[forwarded] Call for Contributions: RoboCup Rescue, Pre-Conference Workshop at ICMAS 2000
by Gustaf Neumann 22 Dec '99

22 Dec '99

Forwarded message from [burt(a)dfki.de (Alastair Burt)] sent originally on Tue, 21 Dec 1999 17:47:54 +0100 (MET): : Call for Contributions : RoboCup Rescue: Multi-Agent Approaches to the Simulation and Management of : Major Urban Disasters : Pre-Conference Workshop of ICMAS 2000, Boston -- July 8, 2000 : : : http://www.dfki.de/~burt/rcrescue : : RoboCup Rescue builds on the success of RoboCup Soccer, which : furthered multi-agent research by allowing teams of real and simulated : robots to compete within a fixed set of rules. The important : differences between the soccer and rescue domain are that the rescue : domain addresses a problem of major concern for society, namely the : simulation of a large-scale urban disaster and the rescue operation : that ensues. The real-world nature makes it far more open, distributed : and complex than the soccer domain and the research issues are : correspondingly broader. Whilst the initial stages of the RoboCup : Rescue initiative are concerned with building a simulation environment : chiefly for research and competition, the eventual goal is to support : disaster management before and after a major catastrophe. : : The characteristics of the RoboCup disaster simulation are the : following: : * International Cooperative Research and Contest: in the spirit of : RoboCup Soccer and the current trend towards cooperative, open : source software development, the research will be carried out : around the world with the possibility to plug in different agent : and physical modelling algorithms into the simulator. : * Large-Scale Heterogeneous Agent System: the agents being modelled : represent a wide variety of rescue personnel, robots and software : agents. For a major city, their number should run into thousands. : This means a major shift in research to model problems of such : real-world scale. : * Comprehensive Disaster Simulator by Distributed Computation: the : prediction of damage, such as the spread of fire and the collapse : of buildings and highways, will need the integration of several : physical models and the computational power that can only be : achieved by a network of computers in an open, fault-tolerant : architecture. : * Complex Mission Planning: the planning problem here is far more : difficult than that of RoboCup Soccer, or indeed most AI : application domains. Time for decision-making is limited, : conditions change rapidly, and there is much uncertainty about the : state of the world and the effect of actions. Moreover, the agents : are heterogeneous in nature and there are many decision-making : agents whose planning has to be integrated and coordinated. : * Integration with the Real-World Disaster: as well as a vehicle for : training and planning for future emergencies, it is also envisaged : that the RoboCup Rescue technology will play a key role in helping : the rescue services cope with an actual disaster. This will need : the development of technology to interface the simulator to : sensors, human rescuers and teams of robots on the ground. : Providing the most appropriate augmented reality infrastructure : will be a major research challenge. : : The major multi-agent research areas that are relevant to this agenda : include the following: : * Scalable Agent Systems : * Agents in Distributed Virtual Reality : * Distributed Decision-Support : * Augmented Reality : * Real-Time Multi-Agent Decision Making : * Planning under Uncertainty : * Planning under Resource Constraints : * Behaviour Monitoring : * Agents and Simulation Platforms : * Information Acquisition Strategies : * Integration of Reactive and Deliberative Planning : * Dynamic Coalition and Cooperation Strategies : * Modelling Uncertain Dynamic Multi-agent Domains : : Submissions are welcomed that address the above and related areas : which could contribute to the development of the RoboCup Rescue : initiative. Particularly welcome are papers of an interdisciplinary : flavour which could help to establish a new field of intelligent : rescue science. : : There will be three components to the workshop: : 1. : The presentation of papers, either from invited speakers or : from those who have submitted technical papers for review. : 2. : Panel discussions. : 3. : Demonstrations of multi-agent systems and simulation toolkits : that have a clear relevance to the RoboCup Rescue vision. : : Submission format : : Those interested in attending the workshop should submit an abstract : of the work they would like to present. There will be three ways for : people to make a contribution: : 1. : Technical papers - abstract of not more than 1500 words, then a : full paper of not more then 5000 words. : 2. : Position papers - not more than 1500 words. : 3. : Demos - a description in not more than 1500 words, including a : list of hardware requirements. : : We will review the abstracts before asking the authors of technical : papers to produce the full version. Depending on the quality and : nature of the contributions, we intend to publish the full technical : papers in a series such as Springer LNAI (or similar) in a form that : will serve an introduction to RoboCup Rescue and the nascent field of : intelligent disaster mitigation. : : Electronic mail is the preferred means of submission. The abstracts : may be in ASCII, HTML, Postscript or Portable Document Format. The : full technical papers should be in Postscript or Portable Document : Format using a style suitable for book publication. : : Electronic Address : : rcrescue(a)dfki.de : : Postal Address : : Alastair Burt : DFKI GmbH : Stuhlsatzenhausweg 3 : 66123 Saarbrücken : Germany : : Important Dates : : Deadline for Submission of Abstracts: March 10, 2000 : Notification of Acceptance: March 27, 2000 : Submission of Full Paper: May 12, 2000 : Workshop Date: July 8, 2000 : : Workshop Co-chairs : : Hiroaki Kitano Sony Computer Science Laboratories, Japan : Satoshi Tadokoro Kobe University, Japan : Klaus Fischer DFKI GmbH, Germany : Alastair Burt DFKI GmbH, Germany : : Program Committee : : Michael Beetz University of Bonn, Germany : Hans-Dieter Burkhard Humboldt University, Germany : Silvia Coradeschi Linköping University, Sweden : Eugenio Costa Oliveira Porto University, Portugal : Thomas Christaller GMD, Germany : Gerhard Kraetzschmar Ulm University, Germany : Bernhard Nebel Freiburg University, Germany : Michael Luck Warwick University, UK : Luc Steels Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium : Tomoichi Takahashi Chubu University, Japan : Manuela Veloso Carnegie Mellon University, USA -- Wirtschaftsinformatik, FB5, Universitaet GH Essen Gustaf.Neumann(a)uni-essen.de, neumann(a)computer.org http://nestroy.wi-inf.uni-essen.de/Neumann.html

Forwarded message from [simeon(a)ARCH.USYD.EDU.AU (Simeon Simoff)] sent originally on Fri, 17 Dec 1999 13:50:46 +1100: : Dear ISWorld Subscribers, : : Below is the call for papers for the International Conference on CULTURAL : ATTITUDES TOWARDS TECHNOLOGY AND COMMUNICATION (CATaC'00). I'm sending this : information on the behalf of Fay Sudweeks, who is currently out of Perth. : Please, send any specific requests related to the conference to : catac(a)it.murdoch.edu.au : : Happy Holidays : : Simeon J. Simoff : University of Sydney : : ---------------------------------------- 8< ------------------------------ : CALL FOR PAPERS : International Conference on : CULTURAL ATTITUDES TOWARDS TECHNOLOGY : AND COMMUNICATION (CATaC'00) : : Conference Theme: : Cultural Collisions and Creative Interferences in the Global Village : : 12-15 July 2000, Perth, Australia : http://www.it.murdoch.edu.au/~sudweeks/catac00/ : http://www.drury.edu/faculty/ess/catac00 : : Computer-mediated communication networks, such as the Internet and the : World Wide Web, promise to realise the utopian vision of an electronic : global village. But efforts to diffuse CMC technologies globally, especially : in Asia and among indigenous peoples in Africa, Australia and the United : States, have demonstrated that CMC technologies are neither culturally : neutral nor communicatively transparent. Rather, diverse cultural attitudes : towards technology and communication - those embedded in current CMC : technologies, and those shaping the beliefs and behaviours of potential : users - often collide. : : This biennial conference series aims to provide an international forum for : the presentation and discussion of cutting-edge research on how diverse : cultural attitudes shape the implementation and use of information and : communication technologies. The first conference in the series was held in : London in 1998. For an overview of the themes and presentations of : CATaC'98 and links to the papers, see : http://www.it.murdoch.edu.au/~sudweeks/catac98/01_ess.html. : : Original full papers (especially those which connect theoretical frameworks : with specific examples of cultural values, practices, etc.) and short papers : (e.g. describing current research projects and preliminary results) are : invited. Papers should articulate the connections between specific cultural : values as well as current and/or possible future communicative practices : involving information and communication technologies. We seek papers which, : taken together, will help readers, researchers, and practitioners of : computer-mediated communication - especially in the service of "electronic : democracy" - better understand the role of diverse cultural attitudes as : hindering and/or furthering the implementation of global computer : communications systems. : : Topics of particular interested include but are not limited to: : : - Communicative attitudes and practices in diverse industrialised countries. : - Communicative attitudes and practices in industrialising countries and : marginalised communities. : - Impact of new communication technologies on local and indigenous languages : and cultures. : - Politics of the electronic global village in democratising or preserving : hierarchy. : - East/West cultural attitudes and communicative practices. : - Role of gender in cultural expectations regarding appropriate : communicative behaviours. : - Ethical issues related to new technologies, and their impact on culture : and communication behaviours. : - Legal implications of communication and technology. : : SUBMISSION : : All submissions will be peer reviewed by an international panel of scholars : and researchers. There will be the opportunity for selected papers to appear : in special issues of journals and a book. CATaC'98 papers, for example, : appeared in the Electronic Journal of Communication/La Revue Electronique de : Communication (Vol.8, Nos.3-4, 1998) and will appear in the AI and Society : Journal and Javnost (Journal of the European Institute for Communication and : Culture. : : Initial submissions are to be emailed to catac(a)it.murdoch.edu.au as an : attachment (Word, HTML, PDF). Submission of a paper implies that it has not : been submitted or published elsewhere. At least one author of each accepted : paper is expected to present the paper at the conference. : : Important Dates: : * Full papers 14 February 2000 : * Short papers 28 February 2000 : * Notification of acceptance 27 March 2000 : * Final formatted papers 17 April 2000 : : PROGRAM : : Highlights of the conference program include: : - discussion forums following technical sessions to focus on research : objectives : and progress : - public lecture : - public panels with panelists drawn from conference participants : - reception in an art gallery featuring a didgeridoo player : - conference dinner at a winery : - pre-conference tour and post-conference safari : For more information, see the conference web site. : : SUBSIDIES : : Funding is being sought by the Committee to partially subsidise travel : expenses for students and scholars from developing countries.

Middleware like : JINI and CORBA can offer portability and interoperability through : their platform independent programming models. However, the rapid : deployment of applications of this technology has created a demand : for dynamically configurable middleware to accommodate rapidly : changing execution requirements. The reflective middleware platforms : that are emerging offer a general solution to agile reconfiguration : through the concepts of open implementation and reflection. : : The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers working : on reflective middleware platforms (and related technologies), : to identify key developments in such areas, and to discuss the : future of this potentially important technology. The workshop will : be limited in size to a maximum of 50 participants to enhance : discussion, with participants invited on the basis of position : papers. Such position papers should be no longer than two pages : in length and should address topics such as: : : * The design and implementation of reflective middleware platforms; : * Experiences with such reflective technologies in suitable : application domains, e.g. mobile computing; : * Fundamental developments in the theory and practice of reflection, : related to this area; : * Experience with existing mechanisms such as CORBA interceptors or : the Meta-Object Facility; : * Consideration of alternative techniques for dynamic configuration : and/or re-configuration; : * Examination of potentially complementary techniques such as : aspect-oriented programming; : * Techniques to improve performance and/ or scalability of reflective : techniques; : * Approaches to maintain the integrity of reflective technologies; : * Tool support for reflective middleware. : : The workshop will last for 1 day, starting after lunch on the 7th : April (immediately following the end of Middleware'2000, and : ending at lunchtime on the following day. : : Submission Procedure: : ==================== : Submissions should be made electronically, following the procedure : described at: : : http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/computing/RM2000/ : : by the date given above. A technical program will then be put : together by the program committee, based on the submitted position : papers, with emphasis given to opportunity for discussion.
