The National Academy of Sciences colloquium on Adaptive Agents, Intelligence and Emergent Human Organization: Capturing Complexity Through Agent-Based Modeling is an opportunity to organize a network of researchers working in the area of agent-based modeling. The intent is to develop a platform whereby ongoing research and funding opportunities may be discussed. There will be five panels offered October 5th - October 6th, 2001. The panels are:

• Implications of Agent-Based Modeling for Understanding Human Rationality and Learning
• Cooperation and Competition as Factors in Emergent Human Organization
• Economic Agents and Markets as Emergent Phenomena
• Agent-Based Modeling as Organizational and Public Policy Flight Simulators
• Platforms and Methodologies for Enhancing the Social Sciences through Agent-based Simulation
  

Attendance at the colloquium is limited to 250 registered attendees. A registration fee of $200 is required. To obtain registration materials, please contact Euel Elliot eelliott@utdallas.edu or Doug Kiel dkiel@utdallas.edu.
