[forwarded] Special session on Software Agents -Oriented Workflows
by Gustaf Neumann 06 Dec '99

06 Dec '99

Forwarded message from [zakaria.maamar(a)drev.dnd.ca (Zakaria Maamar)] sent originally on Mon, 06 Dec 1999 11:54:40 -0500: : Call for papers for special session on: : Software Agents-Oriented Workflows : (Concepts - Methods - Tools) : at : The 2000 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IC-AI'2000) : June 26 - 29, 2000, Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA : Due Date: March 6, 2000 : : The Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) defines a WF as the automation of : a business process, in whole or part, during which documents, information : or tasks are passed from one participant to another for action, according : to a set of procedural rules. Currently, organisations tend to use WFs in : order to streamline and coordinate their business processes. : : Generally, WFs are designed and saved for later use. Therefore, these WFs : are pre-defined and static. In this context, one potential drawback of the : WFs results from their no-adaptability. Moreover, with the recent progress : of communication middlewares, for instance object request brokers, and : programming languages for distributed applications, for instance JAVA, WFs : need to be flexible and scalable. In order to cope with these requirements, : a promising approach consists of viewing a WF as a dynamic collection of : collaborative processes that need to be clustered together. Clustering : processes and managing their performance could be assigned to intelligent : components, namely Software Agents (SAs). SAs are attracting much attention : for their autonomy, cooperative behavior, and lately mobility. Whenever : needed, and taking into account the characteristics of the environment in : which they evolve, SAs cluster processes and order them in order to : constitute the required WFs. Such an approach offers a great flexibility : since process combination could be directly based on the agent's states, : rather than being pre-defined in advance. : : Topics of interests include but are not limited to: : * Modeling, designing, and developing software agents-oriented workflows. : * Software agents for managing cross-organisational workflows. : * Software agents for adaptive workflows. : * Applications such as e-commerce, Internet, etc. : : Session organizer : Dr. Zakaria MAAMAR, Defence Scientist : Interoperability Group, Information System Technology Section : Defence Research Establishment Valcartier (DREV) : 2459 Pie-XI Blvd North, Val-Bélair QC G3J 1X5, Canada : Phone: (418) 844-4000 ext. 4427. : Fax: (418) 844-4538. : Email: zakaria.maamar(a)drev.dnd.ca : : Submission of papers : Authors who wish to submit to the session should send either PostScript or : PDF versions of their paper by email to the session organizer, 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.

Forwarded message from [davidr(a)SBA.PDX.EDU (David Raffo)] sent originally on Thu, 2 Dec 1999 11:08:27 -8: : ************************************************************ : Call for Papers : Software Process Simulation Modeling Workshop : (ProSim 2000) : Keynote: Dr. Barry Boehm : : London, UK : July 12 - 14, 2000 : : http://web.pdx.edu/~prosim/prosim2000 : ************************************************************ : You are invited to participate in the 3rd Annual Software Process : Simulation Modeling Workshop (ProSim 2000). Software process : simulation modeling is increasingly being used to address a variety : of issues from the strategic management of software development, to : supporting process improvements, to software project management : training. The scope of software process simulation applications : ranges from narrow focused portions of the life cycle to longer-term : product evolutionary models with broad organizational impacts. The : goal of the workshop is to bring together academics and practitioners : interested in the area of software process simulation modeling and : metrics as well as important industrial issues related to cost : estimation and business process design. ProSim is an international : forum for presenting current research themes and applications, to : discuss various approaches and to discover underlying similarities. : Our key note speaker this year will be Dr. Barry Boehm. : : This year's ProSim workshop will be collocated with the FEAST : workshop (Feedback and Evolution in Software and Business : Processes - July 10 - 12) http://www-dse.doc.ic.ac.uk/~mml/f2000/ and : the Conference on Software Evolution (July 12-14). All three events : will be held at the Imperial College of Science, Technology and : Medicine, London, UK. : : For ProSim 2000, authors are invited to submit 2-3 page extended : abstracts by February 25 with 8-10 page papers due May 15. Select : workshop papers will be included in a special issue of the Journal of : Systems and Software.

[forwarded] CfP: Agent-Oriented Software Engineering 2000
by Gustaf Neumann 01 Dec '99

01 Dec '99

Forwarded message from [m.j.wooldridge(a)elec.qmw.ac.uk (Mike Wooldridge)] sent originally on Wed, 1 Dec 1999 15:02:08 +0000 (GMT): : CALL FOR PAPERS : : The First International Workshop on : : AGENT-ORIENTED SOFTWARE ENGINEERING (AOSE-2000) : : June 10, 2000 - Limerick, Ireland : : To be held at the : Twenty Second International Conference on : Software Engineering (ICSE-2000) : http://www.ul.ie/~icse2000/ : : Software engineers have derived a progressively better understanding : of the characteristics of complexity in software. It is now widely : recognised that *interaction* is probably the most important single : characteristic of complex software. Software architectures that : contain many dynamically interacting components, each with their own : thread of control, and engaging in complex coordination protocols, are : typically orders of magnitude more complex to correctly and : efficiently engineer than those that simply compute a function of some : input through a single thread of control. : : Unfortunately, it turns out that many (if not most) real-world : applications have precisely these characteristics. As a consequence, a : major research topic in computer science over at least the past two : decades has been the development of tools and techniques to model, : understand, and implement systems in which interaction is the norm. : Indeed, many researchers now believe that in future, computation : itself will be understood as chiefly as a process of interaction. : : Since the 1980s, software agents and multi-agent systems have grown : into what is now one of the most active areas of research and : development activity in computing generally. There are many reasons : for the current intensity of interest, but certainly one of the most : important is that the concept of an agent as an autonomous system, : capable of interacting with other agents in order to satisy its design : objectives, is a natural one for software designers. Just as we can : understand many systems as being composed of essentially passive : objects, which have state, and upon which we can perform operations, : so we can understand many others as being made up of interacting, : semi-autonomous agents. : : This recognition has led to the growth of interest in agents as a new : paradigm for software engineering. In this workshop for ICSE2000 we : will seek to examine the credentials of agent-based approaches as a : software engineering paradigm, and to gain an insight into what : agent-oriented software engineering will look like. : : We will welcome the submission of all papers on aspects of agent : oriented software engineering, but we are particularly interested in : "viewpoint" papers, which address themselves to the following : questions: : : 1. The "OO mindset" contains about half a dozen key concepts -- : class, instance, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and so : on. In your view, what are the key concepts in the : "agent-oriented" mindset? If you had to identify just one, then : what would it be and why? How do we identify what should and : should not be modelled/implemented as an agent? What are the key : features you look for in a problem that suggest an agent-based : solution? : : 2. Over the past few years, there has been an increasing trend in the : object-oriented community towards the development of "agent-like" : features. Examples include distributed objects (CORBA, RMI), : applets, mobile object systems, and coordination mechanisms and : languages. This trend is likely to continue at least in the short : term. Given this, how does an agent-oriented software engineering : view sit in relation to other software paradigms, in particular, : object-oriented development? What are the key attributes of : agent-oriented development that make it *unique* and : *distinctive*? : : 3. What is the impact of agent-oriented languages and tools on the : software development process? How can legacy software : architectures be integrated with agent or multi-agent oriented : applications? Which specification, design, implementation, : maintenance, or documentation systems and strategies have to be : adopted in order to deal with agent-oriented issues? : : 4. Agent-based solutions are not appropriate to all applications. : One of the keys to the success of agent-oriented software : engineering is therefore to identify the application requirements : that indicate an agent-based solution. If you have a particular : approach to agent-oriented development, then describe this : approach, and give a *short* case study of a realistic problem : that you have tackled using it. Describe the major software : engineering principles that you learnt from this experience, and : outline the software engineering issues that your experience have : raised. : : SUBMISSION DETAILS : : Those wishing to participate in the workshop should submit an original : research paper of up to 5000 words (approximately 13 pages maximum) to : the workshop chair, to arrive no later than 1 February : 2000. Electronic submission in PostScript or PDF is mandatory. The : first page should include the full name and contact details (including : email, full postal address, and telephone number) of at least one : author. : : IMPORTANT DATES : : Submissions due Feb 1 2000 : Notifications sent March 15 2000 : Workshop June 10 2000 : : ORGANISING COMMITTEE : : Paolo Ciancarini (chair) : University of Bologna, Italy : email ciancarini(a)cs.unibo.it : : Michael Wooldridge (co-chair) : University of Liverpool, UK : email M.J.Wooldridge(a)csc.liv.ac.uk : : ABOUT ICSE 2000 : : ICSE is the premier international conference on software engineering, : and was attended by 900 delegates in 1999.
