Workflow technology and : management is an emerging research area in engineering and business. : Major software vendors such as Oracle and SAP are now including a workflow : component in their software suites. As a result, managing workflow : technology becomes an urgent topic facing corporate managers. : : E-commerce applications of workflow technology are more challenging than : enterprise workflow applications because e-commerce requires process : automation across organizational boundaries. An inter-organizational : environment makes workflow automation issues such as heterogeneity, : integration, interoperability, scalability, and security, much more : important. : : In this mini track, we concentrate on workflow technology and management : in e-commerce. Sample topic areas for the mini track include the : following: : : * Implementation of workflow technology in e-commerce systems : * The effectiveness of workflow technology in e-commerce : * Workflow-based architectures for e-commerce implementation : * Supply chain integration through workflow automation : * Transformation of procurement process : * Workflow system deployment in inter-organizational environment : * Integration of manual, semi-automated, and fully automated sub-workflow : systems : * Economic tradeoffs in the adoption of workflow technology : * Internet-based workflow systems : * Organizational modeling in workflow systems : * Flexibility issues in workflow systems : * Light weight workflow management systems : * XML applications in workflow technology : * UML and workflow modeling : : We invite papers that address any of the areas listed above, as well as : any related issues. A range of research methodologies including : conceptual, case analysis, implementation, lab experiments, and surveys : would be appropriate. : : Mini Track Co-Chairs : -------------------- : : Dr. J.

Forwarded message from [mathias.petsch(a)wirtschaft.tu-ilmenau.de (Mathias Petsch)] sent originally on Fri, 28 Jan 2000 09:31:56 +0100: : If you receive more than one copy, please accept our apologies : : ============================================================== : INTELLIGENT AGENTS FOR COMPUTER SUPPORTED CO-OPERATIVE WORK: : TECHNOLOGY AND RISKS : Workshop at the 4th International Conference on Autonomous Agents : June, 3 - 7, 2000, Barcelona, Spain : (http://www.wirtschaft.tu-ilmenau.de/wi/wi2/agents00-cscw-agents) : : 1st Call For Papers : ================================================================ : : Deadlines: : March 17th: Submission of Papers : April 3rd: Notification of Acceptance : April 10th: Submission of Camera Ready Copy : June 3-4th: Workshop at Agents 2000 : : ================================================================ : : INTRODUCTION: : : The increasing use of networking, coupled with an increasing distribution in the : operations of organisations, results in increasing problems of administration, : management and control of information and co-ordination of work. With the aim of : providing solution to such problems, research into Computer Supported : Co-operative Work (CSCW) is concerned with investigating approaches and : technologies for the support of group work, both within and among organisations, : in which the group members may be distributed geographically. : In parallel with the advances made in CSCW in recent years there have been : interesting developments in the fields of Intelligent Agents and Distributed : Artificial Intelligence (DAI), notably in the concepts, theories and deployment : of intelligent agents as a means of distributing computer-based problem solving : expertise. The concept of intelligent agents has given rise to an exciting new : technology of wide potential applicability. In particular, the paradigm of : multi-agent systems, which is also a focus of interest for researchers in : distributed artificial intelligence, forms a good basis for : (i) the design of CSCW architectures, and : (ii) the support of CSCW operations. : The application of a multi-agent approach to CSCW can help to make information : exchange among the participants easier, provide support to the participants : (e.g. in the form of Decision Support Systems), assist workflows and procedures, : and represent the user in a CSCW system. : But, the introduction of intelligent agents into CSCW systems as well as into : legacy information systems leads to potential new risks, e.g. unauthorised : information gain, unauthorised modification of information, unauthorised : derogation of functionality, or inadmissible loss of connection. Endowing agents : with intelligence increases the risks and threats, compared with conventional : communications and information systems. : : SUBMISSION: : : Topics of interest include but are not limited to: : - user agents in CSCW systems : - DAI architectures and CSCW systems, : - security aspects of agent-based CSCW systems, : - intelligent agents in CSCW (e.g. for decision support, : coordination, automation) : - applications of agent-based/mediated CSCW : : Contributions to the workshop should not exceed 8 pages in length and should be : emailed (electronic version) or posted (paper version, 5 copies) to one of the : contact persons below. : Final versions must conform to the ACM format.

[forwarded] CfP: AGENT-ORIENTED SOFTWARE ENGINEERING 2000 (AOSE-2000)
by Gustaf Neumann 29 Jan '00

29 Jan '00

Forwarded message from [M.J.Wooldridge(a)csc.liv.ac.uk (Mike Wooldridge)] sent originally on Fri, 28 Jan 2000 15:22:05 +0000 (GMT): : [NOTE NEW DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS.] : : CALL FOR PAPERS : : The First International Workshop on : : AGENT-ORIENTED SOFTWARE ENGINEERING (AOSE-2000) : : June 10, 1999 - Limerick, Ireland : : http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~mjw/aose2000/ : : To be held at : the 22nd International Conference on : Software Engineering (ICSE-2000) : : 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. : : PUBLICATION OF PROCEEDINGS : : An informal proceedings will be printed and distributed at the : workshop. Revised papers from the workshop will be formally published : by Springer-Verlag shortly after the workshop is held. : : TOPICS OF INTEREST : : We welcome the submission of all papers on aspects of agent oriented : software engineering, but particularly the following: : : * Methodologies for agent-oriented analysis and design : : * Relationship of agent-oriented software to other paradigms (e.g., OO); : : * UML and agent systems; : : * Agent-oriented requirements analysis and specification; : : * Refinement and synthesis techniques for agent-based specifications; : : * Verification and validation techniques for agent-based systems; : : * Software development environments and CASE tools for AOSE; : : * Standard APIs for agent programming; : : * Formal methods for agent-oriented systems, including specification : and verification logics; : : * Engineering large-scale agent systems; : : * Experiences with field-tested agent systems; : : * Best practice in agent-oriented development; : : * Market and other economic models in agent systems engineering; : : * Practical coordination and cooperation frameworks for agent systems; : : A number of other topics of interest have also been identified for the : workshop; see the workshop WWW site for details. : : 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.
