[forwarded] CFP: 'Higher Education' at ECIS 2000
by Gustaf Neumann 15 Oct '99

15 Oct '99

Forwarded message from [schaefer(a)WI-IM.UNI-KOELN.DE (=?iso-8859-1?Q?Stefan_Sch=E4fer?=)] sent originally on Fri, 15 Oct 1999 13:45:53 +0200: : CALL FOR PAPERS for the ECIS 2000 track : : 'HIGHER EDUCATION' : Higher Education in the Age of Globalisation & Multimedia-Systems and : Omnipresent Networks : : at : : 8th European Conference on Information Systems : Vienna, Austria, July 3-5, 2000 : : "A Cyberspace Odyssey: Trends in Information and : Communication Systems for the 21st Century" : http://ecis2000.wu-wien.ac.at : : PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: November 15, 1999 : : On behalf of the track chair Prof. Dr. Dietrich Seibt and the Programme : Committee I extend a warm invitation to you to submit papers to the track : 'Higher Education'. You have still 31 days to submit your paper! : : OBJECTIVES : ========== : The field of Higher Education is currently undergoing dramatic structural : changes, mostly driven by Information & Communication Technologies : (IC-Technologies), which are penetrating all kinds of learning and teaching : processes and additionally are altering and enhancing knowledge generation, : acquisition, aggregation and distribution / dissemination. These changes are : occurring on a global level and are likely to accelerate over the next few : years at high speed. : : Modern IC-Technology supplies us with the resources to design new or : reengineer existing systems and organisations for Higher Education, which : can generate and provide very flexible products, services and combinations : of products/services for a vast majority of individual education needs. No : doubt we will have to answer many open questions and solve a variety of : complex problems, until we will get the systems and organisations suitable : for the Higher Education of the future. To mention only a few: : * Challenges of content: What contents should be selected and : generated for what kind of education product/service?

by Gustaf Neumann 15 Oct '99

15 Oct '99

Forwarded message from [a2000pub(a)iiia.csic.es (Agents 2000 Publicity)] sent originally on Fri, 15 Oct 1999 10:21:48 +0200 (MET DST): : ********************************************************************* : This Call for Papers has been sent to several distribution lists. We : apologize if you receive multiple copies of it. : ********************************************************************* : : CALL FOR PAPERS *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** CALL FOR PAPERS : : The Fourth International Conference on : AUTONOMOUS AGENTS (Agents 2000) : : Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain : : Saturday June 3 - Wednesday June 7, 2000 : http://www.iiia.csic.es/agents2000 : (PDF version of this Call for papers at: : http://www.iiia.csic.es/agents2000/CFP.pdf) : : Autonomous agents are software and robotic entities that are capable : of independent action in open, unpredictable environments. Agents : are also one of the most important and exciting areas of research : and development in computer science today. Agents are currently : being applied in domains as diverse as computer games and : interactive cinema, information retrieval and filtering, user : interface design, electronic commerce, autonomous vehicles and : spacecraft, and industrial process control. The aim of the Agents : 2000 conference is to bring together researchers and developers from : industry and academia to report on the latest scientific and : technical advances, discuss and debate the major issues, and : showcase the latest systems. Agents 2000 will build on the enormous : success of its three predecessors, Agents'97 in Marina del Rey : (http://www.isi.edu/isd/AA97/info.html), Agents'98 in Minneapolis : (http://www.cis.udel.edu/agents98/), and Agents'99 in Seattle : (http://www.cs.washington.edu/research/agents99/). This will be the : first of the Autonomous Agent conferences to be held outside the : United States. : : The conference welcomes submissions of original, high quality papers : concerning autonomous agents in a variety of embodiments and playing : a variety of roles in their environments. The Agents 2000 : conference, like its predecessors, will focus primarily on systems : that have been or are being implemented; theory papers are welcome : provided that they clearly relate to such systems, for example by : helping us to predict their behavior, explain, or understand them. : The submission of pure theory papers is not encouraged: there are : other, more appropriate forums for such work. Papers that address : isolated agent capabilities (such as planning or learning) are : similarly discouraged, unless they are placed in the overall context : of autonomous agents. Evaluation of agents or multi-agent systems : will be considered a necessary component of each submission. : : In addition to technical presentations of papers, the conference : will include internationally known invited speakers, software and : robotic agent demonstrations, and an exhibits session. More : generally, the conference will strive towards an informal atmosphere : with plenty of time for presentations, questions, and discussions. : Accepted papers and posters will be formally published in Conference : Proceedings. A limited number of student scholarships will be : available. The conference will also include workshops and tutorials : that will take place June 3-4, 2000. : : CONFERENCE THEMES : : Technical issues to be addressed include, but are not restricted to: : : * action selection and planning : * adaptation and learning : * agent architectures : * agent-based software engineering : * agent communication languages : * artificial market systems and electronic commerce : * autonomous robots : * believability : * communication, collaboration, and interaction of humans and agents : * coordinating perception, thought, and action : * designing agent systems : * expert assistants : * evolution of agents : * human-like qualities of synthetic agents : * information agents : * instructability : * integration and coordination of multiple activities : * knowledge acquisition and management : * lessons learned from deployed agents : * lifelike qualities : * meta-modeling and meta-reasoning : * middle-agents (e.g., matchmakers, brokers, routers) : * mobile agents : * modeling the behavior of other agents : * models of emotion, motivation, or personality : * multi-agent teams : * multi-agent communication, coordination, and collaboration : * multi-agent simulation, verification, and validation : * network agents : * organization of agent societies : * privacy and agents : * real-time performance : * standards for agents : * synthetic agents : * system support for the implementation of agents : * user modeling : : PAPER SUBMISSION INFORMATION : : Paper submission is a 2 part process: : : 1. You must send in an electronic title page and abstract. This must : be done via the following WWW page: : : http://www.aaai.org/Conferences/AA2000ss/submit.html : : Full instructions are provided on this page.
