-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] RRS2007 call for papers Datum: Tue, 05 Jun 2007 09:24:33 +1000 Von: MinJie Zhang <minjie(a)uow.edu.au> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> The 3rd International Workshop on Rational, Robust, and Secure Negotiations in Multi-Agent Systems (RRS2007) (http://longwood.mta.nitech.ac.jp/RRS2007/) Nov 2 - 5, 2007, Silicon Valley, US. To be held at the 2007 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology (WI/IAT07) IMPORTANT DATES June 20, 2007: Due date for full workshop papers submission August 2, 2007: Notification of paper acceptance to authors August 17, 2007: Camera-ready of accepted papers November 2-5, 2007: Workshops Overview Negotiation mechanisms have been studied widely in the field of multi-agent systems. They possess a variety of features that enable agents be negotiate with each other even in open environments. However, mainly due to limited computational power, there are several assumptions that traditionally limit the degree of openness. Recent studies have tented to focus on completely open and highly uncertain environments that apply agent systems to the real world. For example, in emergency rescue domains, we cannot expect to know when and where a fire starts and when humans are likely to be injured. Also, in Internet auctions, there can be shill bids since there are many unauthenticated participants. Nowadays, we can employ machines with large computational power to compute an optimal way for agents to negotiate, even in completely open and highly uncertain environments. For the practical use of multi-agent systems in the real world, the reliability of each agent's behavior is essentially required. Concretely, agents must obtain the most appropriate solution/solutions based on rational, robust, and secure negotiation among multiple agents even if the environment is intractable. We solicit papers on all aspects of such negotiation mechanisms in multi-agent systems, including but not limited to: * Multi-Issue Negotiations * Concurrent, Multiple and Sequential Negotiations * Strategy-proof and Incentive Compatible Mechanisms * Rational Argumentation among Agents * Efficient mechanisms for trading * Negotiation and Coordination Mechanisms * Robust Protocols under Asymmetric Information * False-name-proof and Shill-bid-proof Mechanisms * Robust Negotiation Mechanisms under Massive Multi-agent Systems * Secure Protocols for E-Commerce * Auctions and Voting * Rational Negotiation among Non-linear Utility Agents * Robust Matchmaking and Brokering Mechanisms * Robust Coordination Mechanism for Local and Global Consistency * Theory for Rationality/Robustness/Security in Multi-agent Systems These issues are being explored by researchers from different communities in Multi-Agent systems. They are, for instance, being studied in agent negotiation, multi-issue negotiations, auctions, mechanism design, electronic commerce, voting, secure protocols, matchmaking & brokering, argumentation, and co-operation mechanisms. This workshop will bring together researchers from these communities to learn about each other's approaches, form long-term collaborations, and cross-fertilize the different areas to accelerate progress towards scaling up to larger and more realistic applications. Invited Talks We will invite some distinguished speakers. Formatting guidelines The length of papers should NOT exceed 4 pages (IEEE-CS format, extra payment is only available for one more extra page). This is one of the WI-IAT 2007 regulations. Submission procedure We require on-line submission through RRS2007 home page. If you cannot send your paper by online submission systems, please send your paper by e-mail. Multiple submission policy for papers: Papers that are being submitted to other conferences (including IAT/WI), whether verbatim or in essence, must reflect this fact on the title page. Papers that do not meet this requirement are subject to rejection without review. Each paper needs to be reviewed by at least two PC members or experts in the field. Publication All accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Also, all accepted papers may be published as a post-proceedings volume from Springer. Further, we are planning to publish the selected papers on a special issue in IEEE Transactions or other high levle Journal. Award We will be awarding one best student presentation.

It will provide opportunities for technical collaboration beyond that of previous conferences. The four conferences will have a joint opening, keynote, reception, and banquet. Attendees only need to register for one conference and can attend workshops, sessions and tutorials across the four conferences. We are also planning a joint panel and joint paper sessions that discuss common problems in the four areas. IAT 2007 provides a leading international forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse fields, such as computer science, information technology, business, education, human factors, systems engineering, and robotics, to (1) examine the design principles and performance characteristics of various approaches in intelligent agent technology, and (2) increase the cross-fertilization of ideas on the development of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems among different domains. By encouraging idea-sharing and discussions on the underlying logical, cognitive, physical, and sociological foundations as well as the enabling technologies of intelligent agents, IAT 2007 will foster the development of novel paradigms and advanced solutions in agent-based computing. +++++++++++ Highlights +++++++++++ The conference will be held in Silicon Valley, California. Many high-tech companies and three distinguished universities (Stanford, UC Berkely and UCSC) are just around the corner. The highlight of the conference is that a unique forum consisting of a half-day demo session and free discussion will be organized to link industries and academics. Leading IT companies like IBM, Google, and Yahoo etc will present at the conference. The area now known as Silicon Valley has been a center of technological development since the 1950's. The name Silicon Valley stems from the early 1970's, when the area had become the center for many semiconductor companies.
