Agent-based modeling is a vital technique for studying Complex Adaptive
Systems (CAS) as evidenced by the growing body of literature spanning
disciplines ranging from Biology to the Social Sciences to Computer Science.
This inaugural special issue of Springer Complex Adaptive Systems Modeling
(CASM) will publish key papers documenting multidisciplinary methods and
applications for agent-based modeling of CAS. Agent-based modeling has
become essential for the study of CAS. Many documented techniques and proven
applications have emerged. This inaugural Special Issue will help
consolidate these diverse ideas in a single volume and also help to
introduce CASM to relevant communities. This Special Issue is reserved for
detailed papers documenting successful agent-based modeling methodologies
and application case studies in areas including, but not limited to, the
following: 

-	Life sciences such as Ecology , Biology, Biochemistry, Cancer, and
Epidemiology 
-	Social sciences 
-	Reconfigurable energy 
-	Economics 
-	Communication networks and environments including large-scale
wireless sensor networks, peer-to-peer networks, the Internet of Things,
Cloud computing and (use of agent-based modeling for simulating) Multi-agent
systems 
-	Verification, validation, and accreditation of agent-based models 
-	Methods for development and analysis of agent-based models 

Submission Instructions: 
Before submission authors should carefully read over the Instructions for
Authors, which are located at casmodeling.com/authors/instructions.
Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete
manuscript through the SpringerOpen submission system at
casmodeling.com/manuscript according to the submission schedule. They should
specify the manuscript as a submission to the "Special Issue on
Multidisciplinary Applications and Methods for Agent-based Modeling" in the
cover letter. All submissions will undergo initial screening by the Guest
Editors for fit to the theme of the Special Issue and prospects for
successfully negotiating the review process.

Complex Network methods for Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) have a widespread
prevalence across literature spanning several disciplines from Biology and
Social Sciences to Communication Networks. These  network models are
primarily developed using interaction data of various components or agents
in a CAS.  Subsequently analysis of these networks is performed using
various network tools. This inaugural special issue of Springer Complex
Adaptive Systems Modeling (CASM) comprises of papers in the domain of
complex  networks modeling, simulation, visualization and analysis. Complex
Network methods have a widespread prevalence across literature spanning
several disciplines.   This special issue will help consolidate these ideas
in a single volume. The topics for this special issue will include, but are
not limited to:
-  Modeling, Simulation and Visualization of Complex Networks
-  Complex Network Analysis
-  Social Network Analysis
- Biological Networks
- Ecological Networks
- Citation Networks
- Complex Network Methods in Complex Adaptive Communication Networks &
Environments  (CACOONS) such as large-scale Wireless Sensor Networks, P2P
networks, Internet of Things, Cloud  Computing, Multiagent Systems etc. -
Use of Agent-based Modeling in Complex Networks
- Application case studies
