I had the same question. Now where is Norfolk, VA located? I take it VA is
an abbreviation for something?

> On behalf of the Agent-Directed Simulation (ADS) symposium organization
committee of the Society for Computer Simulation International (
http://www.scs.org ), we would like to invite you and/or your colleagues to
contribute and participate in ADS 2007. ADS 2007 is co-sponsored by SCS and
ACM.

> Objectives and Scope: Currently, there exist many agent conferences, as
well as agent-based (social) simulation conferences. However, there are not
many simulation conferences where agent and simulation technology are
together a central theme. It is therefore that the ADS symposium fills a gap
in the agent community, as well as the modeling and simulation community.

> The purpose of the ADS symposium is to facilitate dissemination of the
most recent advancements in the theory, methodology, application, and
toolkits of agent-directed simulation. Agent-directed simulation is
comprehensive in the integration of agent and simulation technology, by
including models that use agents to develop domain-specific simulations
(this is often referred to as agent-based simulation), and by also including
the use of agent technology to develop simulation techniques and toolkits
that are subsequently applied, either with or without agents. Hence,
agent-directed simulation consists of three distinct, yet related areas that
can be grouped under two categories as follows:

engineering, human and social dynamics, military applications etc.

> Agents for Simulation: agent-supported simulation deals with the use of
agents as a support facility to enable computer assistance in problem
solving or enhancing cognitive capabilities; agent-based simulation focuses
on the use of agents for the generation of model behavior in a simulation
study.
> Through the theme of agent-directed simulation, the symposium will bring
together agent technologies, tools, toolkits, platforms, languages,
methodologies, and applications in a pragmatic manner. In this symposium,
established researchers, educators, and students are encouraged to come
together and discuss the benefits of agent technology in their use and
application for simulation. It is a way for people to discuss why and how
they have used agent technology in their simulations, and describe the
benefit of having done so.

rapid rise of e-commerce are providing a new context that acts as a critical
driver for the development of next generation systems. These standards
revolve around service-oriented technologies, pervasive computing,
web-services, Grid, autonomic computing, ambient intelligence etc. The
supporting role that intelligent agents play in the development of such
systems is becoming pervasive, and simulation plays a critical role in the
analysis and design of such systems.

(e.g., coordination, negotiation, communication) and agent levels ( i.e.
reasoning, autonomy) are expected to advance the state of the art in various
application domains. However, modeling and testing complex agent systems
that are based on such technologies is difficult. Using agent-supported
simulation techniques for testing complex agent systems is up and coming
field.
>
> To facilitate bridging the gap between research and application, there is
a need for tools, agent programming languages, and methodologies to analyze,
design, and implement complex, non-trivial agent-based simulations. Existing
agent-based simulation tools are still not mature enough to enable
developing agents with varying degrees cognitive and reasoning capabilities.
> ADS 2007 will provide a leading forum to bring together researchers and
practitioners from diverse simulation societies within computer science,
social sciences, engineering, business, education, human factors, and
systems engineering. The involvement of various agent-directed simulation
groups will enable the cross-fertilization of ideas and development of new
perspectives by fostering novel advanced solutions, as well as enabling
technologies for agent-directed simulation.
