Objectives of the Workshop
=====================
Agent-Based Simulation Models are an increasingly popular tool for research
and
management in many fields such as ecology, economics, sociology, etc..
In some fields, such as social sciences, these models are seen as a
key instrument to the generative approach, essential for understanding
complex social
phenomena.
But also in policy-making, biology, military simulations, control of
mobile robots and economics, the relevance and effectiveness of Agent-Based
Simulation Models is recently recognized.
Computer science community has responded to the need for platforms
that can help the development and testing of new models in each specific
field by
providing tools, libraries and frameworks that speed up and make massive
simulations possible.The key objective of this Third Workshop on
Parallel and Distributed
Agent-Based Simulations is to bring together the researchers that are
interested
in getting more performances from their simulations, by using synchronized,
many-core
simulations (e.g., GPUs), strongly coupled, parallel simulations (e.g. MPI)
and
loosely coupled, distributed simulations (distributed heterogeneous
setting).
Several frameworks have been recently developed and are active in this
field.
They range from the GPU-Manycore approach, to Parallel, to Distributed
simulation environments. In the first category, you can find FLAME GPU, that
allows also non GPU specialists to harness the GPUs performance for real
time simulation and visualization. For tightly-coupled, large computing
clusters and supercomputers
a very popular framework is Repast for High Performance Computing
(REPAST-HPC),
a C++ based modeling system. On the distributed side, recent work on
Distributed Mason, allows non specialists to use heterogeneous hardware and
software in local area networks for enlarging the size and speeding up the
simulation of complex Agent-Based models.
Topics of interest
=============
- Frameworks for parallel/distributed ABSs.
- Case studies of ABSs in parallel/distributed settings, with an emphasis
on the technical implementation, architectural choices and their impact on
performances.
- Benchmark parallel/distributed ABSs.
- Open benchmark models contributing towards OpenAB initiative (
www.openab.org).
- Debugging parallel/distributed ABSs.
- Formal methods and algorithms for ABSs in parallel/distributed models.
- Load Balancing algorithms, techniques and frameworks.
- Management and deployment of parallel/distributed ABSs.
- Visualization of parallel/distributed ABSs.
Paper submission
==============
The papers will be presented in the regular format (10 pages LNCS format)
and will be reviewed, anonymously by at least 3 reviewers of the Program
Committee.
Acceptance will depend upon scientific value, originality and relevance to
the Workshop theme. Euro-Par Workshops Proceedings will be published by
Springer in the Lecture
Notes for Computer Science series after the Workshops. Submissions and
reviewing will be through EasyChair via https://europar2016.inria.fr.

CALL FOR PAPERS
[Scope]
Global warming and climate change have been a growing worldwide concern. Six sources, i.e., transportation, power, buildings, industry, agriculture and forestry, and land use, have been identified as major contributors to the rise of global carbon dioxide (CO2). The mobile industry is seen as a potential enabler to reduce greenhouse gases contributed by these six sources provided that appropriate measures are implemented. On the other hand, the mobile industry itself will also contribute to CO2 emission through network operations, mobile equipments, etc. To meet the requirement of low-carbon economy development, it is necessary to reduce the operation expenditure or energy consumption of mobile networks, while maintaining acceptable quality of service. This conference will explore and explain the scope and challenges of designing, building, and deploying GreeNets. In this regard, the conference aims to establish a forum to bring together research professionals from diverse f!
ields including green mobile networ
ks, system architectures, networking & communication protocols, applications, test-bed and prototype, traffic balance and energy-efficient cooperation transmission, system and application issues related to GreeNets.
[Topics]
The conference invites original technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Communications and Networking:
Communication techniques and protocols for GreeNets
Energy-efficient transmission technologies based on the cooperation communication
Scalable and flexible energy efficiency mobile network architectures, deployments, and applications
- Energy-efficient network architecture & protocols:

====================================================================================
GreeNets 2016 also seeks proposals for posters and live demonstrations describing novel work on green mobile networks, system architectures, networking and communication protocols, applications, test-bed and prototype, traffic balance and energy-efficient cooperation transmission, system and application issues related to GreeNets. Posters and demonstrations will be presented during a reception at the conference. The poster/demo session is meant to introduce new and ongoing work and provide opportunities for authors to interact directly with conference attendees. Posters sessions provide a forum for researchers to present their work in progress that can generate discussion or promising new ideas from experts. On the other hand, live demos session will offer a unique opportunity to showcase real prototypes, tools, and systems to the conference attendees.
The areas of interest for both poster and demo abstracts are the same as for full research papers.
[Demo/Poster submission]
- Demo and poster abstracts must not exceed 3 pages. Titles should start with "Poster: ..." or "Demo: ..." depending on the case. The page limits include figures, tables, and references. Submissions may not be anonymous.
- Please use the main GreeNets conference paper style (http://greenets.org/2016/show/authors-kit) and submission guidelines.
- Poster and demo abstracts will be reviewed by at least three members of the poster/demo committee to ensure quality and matching to the goals of the poster/demo session as well as to the conference?s topics. Accepted poster and demo abstracts will be included in the conference proceedings.
Demo and poster proposals should include the following:
- The purpose and goals of the work.
- Any background and motivation needed to understand the work.
- Any critical hypotheses and assumptions that underlie the work.
- A clear summary of the contribution and/or results, in sufficient detail for a (re)viewer to understand the work and its relevance. If the work is at an initial stage, it is especially important to state clearly the anticipated contributions and any early results towards them.
- The relationship to other related efforts, where appropriate. Authors of accepted posters may be asked to point out relationships to work represented by other accepted posters.
- Where to find additional information (a web site where viewers can go to find additional information about the work how to contact the authors, including email addresses citations for any papers, books, or other materials that provide additional information)
If selected, authors shall prepare a final, camera ready version of the extended abstract, taking into account all feedback from reviewers, and formatted according to the GreeNets conference.
[Presentation at the conference]
In addition to space given to every accepted abstract during the poster/demo session, one author of the abstract will be given a slot in a further "10-minute madness" session within the main program. In this session, authors will have the opportunity to describe their work to the entire conference audience with a single slide and a 10-minute speech.
