Call for Papers

The MASSIVE workshop invites submissions on Complex Systems Modeling and Simulation, with a focus on Multi-Agent Systems, Machine Learning, Agentic AI, Digital Twins, and Complex Networks. We seek contributions that advance both the foundations and applications of intelligent systems—ranging from theoretical models and formal methods to experimental studies and real-world deployments. We particularly encourage research that bridges the gap between theory and practice, such as new formalisms grounded in empirical evidence or applied systems informed by robust theoretical frameworks.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited, to the following:

• Agent-Based Modeling frameworks 

• Agentic AI and LLM-driven agents 

• Multi-agent coordination and planning

• Formal models and validation 

• Game theory

• Application of Machine Learning and Reinforcement Learning 

• Human-in-the-loop simulation 

• Digital Twins

• Swarm robotics and emergent behavior 

• Computational Social Science 

• Financial simulations 

• Blockchain and DeFi systems 

• Cybersecurity simulations 

• Logistics and industrial systems 

• Healthcare modeling 

• Crisis management systems 

Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for  LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.

The maximum length of the papers is 12 pages, including figures and references:

• Microsoft word format.

• LaTeX Format

• Overleaf template

Publication

Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion in the workshop proceedings, published within the Springer CCIS series, subject to meeting the publisher's quality standards.
