[forwarded] Call for Papers Multi-Agent Information Systems
by Gustaf Neumann 09 Dec '99

09 Dec '99

Forwarded message from [g.staniford(a)livjm.ac.uk (Geoff Staniford)] sent originally on Thu, 9 Dec 1999 11:50:30 -0000: : Call for Papers : Special Session on : Multi-Agent Information Systems : Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA : June 26 - 29, 2000 : In conjunction with IC-AI'2000 : The 2000 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence : : For web version of this call see : http://www.cms.livjm.ac.uk/cmsgstan/mais2000.html : : Introduction : The characteristics of software agents such as autonomy, goal-orientedness, : collaboration and mobility present new possibilities for the development of : future information systems. An agent-based information system may employ : information agents that pro-actively search for and combine relevant : information on behalf of users or other agents from various sources. In : e-commerce, agents automate various aspects of a business transaction such : as price comparison, negotiation, auction, and brokerages, to name a few. : The development of complex large-scale information systems such as : distributed/federated databases, heterogeneous databases and semi-structured : databases in the future are most likely to use agent technology in the : design and implementation of various aspects of the system. : With the increasing use of such complex and large-scale information systems : new approaches to the design and implementation of these systems merit : significant investigation and analysis. Multi-agent systems have been mooted : as an important means with which to address the development of large and : complex information systems, and provide one such approach to the problem : above. Agent technology and multi-agent systems have arisen in an exciting : and rapidly changing field during the last ten years, emerging from : distributed artificial intelligence. In particular, the exponential growth : of the internet as an enabling technology for distributed systems has : provided an increasingly urgent need for research into issues surrounding : the research paradigms considered in this workshop. Indeed, at this exciting : interface between a number of fields of research, there are many open : questions to be answered, and many problems to be solved. : The design of systems based around multiple interacting agents requires : expertise from a number of different research areas. A key aim of this : interdisciplinary special session is to bring together active researchers : from the different fields to exchange ideas discuss the many open issues : that arise in the design, development and implementation of multi-agent : information systems. : : Topics of Interest : The special session will be concerned with a broad range of issues relating : to the design and implementation of agent-based systems. Topics of interest : include but are not limited to: : agents in Internet/E-Commerce systems and applications : agents in database systems and applications : agent coordination and integration of activities : agent adaptation and learning : information agents : mobility and Security Issues : middle agents : network agents : human-agent interaction, collaboration and communication : industrial agent systems and applications : agent theories and languages : agent models and architectures : : Submission : Authors who wish to submit to the session should send either PostScript or : PDF versions of their paper by email to the session chair, or else : provide a URL for an online version of the paper. Hardcopy submission is : possible if arranged in advance. Submissions should be no more than : 4000 words length (approx. 10 printed pages). The first page of each : submission should list the full contact details (including full name, : postal address, email address, phone and fax number) of at least one author. : All accepted papers will be published in the IC-AI'2000 proceedings : Your paper should reach us no later than 6th March 2000. : : Organisation : Session Chair: : Dr. Geof Staniford : School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences : Byrom Street : Liverpool John Moores University : Liverpool L3 3AF : United Kingdom. : g.staniford(a)livjm.ac.uk : : Important Dates: : March 6, 2000 (Monday): deadline for paper submission : April 3, 2000 (Monday): notification of acceptance/rejection : May 1, 2000 (Monday): camera-Ready papers & Pre reg. due : June 26 - 29, 2000: IC-AI'2000 Conference : : Note: : For information regarding the IC-AI'2000 conference, contact: : Prof. Hamid R.

[forwarded] CfP: AAAI-2000 Workshop on Constraints and AI Planning
by Gustaf Neumann 09 Dec '99

Forwarded message from [alex(a)ai-center.com] sent originally on Thu, 9 Dec 1999 06:12:29 +0800 (GMT-8): : (Please apologize if you receive multiple copies) : : ************************************************************ : : First Call for Papers/Participation : : AAAI-2000 Workshop on : Constraints and AI Planning : : http://www.ai-center.com/events/aaai-2000-ws : : Austin, Texas, USA, July 30, 2000 : : ************************************************************ : : The management of constraints is an integral part of today's : planning systems. It includes the simple orderings in POP : systems as well as the exclusion relations of today's : cutting-edge Graphplan-based planners. The need for : expressive formalisms with efficient propagation and : refinement techniques to extract solutions will grow further : given the ongoing orientation toward real-world problems, : which are constrained as regards temporal, spatial and many : other resources. Constraint programming has much to : contribute in this domain. : : The workshop will bring together researchers from the AI : planning and the constraint programming (including SAT) : communities. Despite early work to integrate activity : planning and constraint reasoning, there has been little : recent exchange between these communities. New interest is : now being shown and results from the SAT field have already : been integrated in some planners. The workshop will promote : communication between researchers and seeks to highlight : new and interesting ideas for combining planning with : constraint programming. Topics of interest include: : : * Hybrid systems: separate planners and constraint solvers : * Integrated systems : * Rich plan representations allowing for a variety of : constraints : * Planning with resource constraints : * Planning with nontrivial optimization goals : * Specialized propagation techniques and labeling : heuristics : * Planning as constraint satisfaction/optimization : * Extended CSP frameworks for handling planning problems : : In addition to paper presentations, there will be invited : talks and panel discussions addressing the following topics: : : * What can constraint programming offer in terms of : planning? What kind of problems can be tackled with which : techniques? : * How does a planning problem differ from a constraint : satisfaction problem? Can we - and, if so, how can we - : cope with these differences? : : --- ATTENDANCE --- : : Attendance will be limited to 40 participants. Participants : will be selected based on refereed submissions.
