AIMS & SCOPE
The German conference on Multi-agent system TEchnologieS (MATES)
provides an interdisciplinary forum for researchers, users (members of
business and industry) and developers, to present and discuss latest
advances in research work, as well as prototyped or fielded systems of
intelligent agents. The conference covers the whole range from theory to
application of agent- and multi-agent technologies in order to promote
theory and application of agents and multi-agent systems. The conference
features an exhibition of practical applications with an advanced
concept of agency, as well as introductory and expert keynotes/tutorials
on practical aspects of agent-based computing.
For the second time the German special interest group on Distributed
Artificial Intelligence jointly with the steering committee of MATES
organizes this international conference in order to promote theory and
application of agents and multi-agent systems. Building on the sequence
of agent-related events in Germany in the past such as VDI 1998
(Chemnitz), VertIS 2001 (Bamberg), and KI 2002 (Aachen), the MATES
conference series now is exclusively devoted to agents and multi-agent
systems, and the cross-fertilization between agent theory and
application. MATES’04 is conducted as an integral part of the fifth
international conference NetObject Days 2004 in an exciting joint event.
The conference language is English.
Moreover, it is co-located with other agent-related events, especially
the 8th International Woprkshop on Cooperative Information Agents (CIA)
2004 (http://www.dfki.de/~klusch/cia2004/index.html), and the autumn
FIPA (Foundation of Intelligent Physical Agents (www.FIPA.org)) meeting.
Finally, it is intended to exhibit and present the most relevant agent
platforms and real-world agent-based applications.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
The topics of interest for MATES'04 include, but are not limited to:
• Agent architectures and multi-agent platforms
• Agents for e-business and e-government
• Agents in novel applications, e.g. bioinformatics and the semantic web

Subject: Call For Papers - ICCS2004
Date: Saturday 13 December 2003 18:03
From: "Heather D. Pfeiffer" <hdp(a)cs.nmsu.edu>
To: www-rdf-interest(a)w3.org
Cc: hdp(a)maverick.cs.nmsu.edu
HI. This is the call for papers for ICCS2004. Please feel free
to forward it to any and all people that you think would be
interested :-)
-Heather, Karl Erich and Harry
CALL FOR PAPERS
ICCS 2004
12th International Conference on Conceptual Structures:
Conceptual Structures at Work
July 19 - 23, 2004, Huntsville, Alabama
<http://concept.cs.uah.edu/>
* Aims and Scope
The International Conferences on Conceptual Structures (ICCS) has been
held annually in Europe, Australia, and North America since 1993. The
central focus is the formal representation and analysis of conceptual
knowledge with research and business applications focusing on
artificial intelligence, computational linguistics, and related areas
of computer science.
Historically, a group of researchers working on the theory and
applications of Conceptual Graphs founded the ICCS. Over the years,
they have broadened the scope to include a wider range of theories,
among them Formal Concept Analysis, Description Logics, Situation
Theory, Discourse Representation Theory, and related techniques.
Papers for ICCS 2004 are invited on the following topics: conceptual
structures (theory, applications, and experience with case studies);
their interplay with language, semantics and pragmatics; formal
methods for concept analysis and contextual logic, modeling,
representation, and visualization of concepts; conceptual knowledge
acquisition; and the theory and applications of formal
ontologies. Comparisons of methods and representations on the basis of
reasoning ability, expressiveness, ease of use, and computational
performance are welcome. Integration of methodologies, user
interfaces, knowledge use, reuse, and integration, and business
product tools descriptions are all of high interest at ICCS
2004. Papers on the ICCS 2004 theme of "Conceptual Structures at Work"
are particularly encouraged. The conference will focus on applications
of conceptual structures in knowledge processing in practice oriented
fields, mainly in all kinds of industrial applications, with special
emphasize on practically successful conceptual formalizations.
Of special interest is the question to which extent formal
representations of conceptual structures can support human
communication and knowledge creation. Papers which discuss such
research or applications in the area of bringing together Formal
Concept Analysis and Contextual Logic, Conceptual Graphs, formal
ontologies within the Semantic Web or other areas are strongly
encouraged, as well as papers linking conceptual structures to other
fields or applications.
Authors are invited to submit papers describing both theoretical and
practical research. Papers accepted or under review by other
conferences or journals are not acceptable as submissions to ICCS. The
language of the conference will be English.
* Authors' Information
Papers are limited to 14 pages in Springer's format. We strongly
recommend the use of LaTeX2e for the final version. For more details
see <http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html>.
Position papers (2 pages) are also welcome.
For all papers, a one page abstract in PostScript or PDF format must
be received by Monday December 29, 2003. Abstracts should clearly state
the purpose, results and conclusions of the work to be described in
the final paper.
The electronic submission of the full paper in Postscript or PDF
format must be received on or before Friday, January 9, 2004. Submit
your abstract and your paper via email to Heather D. Pfeiffer
(hdp(a)cs.nmsu.edu) with ICCS2004 in the subject line. Please include
your name and your full address. In case you have problems with
electronic submission, contact Harry Delugach as early as possible. An
address is given below.
Final acceptance will be based on the full-length paper, which if
accepted, must be presented at the conference. Papers accepted for
publication will appear in the Lecture Notes in Artificial
Intelligence Series by Springer-Verlag. Position papers and papers
which are not included in the LNAI volume , but are of sufficient
quality and interest to the community, will be published in
supplementary proceedings. A precondition for publication (for all
papers) is that the final version is in full compliance with
Springer's format.
* Call for Workshop Proposals
Workshop proposals for ICCS 2004 are invited on any of the areas of
interest to the Conceptual Structures community, including specialized
sub-areas. Previous workshops have included CG tools, PORT Pragmatic
Web and Concept lattice-based Knowledge Discovery. The deadline for
submission of workshop proposals to the Program Chair Heather

Web Intelligence (WI) has been recognized as a new direction for
scientific research and development to explore the fundamental roles
as well as practical impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) (e.g.,
knowledge representation, planning, knowledge discovery and data
mining, intelligent agents, and social network intelligence) and
advanced Information Technology (IT) (e.g., wireless networks,
ubiquitous devices, social networks, wisdom Web, and data/knowledge
grids) on the next generation of Web-empowered products, systems,
services, and activities. It is one of the most important as well as
promising IT research fields in the era of Web and agent intelligence.
The 2004 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence
(WI'04) will be jointly held with the 2004 IEEE/WIC/ACM International
Conference on Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT'04
http://www.maebashi-it.org/IAT04). The IEEE/WIC/ACM 2004 joint
conferences are sponsored and organized by IEEE Computer Society
Technical Committee on Computational Intelligence (TCCI)
(http://www.cs.uvm.edu/~xwu/tcci/index.shtml), Web Intelligence
Consortium (WIC) (http://wi-consortium.org), and ACM-SIGART
(http://www.acm.org/sigart/).
Following the great successes of WI'01 held in Maebashi City, Japan
and WI'03 held in Halifax, Canada, WI 2004 provides a leading
international forum for researchers and practitioners (1) to present
the state-of-the-art of WI technologies; (2) to examine performance
characteristics of various approaches in Web-based intelligent
information technology; and (3) to cross-fertilize ideas on the
development of Web-based intelligent information systems among
different domains. By idea-sharing and discussions on the underlying
foundations and the enabling technologies of Web intelligence, WI 2004
will capture current important developments of new models, new
methodologies and new tools for building a variety of embodiments of
Web-based intelligent information systems.
