Forwarded message from [a2000pub(a)iiia.csic.es (Agents 2000 Publicity)] sent originally on Wed, 2 Feb 2000 12:43:11 +0100 (MET): : WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS : : Achieving Human-Like Behavior in Interactive Animated Agents : : June 3, 2000 : Barcelona, Spain : : in conjunction with : The Fourth International Conference on Autonomous Agents : http://www.iiia.csic.es/agents2000 : : Workshop objectives : ------------------- : : For more than 50 years, skilled artists have achieved surprisingly : human-like behavior in animated characters. Similar quality has yet to : be achieved in animated agents that can interact dynamically with : their users and their environment. This workshop will bring together : leading researchers in this area to assess the state of the art, : identify key research issues, and share new ideas. : : The last ten years have seen exciting new applications of animated : agents and rapid progress in the underlying technology. Animated : conversational agents coordinate nonverbal communicative behavior with : spoken dialogue to make human-computer interfaces more like : face-to-face conversation. Presentation agents integrate these : conversational skills and the use of visual aids into compelling : multimedia presentations. Animated pedagogical agents combine such : conversational and presentational skills with the ability to monitor : students' problem solving in interactive learning environments. : Agents cohabit virtual worlds with people to serve as companions, : teammates, or adversaries. In all these applications, animated agents : may appear as realistic humans, as animals, or as fictional creatures, : but they all share one thing in common: they attempt to mimic human : interactional behavior. : : While animated characters in the movies can rely on handcrafted : behavior created by skilled artists, interactive animated agents must : be driven by general computational models that produce appropriate : behavior in a wide range of situations. Operating in real time, : they must react appropriately to people and other agents, and they : must interact with objects in the virtual world without the : assumptions of a static environment and laborious keyframe : animation. The focus of this workshop is on the technical challenges : of designing such computational models of human-like behavior, and in : the utilization of such models to create realistic, expressive, and : seamless agent behavior. Behavior models include such things as : locomotion, gaze, gestures, object manipulations, facial displays, and : emotional expression. Examples of possible technical issues for : discussion include : - effective combinations of inverse kinematics, motion capture, and : keyframe animation : - believable blending of different movements and transitions between : them : - principles for action selection that ensure coherence in an agent's : behavior : - methods for ensuring that automatically generated behaviors meet : sufficiently high artistic and production standards : - coordinated generation of verbal and nonverbal behaviors : - timing and synchronization of nonverbal communicative movements with : speech : - behavior models that take into account the personality and emotional : state of the agent : - tools and methods for authoring interactive animated agents for new : virtual worlds and applications : : Workshop format : --------------- : : The workshop will be organized as a series of presentations and : panels. The presentations will be split into three areas: : - Assessments of the state of the art for some aspect of interactive : animated agents. For example, such a talk may focus on locomotion, : gaze, gesture, or facial movements. These talks will be given : sufficient time (e.g., 30-45 minutes) to clearly present the : capabilities and limitations of existing techniques. : - Analysis of existing systems. These talks will briefly describe : particular interactive animated agents that have been designed : and implemented, focusing on design criteria, lessons learned, : and key technical challenges that remain beyond the state of the : art. : - Innovative new ideas. The workshop will include a limited number of : talks that present particularly novel solutions to central problems : in developing interactive animated agents. The length of these : talks will lie somewhere between the longer state-of-the-art talks : and the shorter systems talks. : : All papers and talks should focus on computational models that control : the outward behavior of animated agents. We welcome discussions of : applications areas, studies of human behavior, models of agent : cognition, and techniques for multimodal input only as they relate to : controlling the outward behavior of animated agents. By maintaining : this focus for the workshop, we hope to achieve a more coherent : discussion aimed at the critical technical issues required for : continued progress in the field. : : Submission requirements : ----------------------- : : Attendance at the workshop will be by invitation only. People : interested in attending the workshop without giving a talk should : submit a one- or two-page description of their research interests. : People interested in giving a talk should submit a paper summarizing : the content of their proposed talk. The paper should not exceed 5 : pages (using 11pt and reasonable margins), and it should include : references to other papers in this area by the authors. All : submissions will be reviewed by at least two members of the program : committee. : : Submissions should be emailed to Jeff Rickel (rickel(a)isi.edu) in : plain text or PDF format by March 17. If email is not possible, a : hard copy can be sent to Dr. Rickel at the following address: : : 4676 Admiralty Way, Suite 1001 : Marina del Rey, CA 90292 : : Authors are highly encouraged to send a VHS video of their work or a : pointer to a video that is available on the Web. : : Note: Workshop participants will be required to register for the : Agents 2000 main conference. : : Important dates : --------------- : : March 17, 2000 - Deadline for submission of papers to workshop chair : March 31, 2000 - Invitations for workshop sent out : June 3, 2000 - Tentative date for workshop : : Organizing committee : -------------------- : : Jeff Rickel, USC Information Sciences Institute, USA (chair) : W.

These researchers suggest that it is inappropriate to : assume that strategic alignment will automatically improve the : chances of IS effectiveness and improved organisational performance : : The phenomenal growth of e-business has now placed the focus clearly : on IT-intensive value innovation (El Sawy et al, 1999) and evaluation : of value returns (Farbey et al, 1999). The lack of evidence supporting : such return calls into question the original planning processes and : suggests a new paradigm is required recognising the value of : e-knowledge and its incorporation into all strategic planning : activities within the organisation. : : Possible Topics; : : - Succesful strategies for e-business : - New paradigms for e-business Planning : - Planning for e-knowledge (e-commerce + knowledge management) : - Organisational strategy research : - E-business complexity frameworks : - Assumptions for e-business planning : - Theories of strategic planning for e-commerce systems (SPECS) : : Mini-Track Co-Chairs: : : Ray Hackney : Manchester Metropolitan University, UK : <r.hackney(a)mmu.ac.uk> : : Janice Burn : Edith Cowan University, Australia : < j.burn(a)ecu.edu.au> : : Gurpreet Dhillon : University of Nevada, USA : <dhillon(a)nevada.edu> : : Important Dates : : Submission of Material: March 15, 2000 : Notification of Acceptance: April 15, 2000 : Camera-Ready Copy: May 5, 2000 : Conference Registration: June 1, 2000 : : Submission Guidelines : : All submissions and enquires should be made to Dr Ray Hackney : (r.hackney(a)mmu.ac.uk).

[forwarded] CFP: Agents 2000 workshop on Conversation Policies and ACL Semantics
by Gustaf Neumann 01 Feb '00

01 Feb '00

Forwarded message from [greaves(a)redwood.rt.cs.boeing.com (Mark Greaves)] sent originally on Tue, 1 Feb 2000 12:19:39 -0800 (PST): : Call for Papers : : Workshop on Agent Communication : : to be held preceding Autonomous Agents 2000 : Barcelona, Spain : June 3, 2000 : : http://wwwis.win.tue.nl/ac2000/ : : OBJECTIVES : : This workshop builds on two successful predecessors: : : 1. The Agents-99 workshop on Specifying and Implementing Conver- : sation Policies (http://www.boeing.com/special/agents99/), and : 2. The IJCAI-99 workshop on Agent Communication Languages: : From Speech Acts to Conversations (http://wwwis.win.tue.nl/acl99/) : : For this year, we are going to combine these workshops into a single one : at Agents 2000. We invite papers centered around the following issues : in agent communication: : : * New approaches to the semantics of agent communication, focusing : on the link between the semantics of individual messages and the : compositional semantics of agent conversations; and : : * Recent work in the specification and implementation of agent con- : versation policies, including the formal connections between poli- : cies, ACL semantics, and agent tasks. : : Over the past year or two, it has become increasingly clear that deployed : agent systems tend to take a "conversation-centric" view of agent inter- : action, rather than a "semantics-centric" view. That is, an agent's actual : use of an ACL is almost always structured around identifying and sup- : porting a known set of conversational interactions with other agents, : rather than dynamically planning the semantically coherent use of arbi- : trary ACL expressions. This has prompted a renewed interest in agent : conversation policies (CPs) and their relationship to the semantics of the : ACL messages that compose them. Therefore, in addition to the two : core topics listed above, we also solicit papers which address related : topics: : : * Formalisms for CPs, including how these formalisms are related to : the semantic theory, and the types of properties which can be proved : from the formalisms. : : * Implementation of CPs in agent systems, including negotiating and : downloading CPs dynamically. : : * Ontologies and axiomatizations of CPs and their relationship with : ACL semantic and pragmatic theory, as well as the policy-driven use : of ontologies in ACL content. : : WORKSHOP FORMAT : : The format of the workshop will be a combination of contributed pres- : entations and discussion among the participants. There will be a small : number of sessions, each focused on a specific topic selected among the : ones listed above, each including a set of brief presentations and ample : opportunities for discussion. : : SUBMISSIONS : : We encourage participants to submit a short paper (10 pages max), de- : scribing their work on one or more of the topics mentioned above. All : non-presenting participants will need to submit a one-page position : statement which presents their view on agent conversation policies rela- : tive to the workshop topics. We plan to post all accepted submissions : and position statements on the workshop's web site by 4/21/00, so that : participants may familiarize themselves with them in advance of the : workshop. Hard-copy submissions need to arrive by 3/17/00, and should : be mailed to: : : Mark Greaves : Mathematics and Computing Technology : The Boeing Company : P.O. Box 3707 MC 7L-43 : Seattle, WA 98124-2207 : USA : : Email submissions (standard postscript or MS Word) are strongly pre- : ferred, and should be sent by 3/17/00 to: : : mark.t.greaves(a)boeing.com : : All submissions must include the author's name(s), affiliation, complete : mailing address, phone number, fax number and email address. Please : be aware that accepted papers will need to be in the ACM SIG proceed- : ings format, which can be found at: : : http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html : : All accepted submissions and position statements will be published in the : workshop proceedings. : : IMPORTANT DATES : : March 17, 2000 Papers due : March 31, 2000 Notification of acceptance : April 14, 2000 Final copies of papers due for workshop proceedings; : position statements due : June 3, 2000 Workshop : : WORKSHOP LOCATION AND REGISTRATION : : The workshop will be held in the same location as Agents 2000.

[forwarded] AMCIS 2000 Mini Track on SOCIO-TECHNICAL NETWORKS
by Gustaf Neumann 01 Feb '00

01 Feb '00

Forwarded message from [rel(a)PO.CWRU.EDU] sent originally on Sun, 30 Jan 2000 05:17:39 -1000: : AMCIS 2000: Americas Conference on Information Systems : Long Beach, California : August 10th - 13th, 2000 : : Call for Papers for the Mini Track : SOCIO-TECHNICAL NETWORKS: : Emerging Issues, Conceptual Advances & Empirical Findings : : This mini track CFP solicits papers and proposals for panel : or paper sessions on Socio-Technical Networks. The mini- : track will focus on an increasingly significant aspect of : Social Informatics and Information Systems research. We : expect to receive a number of interesting submissions which : will extend our sessions and follow-on discussions about : socio-technical networks that were so well-attended in the : AIS '98 and AMCIS '99 Social Informatics mini-tracks. : (CFP will also be available at: : http://lamb.cba.hawaii.edu/stn/amcis00cfp.htm ) : : Possible Topics will include a focus in the following areas: : : SOCIO-TECHNICAL NETWORKS : Socio-technical networks refer to the interactions between : people, organizations, institutions and technologies in : rather intricate heterogeneous arrangements in which what is : "social" and what is "technical" cannot be readily isolated : in practice. Socio-technical network theories have been : applied to diverse topics, including scientific work and : engineering projects. However, they seem particularly apt : for understanding the development and use of digital : communication applications, such as email, the Internet, : intranets, electronic journals, and other collaborative : arrangements. Social Informatics researchers' revived : interest in socio-technical theorizing has been accompanied : by critical examination of existing networking theories. : Motivated, in part, by empirical study, they have begun to : put forward new and additional interpretations of socio- : technical interaction. : : SOCIAL INFORMATICS : Social Informatics is the interdisciplinary study of the : design and uses of information and communication : technologies that takes into account their interaction with : institutional and cultural contexts. SI researchers examine : various social aspects of computerization -- including the : roles of information technology in social and organizational : change, the uses of information technologies in social : contexts, and the ways that the social organization of : information technologies is influenced by social forces and : social practices. A growing body of SI research critically : examines socio-technical networking thought. For additional : information about Social Informatics, see the Social : Informatics Home Page at: http://www.slis.indiana.edu/SI : : With this mini-track CFP, we seek to attract papers and : panel discussion proposals that critically examine : variations in networking theories. We particularly welcome : those that put forward some addition or new interpretation : about socio-technical interaction, or empirical studies that : examine the social aspects of Internetworking. Examples of : this work would include studies of the Internet (Montiero & : Hanseth), intranets (Lamb), e-journals (Kling & Covi), : digital libraries and digital documents collections (Kling, : McKim, Fortuna and King), and professional networks (Sawyer, : Crowston, Wigand.) : : Specific topics of interest for this mini-track include, but : are not limited to the following: : * interpretations of the use of information and : communication technologies in groups, organizations, : and larger scale social settings : * analysis of social interactions among people developing : and/or using information technologies in vivo : * empirical examination of changes in professional : networks : * comparison of variant interpretations of socio- : technical networking theories (e.g. Latour's Actor : Network Theory) : * studies of the social shaping of networking : technologies through systems development and use : * the explanatory value of socio-technical theoretical : perspectives on production, distribution and : consumption of electronic texts : * the applicability of socio-technical models (e.g. : Bijker's Social Construction Of Technology model) to : studies of the roles of information technologies in : changing or reinforcing patterns of work-life, : community life, and the character of institutions : : Mini Track Co-Chairs: : Roberta Lamb : Decision Sciences : College of Business Administration : University of Hawaii, Manoa : 2404 Maile Way, E601-C : Honolulu, HI 96822-2223 : Tel: 1(808)956-7368 : Fax: 1(808)956-9889 : http://lamb.cba.hawaii.edu : Email: lamb(a)cba.hawaii.edu : : Steve Sawyer : Information Sciences and Technology : Pennsylvania State University : 504 Rider Building : University Park, PA 16801 : Tel: 1(814)865-4450 : Fax: 1(814)865-5608 : http://www.ist.psu.edu/html/faculty.html#sawyer : Email: sawyer(a)ist.psu.edu : : Rob Kling : Center for Social Informatics : Indiana University : School of Library and Information Science : 10th & Jordan #012 : Bloomington, IN 47405 : Tel: 1(812)855-9763 : Fax: 1(812)855-6166 : http://www.php.ucs.indiana.edu/~kling : Email: kling(a)indiana.edu : : Important Dates: : Submission of Material: March 15, 2000 : Notification of Acceptance: April 15, 2000 : Camera-Ready Copy: May 5, 2000 : Conference Registration: June 1, 2000 : : Submission Guidelines: : All submissions and inquiries are to be made to : Mini-Track Co-Chair: : Roberta Lamb : University of Hawaii, Manoa : e-mail: lamb(a)cba.hawaii.edu : : Submissions must be in English, and should represent the : original work of the authors.

Forwarded message from [zahirt(a)cs.rmit.edu.au] sent originally on Mon, 31 Jan 2000 09:06:45 +0100 (MET): : C A L L F O R P A P E R S : ============================= : ___ __ __ __ __ : | | | | | | / | || | International Symposium on : | | | | |--| | || | DISTRIBUTED OBJECTS AND APPLICATIONS : _|_| |__| | | |__||__| Antwerp, Belgium, September 21-23, 2000 : http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/conf/doa/2000/ : : Proceedings to be published by IEEE Press : : Are you building applications using distributed objects (DO)? : Are you doing research in fundamental technology, methodology or new : tools for DO? : Are you using some of the existing distributed object systems? : : Consider contributing a practice report or a research paper to this : innovative event, and to present, discuss and obtain feedback for your : ideas among other practitioners and researchers active in the same : area. : : There is increasing agreement among IT researchers and practitioners : about the importance and potential of distributed object systems and : the advances in this area made in recent years. These systems offer : many promises for use in various applications, including : telecommunications, banking applications and many other domains. DO : systems are starting to offer practical, real-life production solutions : to technical problems, including interoperability across different : software and database platforms. Distributed object systems are built : according to different paradigms and architectures, such as OMG's : CORBA, Microsoft's COM and other object request broker principles and : implementations, and contingent technologies such as SUN's Java-based : active objects, to provide a basis for building complex distributed : applications. : : The future success of DO systems will not only be dependent on how the : basic requirements (to develop open, reliable and scalable distributed : and heterogeneous applications and platforms) are met but also how the : underlying distributed object technology can be integrated with : existing complementary technologies and applications, such as WWW, : multimedia and databases. The reengineering of legacy systems may : substantially benefit from the use of DO, e.g. when turning them into : data warehouses. Further standardization of distributed object concepts : will very likely unlock many new areas of application still. : : TWO DIMENSIONS: Research & Practice : : As research in DO establishes new principles, enhancing our : understanding of the fundamental issues involved, and opening the way : to new tools and methodologies for DO, so conversely practical : experience in real-life DO projects drives the avenues of this same : research by exposing new ideas and posing new types of problems to be : solved. With the DOA Symposium we explicitly intend to provide a forum : to help this mutual interaction occur, and to trigger and foster it. : Submissions can be entered along both these dimensions: research : (theory, fundamentals, principles of DO) and practice (applications, : experience, pragmatics of DO). Contributions attempting to cross over : the gap between these two dimensions will, of course, be especially : welcome. : : As we are fully aware of the differences in environment for research : and development that exist in academia and industry, submissions from : each will be treated accordingly and judged by a peer review not only : for scientific rigor (in the case of "academic research" papers) but : for originality and generality of application (in the case of "case : studies" papers). Papers of each type will be presented in parallel : tracks at the Symposium, but with maximal opportunity for interaction : for researchers and developers working on related topics. : : To summarize, during the DOA'2000 Symposium we therefore want attendees : to be able to evaluate existing ORB middleware products; to analyze, : and propose solutions to major limitations of existing products; and to : indicate promising future research directions for distributed objects. : We are particularly interested in the evaluation of existing DO systems : and how they are used to design and to implement large scale industrial : distributed applications. We are seeking theoretical as well as : practical papers addressing innovative issues related to distributed : objects. : : TOPICS OF INTEREST : : The topics of this symposium include, but are not limited to: : : o Critique of the distributed object paradigm : o Distributed business objects : o Distributed and mobile agents : o Design patterns for distributed object design : o Database services, in particular persistency, transaction, query : and replication services : o Integration of distributed object and Web technologies : o Intelligent traders : o Interoperability-supporting environments : o Integration with database systems and interfaces : o Methodologies to develop distributed object applications : o Reintegration of legacy systems in DO environments : o Design of CORBA, COM- and Java-based broker applications : o Multimedia distributed objects : o Multicast protocols for distributed objects : o Object caching : o Reliability, fault-tolerance and recovery : o Real-time ORB middleware : o Reports on Best Practice : o Security : o Specification and enforcement of quality of service : o Standardization of distributed objects : o Wrapper libraries and wrapper implementation strategies : : IMPORTANT DATES : : Electronic submission: May 1st, 2000 : Notification of : acceptance: June 10th, 2000 : Camera-ready copies: June 30th, 2000 : Symposium: September 21-23, 2000 : : SUBMISSION DETAILS : : All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on : originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of : expression. Submissions should be clearly labeled "Research", : "Practice" or "PC discretion". All papers will be refereed by at : least three members of the program committee, and at least two : will be experts from industry in the case of practice reports. : All submissions must be in English.
