstracts/papers to indicate which conference program member
should consider the submission. If you are interested in having your
submission considered for the ACE special session(s), please indicate Leigh
Tesfatsion as the appropriate program committee member to consider your
submission. The title page of each submission should give a complete mailing
address for each coauthor (surface mail address, email address, telephone
number(s), and FAX number).
Each submission for the CEF'2001 ACE special session(s) should
address a clearly defined issue of economic interest from an agent-based
perspective. Possible topics include (but are not limited to):
- Building ACE worlds:
Software availability, framework design, graphical tools,...
- Agent representation: Evolvability, learning
level/plasticity, implementation issues,...
- Applications: Oligopolistic
rivalry, electric power markets, labor markets, e-commerce, policy
scenario studies,...
- Experimental design and data analysis:
Design of experiments, data collection and reporting, statistical
tools, testing and validation of hypotheses, robustness,
replicability,...
- ACE Educational tools: Principles teaching,
course software, course organizational aids,... .
If computational experiments are reported, the design for
these experiments should be carefully laid out and explained and a
statistical analysis of the findings should be given along with an
economic interpretation. If at all possible, the software used to generate
the experimental findings should be available either on a freely accessible
Web site, by request from the author(s), or by other means in order to permit
replication of the findings by other researchers. It is understood that
proprietary restrictions may prevent the full release of source code.
