An important : aim of UDMS has been to provide a forum for people to discuss new approaches, to consider new : technologies and to share practical experiences in the field of urban data management. : Traditionally the focus has been on urban applications. However, regional and rural issues have : always been well represented at UDMS. : : During the 21st Urban Data Management Symposium, held in Venice in 1999, it became clear that UDMS : should broaden its scope. To an increasing degree urban development has its effect on regional and : rural zones and vice versa. Especially in the densely populated parts of Europe cities, industry : and infrastructure need more and more space. The impact of this expansion on rural areas should be : studied and visualised using new spatial information technologies. : Therefore UDMS has decided to focus also on regional and rural aspects at the beginning of a new : century. : : >From an economic point of view land becomes more and more scarce and therefore more and more : valuable. From the countries in Central Europe we learn how important it is to solve the land : market problems in order to establish a free market economy. Since 1996 UDMS has also paid : attention to developments in Central Europe. As membership of the European Union is now the main : aim of these countries, it becomes even more important to discuss these issues. : : For more details: http://www.geo.tudelft.nl/GISt/UDMS2000/UDMS2000.htm : : The general theme will be Urban and Rural Data Management Common Problems - Common Solutions? : : Topics: : * Organisation of the technical services of local and regional authorities : * Cadastre and Land Administration : * Shared use of geographic information : * Metadata services clearing house : * Environmental information : * Public Service Delivery: the role of local and regional authorities and private companies : * Integrating GIS into an urban and rural information system : * New technologies for urban and rural planning and management : * Urban risks and disaster management : * New technologies for infrastructure : * Co-operative urban information systems : * Tele-geoprocessing and the use of telecommunications for urban and rural management and monitoring : * Using Internet, Intranet and Extranet technologies : * One line permitting : * Intranets and Extranets for Local Authorities. : * Environment Monitoring : * GIS for public participation and information to citizens : : Board of UDMS: : * Massimo Rumor (President) Padua, Italy rumor(a)dei.unipd.it : * Robert Laurini (Vice-President) Lyon, France laurini(a)if.insa-lyon.fr : * Jørgen Rasmussen (Treasurer) Odense, Denmark ras(a)kmd.dk : * Ken Jones (Program Coordinator) Oslo, Norway kenjones(a)online.no : * Theo Bogaerts (Member) Delft, The Netherlands e.m.fendel(a)geo.tudelft.nl : : National Representatives: : * Antonio Arnaud, Portugal ama(a)di.fct.unl.pt : * Jerzy Gazdzicki, Poland gazdzicki(a)waw.pdi.net : * Josef Hojdar, Czech Republic hojdar(a)mbox.vol.cz : * Matti Holopainen, Finland matti.holopainen(a)kuntaliitto.fi : * Michael J.

[forwarded] ECAI 2000 WS on Balancing Reactivity and Social Deliberation in MAS
by Gustaf Neumann 03 Jan '00

03 Jan '00

Forwarded message from [hannebau(a)first.gmd.de] sent originally on Sat, 1 Jan 2000 19:32:04 +0800 (GMT-8): : [Please apologize if you receive multiple copies of this message.] : : --------------------------------------------------------------------- : First Call for Papers/Participation : : ECAI 2000 Workshop on : BALANCING REACTIVITY AND SOCIAL DELIBERATION IN MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS : : http://www.first.gmd.de/plan/ecai-2000-ws.html : : Berlin, Germany, August 22, 2000 : --------------------------------------------------------------------- : : Important Dates : --------------- : : Deadline for submission: 1.5.2000 : Notification: 1.6.2000 : Deadline for camera-ready papers: 10.6.2000 : Workshop: 22.8.2000 : : Scope : ----- : : Today's envisioned applications of intelligent systems in general : and multi-agent systems in particular confront researchers and : developers with the difficulty of finding the right balance between : reactive and socially deliberative behavior. Reactive systems are : capable of adapting very quickly to unforeseen changes in the en- : vironment and are hence said to be more robust and efficient. On : the other hand, they usually lack the necessary overview to produce : behavior that can compete with the results of in-depth reasoning : techniques. In contrary to that, socially deliberative systems : allow for exploiting environmental information and coordination : mechanisms to build up through-thought individual and even team- : oriented strategies. Though their problem-solving results are : usually much better than in reactive systems, deliberative systems : are much more susceptible to dynamic environments and often lack : the potential for real-time computation. : : This workshop focuses on theoretical, technical and practical work : on balancing between these two extremes in the context of collabo- : rative work in multi-agent systems. Contributions from Artificial : Intelligence as well as Robotics are welcome. : : Theoretical and technical topics of interest include, but are not : restricted to: : : - Extension of reactive systems by cooperation : : - Teaching deliberative systems reactivity and real-time : : - Efficient coordination, cooperation and organization approaches : : - Anytime approaches and algorithms : : - Design and evaluation of hybrid multi-level agent architectures : : - Short-term, medium-term and long-term intentionality : : - Enriching group behavior by environmental, opponent and social : models : : - Individual and social adaptivity : : To keep the workshop focussed, we encourage practical contributions : to be directed at: : : - Multi-agent problem solving (planning, scheduling, control ...) : : Real-world problems often require distributed solving strate- : gies, because of natural distribution, social competence and : efficiency matters. Multi-agent approaches to such problems are : said to be more robust than monolithic systems, but usually en- : tail worse solutions. How can this be overcome by better balan- : cing between reactive and deliberative behavior? : : - RoboCup : : RoboCup has proven to be a great and challenging benchmarking : scenario both to Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. In : RoboCup reactivity and real-time are a must, but social delibe- : ration gets more and more important to match the world's lea- : ding teams. Hence, there is much research work to be done con- : sidering the topics of this workshop. : : IMPORTANT: Papers that focus on RoboCup-specific topics should : make clear how the work could be applied to other domains as : well. We encourage you to pick at least one specific domain and : argue that such is the case. : : : Submissions : ----------- : : Participation in the workshop will be restricted to 30 persons. We : encourage active participation by inviting only people with sub- : mitted papers or with a single-page statement of interest, reflec- : ting the authors' concrete relation to the field and topic. All : workshop participants must register for ECAI 2000. : : Informal pre-proceedings of the workshop will be published in time : to be available at the workshop. Additionally, Springer-Verlag has : committed to publish an edited version of the workshop proceedings : in its well-known Lecture Notes on Artificial Intelligence series : (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html).

Forwarded message from [cagnoni(a)CE.UniPR.IT] sent originally on Sat, 1 Jan 2000 20:06:20 +0800 (GMT-8): : (apologies for multiple copies) : : *******************CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION******************* : : Robocup European Championship-2000 Amsterdam : : The First Robocup European Championship 2000 and Conferences : 28 May - 2 June : University Sport Center, Amsterdam, Netherlands : See http://www.robocup.org : : The Robot World Cup, RoboCup, is an international initiative to foster : AI and intelligent robotics research by providing a standard problem, : a soccer game, where a wide range of technologies can be integrated : and examined. This is the first European RoboCup event, and it will : be held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The competitions will take : place at the Sport Center of the University of Amsterdam. The : participation of the best teams of this European Championship in the : Robot World Cup in Australia will be sponsored by the organizing : commitee. : : The first Robot World Cup, RoboCup-97, was held in Nagoya, Japan, in : August 1997, and included the participation of more than 40 teams. The : second Robot World Cup, RoboCup-98, was held in Paris, in July 98, and : more than 60 teams participated. In 1999 the third Robot Soccer World : Cup was held in Stockholm, Sweden. In August 2000 the fourth Robot : Soccer World Cup Games will be held in Australia. Future scheduled : RoboCup events are: RoboCup-2001 Seattle, RoboCup-2002 Japan. Sites : for 2003 and after are not decided. : : In order for a team of robot agents to play a soccer game, different : technologies must be integrated, including design principles of : autonomous agents, multi-agent collaboration, strategy acquisition, : real-time reasoning, sensor-fusion, and learning. RoboCup is a task : for a team of multiple fast-moving robot agents in a dynamic, : non-deterministic, and adversarial environment. The different leagues : emphasize different aspects of the challenge of creating teams of : autonomous agents. : : As a test bed for progressing the technology of multiple agent systems : Robocup serves to bring together teams of researchers in a cooperative : environment. It is a condition of entry that teams must disclose the : technology used in the creation of their teams. The competitions : themselves are very exciting and provide both educational and : entertainment interest for the audience that attends Robocup events. : : Real Robot Small League (F180): : Teams of up to five real robots of small size (approximately 15 cm in : diameter) compete on a 1.525 x 2.74 m field. : : Real Robot Medium League (F2000): : Teams of up to five real robots of medium size (approximately 50cm in : diameter) compete on a 4.575 x 8.22m field. : : Simulation League: : Software agents play soccer using the RoboCup soccer server simulator, : available from the RoboCup Web page. The competition will be played on : a parallel machine running Linux. The registered teams will have the : possibility to experiment on this system during the last two months : before Robocup European Championship 2000. We plan to have also an : application available which can be downloaded, so that people can see : the simulation competition on Internet in real-time. : : Visualization : A number of groups in the world work on 3D visualization systems of : the log-file data of the robot simulator, automatic commenting systems : and automatic systems for the selection of the most challenging events : during the competition. These systems will be demonstrated during the : event : : Legged Robot League: : A demo of Sony legged robots playing soccer games will be given. : : Workshop: : A workshop will be held to present and discuss technical details of : the robots and software agents which participate in the competition, : as well as other research and educational topics related to : RoboCup. The workshop submission is open to anyone interested in : science and technology related to RoboCup. It is not limited to : participants of RoboCup competition program. RoboCup commentators, 3D : visualization, theoretical analysis of real soccer games, application : and relevance of RoboCup to significant social program, specific : technologies which may be applied to improve RoboCup's team : performance, educational issues, etc, are all welcome contributions to : the workshop program.
