This workshop aims to narrow the gap between : fundamental agent research and application of intelligent agents : in logistics. It should significantly contribute to the : implementation processes of agent technologies for real-life : logistics systems by the discussion of current technologies, : including their benefits, challenges, and obstacles. : : ------------------------------------------------------------------- : Introduction : : Multiagent systems and intelligent agents have become one of the : most promising software technologies during the last decades. : As agents are objects enhanced with additional features their : application potential exceeds the one of traditional OO-concepts : leading to the use of "intelligent" objects in software : engineering. The engineering aspects of this technology have not : been realized yet, nor have they been satisfyingly considered. : Therefore, only a small number of concepts, methodologies and : large-scale scenarios for adequate applications of multiagent : systems in the industry are available up to now. For the : long-term success of intelligent agents and multiagent systems : it is absolutely necessary to transfer research results into : commercial applications. A very promising field of application : is logistics - because of its inherent complexity that cannot : simply be overcome by conventional approaches-, esp. information : and products logistics. : This workshop aims at bringing together researchers and (potential) : users, their concepts, scenarios, hopes, and ideas related to agent : technology, and to identify new application domains and work to be : done in future. : : ------------------------------------------------------------------- : Topics : : * Theoretical and methodological foundations of multiagent systems : * Identification, modeling, simulation, and formal representation : of real-world business scenarios in logistics concerning either : manufacturing or health care : * Further improvements of agent technology in the context of : well-defined problems of the logistical domain : * Business- and market-related impacts of agent technologies : * Mutual influences of evolving business standards, e.g., Jini and : XML, and their fruitful merging with existing agent technology : standards : : ------------------------------------------------------------------- : Submission Details : : The scientific program will consist of presentations of accepted : papers and panel discussions. You are invited to submit a paper : according the following recommendations: : : Electronic submissions are solicited in Tex, Latex, PostScript, : PDF or Word97/2000 format. The papers, starting with title, : authors's names, addresses, phone and fax numbers, and email : addresses, followed by keywords, and concluding with relevant : bibliographic references, should fit on 4 to 10 single-spaced : typewritten A4 or 8.5x11 inch pages (about 5000 words), in the : form of an extended abstract or complete research, survey or : position paper.

[forwarded] CFP: ISDO'00 - Workshop on Infrastructures for Dynamic Business
by Gustaf Neumann 13 Dec '99

13 Dec '99

Forwarded message from [hlu(a)zurich.ibm.com] sent originally on Mon, 13 Dec 1999 10:30:12 +0100 (MET): : Bitte entschuldigen Sie mehrfaches Empfangen dieses CfP. : Heiko Ludwig : : _______________________________________________________________________________ : : CAiSE*00 Workshop on : : Infrastructures for Dynamic Business-to-Business Service Outsourcing (IDSO'00) : : Stockholm, 5 or 6 June 2000 : : Call for Position Papers and Participation : (http://www.zurich.ibm.com/~hlu/ISDB2BO/) : : OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE : : The objective of the workshop is to provide a platform to discuss models : and technologies for service outsourcing. The emphasis of the workshop will : be on the integration of the dynamic establishment, set-up, and enactment of : service relationships that connect the business processes of service providers : and consumers, establishing virtual enterprises. : : Now-a-days, many production companies integrate their procurement processes : using online marketplaces and network-based supply chain management systems. : However, this is not the case for the service industry. While many service : organisations have already automated their internal business process management : (e.g. using workflow management systems, enterprise resource planning (ERP) : systems, for example), service marketplaces remain an uncommon phenomenon. The : reason for this is that the integration of service sales, service enactment, : and customer interaction with the service process still appears to be highly : difficult. This is particularly the case where complex services, such as : insurance and complex logistics for example, involve considerable customer : interaction. : : The integration of virtual marketplace service procurement/sales with : configuration and enactment of dynamic, interactive business processes raises : many issues that have to be addressed: : : - Contract Establishment: How to establish contracts which describe services : in terms of their functionality, quality guarantees, the customer support : facilities, etc. in a manner which facilitates the advertising and searching : for compatible services? : - Fulfillment Policy: How to describe enactment policies, how to specify the : fulfillment policy for quality guarantees? : - Service Set-up and Configuration: How to exploit the contracts when setting : up the infrastructure in the consumer and provider organisations? : - Backend Integration: How to integrate the market related activities with the : core business process systems? : - Consumer Interaction: How to facilitate the management of outsourced services : by the service consumer? : - Assessment: How to evaluate whether the service was profitable, successful : (post execution)? : - Conflict Handling: How to resolve conflicts and disputes about service : fulfillment? : : Some of these issues are being addressed in a domain specific manner (e.g. : telecommunication industry). Furthermore, some existing solutions which : address part of the problem cannot inter-operate with other existing solutions. : What appears to be lacking is an integrated approach to the problem. : : The purpose of this workshop therefore is to: : : - Get an overview of ongoing projects and upcoming products. : - Compile requirements for integrated service outsourcing infrastructures. : - See whether existing standards help address the problems. : - Learn from the experience of successful or unsuccessful deployments. : - Serve as a starting point for community-building activities in this field. : : INTENDED PARTICIPANTS : : Researchers and professionals from academia and industry that are working in : the fields of electronic marketplaces, ontologies, description languages, : electronic catalogues, workflow and other business process management systems, : service gateways, or related subjects. : : SUBMISSION OF POSITION PAPERS AND PUBLICATION : : Participants are required to submit a position paper outlining results or work : in progress, or experience reports. : : Topics of interest include but are not limited to: : - Electronic service marketplaces. : - Service description languages. : - Electronic contract representation. : - Electronic contract signing. : - Electronic service catalogues. : - Service gateways. : - Service configuration. : - QoS measurement and management. : - Integration with ERP systems. : - Integration with other service enactment management system platforms. : - Integration with Workflow management systems. : - Business and legal issues of service outsourcing. : - Interactive service management by the service consumer. : : Position paper must not exceed 2500 words. Depending on the quality, a summary : of the workshop and the most interesting (or all) position papers will be : published in a journal. : : IMPORTANT DATES : : Position papers due: March 14, 1999 : Notification of acceptance: April 17, 1999 : Workshop: June 5 or 6, 1999 : : PROGRAM COMMITTEE : : A program committee selects the participants according to their position : papers.

Forwarded message from [klusch(a)dfki.de (Matthias Klusch)] sent originally on Fri, 10 Dec 1999 13:45:49 +0100: : Please take our apologies if you receive this message multiple times since : it has been posted to different relevant mailing lists. : : SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS : : ********************************************* : : Fourth International Workshop CIA-2000 on : : COOPERATIVE INFORMATION AGENTS : : July 7 - 9, 2000 : Boston, USA : : ********************************************* : : http://www.dfki.de/~klusch/cia2000.html : : This workshop is co-sponsored by : : - NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, USA. : - Swiss Life AG, Switzerland. : - IFMAS International Foundation for Multiagent Systems. : : It is co-located with the ICMAS-2000 conference. : : IMPORTANT DATES : =============== : : Deadline for Paper Submission: JANUARY 24, 2000 : : Notification of Acceptance/Rejection: March 10, 2000 : Deadline for Camera-Ready Paper: March 27, 2000 : : WORKSHOP THEME : ============== : : Information agent technology is one of the major key : technologies for the Internet and worldwide Web. It emerged as a : response to the challenges of the cyberspace from both, the : technological and human user perspective. : An information agent is a computational software entity that has : access to one or multiple, heterogeneous and distributed information : sources, pro-actively searches for and maintains relevant information : on behalf of users or other agents preferably just-in-time. : In other words, it is managing and overcoming the difficulties associated : with information overload. : Although low-level infrastructure has been developed to support : interoperability between heterogeneous databases and application programs, : this is not sufficient when dealing with higher-level object organizations : such as vertical business object frameworks and workflows. Existing : multi-database or federated database systems do not even support any : kind of pro-active information discovery. : One key challenge of advanced information systems is to balance the : autonomy of databases and legacy systems with the potential payoff of : leveraging them by the use of information agents to perform collaborative : work. : Development of information agents requires expertise from different : research disciplines such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), : advanced databases and knowledge base systems, distributed information : systems, information retrieval, and Human Computer Interaction (HCI). : : Like in the previous CIA workshops, all hot topics in the research area : of intelligent and collaborating information agents are covered by : the CIA-2000 workshop. : : TOPICS : ====== : : Topics are but not limited to: : : * SYSTEMS and Applications of Information Agents : : - Architectures, prototypes and fielded systems of collaborating information agents : for information discovery and management in the Internet and Web. : - Issues of Programming Collaborative Information Agents for the Internet. : : * ADAPTATION and Learning Applied to Information Agents : : - Advanced methods for single and multiagent system learning. : - Performance, relationship and application of multiagent learning : for collaborating information agents. : - Self-emerging collaboration among information agents. : - Computation and action under limited resources. : - Methods for automated uncertain reasoning for knowledge based : information agents. : - Distributed, adaptive Information Retrieval : : * MOBILE Information Agents and Issues of Security in the Internet : : - Applications of cooperating mobile information agents in wearable : computers, hand-held and/or satellite-based control devices : (WAP-compliant Web handies, communicators, etc.). : - Architectures, environments and languages for mobile and secure : performance of information agents and servers. : : * RATIONAL Information Agents and Electronic Commerce : : - Virtual Agent-Based Marketplaces, Coalition Formation, Auctions. : - Electronic Commerce with incomplete and uncertain informations. : - Economic Models of cooperative problem solving among rational information : agents in open information environments. : - Standards for privacy of communication, security, and jurisdiction for : agent-mediated deals. : : * Advanced Database, Information System and Knowledge-Base Technology : : - Application of techniques for Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery in : open, distributed and dynamically changing environments. : - Management of uncertain and incomplete knowledge for information : gathering on the Internet or large corporate Intranets. : : * Construction and Reuse of Ontologies for Multiagent Information Gathering : : * Human-Agent Interaction and Intelligent User Interfaces for Information Agents : : - Synthetic agents, believable avatars, and 3-D multimedia-based : representation of user information spaces in the Internet. : - Models and implementation of advanced interfaces for conversation and : dialogue among information Agents and Users. : - Dynamic inspection of information agents' work by the user. : : PROCEEDINGS : =========== : : The workshop proceedings including all accepted papers will be published : by Springer as a volume in the LNAI series (Lecture Notes in : Artificial Intelligence). : The proceedings of the CIA-97, CIA-98, CIA-99 workshops appeared as : LNAI Vol. 1202, 1435 and 1652 respectively. : : PREPARATION & SUBMISSION OF PAPERS : ================================== : : The length of each paper should not exceed 12 pages. : All papers must be written in English. Submissions will be refereed for quality, : correctness, originality and relevance. Papers accepted or under review by other : conferences, workshops or journals are not acceptable.
