-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call for Workshop Proposals of WI/IAT 2009 Datum: Wed, 24 Dec 2008 14:50:56 -0000 (UTC) Von: Mounia Lalmas <mounia(a)dcs.qmul.ac.uk> Antwort an: Mounia Lalmas <mounia(a)dcs.qmul.ac.uk> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> [Apologies if you receive this more than once] ============================================================== Call for Workshop Proposals 2009 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology (WI-IAT'09) Milano, Italy, September 15-18, 2009 http://www.wi-iat09.disco.unimib.it/WI09/WIhome.htm http://www.wi-iat09.disco.unimib.it/IAT09/IAThome.htm ******************************************************************* Workshop Proposals Due: ** January 15 **, 2009 All papers accepted for workshops will be included in the Workshop Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, which are indexed by EI. =================================================================== The Program Committees of the 2009 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology (WI-IAT'09) invite proposals for Workshops. The Workshops will be held within the Conference, September 15-18, 2009 at Milano, Italy. The main goal of the WI-IAT'09 workshops is to stimulate and facilitate active exchange, interaction and comparison of approaches, methods and ideas related to specific topics, both theoretical and applied, in the general areas related to Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology. The workshops will provide an informal setting where participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics in an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange of ideas. The workshop organizers will be responsible for advertising the workshop, forming the program committees, reviewing and selecting the papers, and guaranteeing a high quality worthy of the prestige and range of the Conference. All papers accepted for workshops will be included in the Workshop Proceedings, which are expected to be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and will be available at the workshops. The workshop organizers will also have the discretion of editing selected papers (after their expansion and revision) into books or special journal issues. Workshops may be full-day or half-day. A full-day workshop should select 10-14 regular papers, while a half-day workshop should select 5-7 regular papers, from a large number of submissions. Submissions accepted as workshop papers will be allocated 4 pages in the proceedings. The workshop organizers should ensure the presence of authors of accepted papers at the workshops. Optionally, the workshop may be started or concluded by a panel focusing on interesting aspects, controversial issues, or unsolved problems to stimulate lively, thoughtful, and thought-provoking debate; we expect the workshop organizers to actively engage the audience and help them gain a deeper understanding of the issues. The goal of a panel is to debate and thus panels should always reflect more than one point of view. *** Workshop Topics Each workshop subject will focus on new research challenges and initiatives in Web Intelligence (WI) and Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT). The workshops should provide an informal and vibrant forum for researchers and industry practitioners to share their research results and practical development experiences in these two fields. Suggested workshop topics include, but are not limited to: - Web Intelligence, Brain Informatics and Cognition-inspired Computing - Intelligent e-Technology (including e-Science, e-Business, e-Learning, e-Finance, e-Government, e-Community) - Intelligent Web Interaction - Knowledge Grids and Grid Intelligence - Semantics and Ontology Engineering - Social Networks and Social Intelligence - Web Agents - Web Information Filtering and Retrieval - Web Mining and Farming - Web Monitoring and Change - Web Personalization and Recommendations - Web Scale Reasoning - Web Security, Integrity, Privacy and Trust - Web Services and Grid Services - Web Support Systems - World Wide Wisdom Web (W4) - Intelligent Web Querying - Agent Systems Modeling and Methodology - Autonomous Knowledge and Information Agents - Autonomous Auctions and Negotiation - Autonomy-Oriented Computing (AOC) - Learning and Self-Adapting Agents - Agents and Data Mining Interaction - Multiagent Systems in e-Business *** Workshop Proposal Submission Workshop proposals should include the following elements: - Title of the workshop - The organizers name, affiliation, mailing address and e-mail address - A description of the topic of the workshop (not exceeding 200 words) - Type of the workshop (full-day or half-day) - A description of how the workshop will contribute to the field of Web Intelligence and/or Intelligent Agent Technology - A short description on how the workshop will be advertised so as to ensure a sufficiently wide range of authors and high quality papers - Optionally, only for full-day workshops, the title of a proposed panel, with a brief description highlighting the reasons of interest of the issues to be debated After the acceptance of a workshop proposal the organizer(s) should: - Create a Call for papers/participation for the workshop - Create a Web page for the workshop, the link of which will be published on the Conference Web site - Create a Board of Reviewers (Program Committee) - Review and select papers - Schedule the workshop activities. Those papers selected by a workshop organizer will also be reviewed by the Workshop Co-Chairs for final acceptance. All submitted papers will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity. We will provide an online paper submission and review system to support the workshops. *** Important Dates - Workshop proposal submission due: January 15, 2009 - Notification to workshop proposers: January 25, 2009 - Each Workshop Organizer Sends out Call for Workshops Papers: February 5, 2009 - Due date for full workshop papers submission (4 pages): April 30, 2009 - Final acceptance by Workshop Co-Chairs: June 10, 2009 - Notification of paper acceptance to authors: June 8, 2009 - Camera-ready of accepted papers: June 30, 2009 - Workshop day: September 15, 2009 *** Workshop proposal submissions The above described workshop proposals must be submitted via e-mail (workshops.wi.iat(a)gmail.com).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] IEEE TKDE Special Issue: 2nd Call for Contributions Datum: Tue, 23 Dec 2008 18:29:38 +0100 Von: Adrian Paschke <paschke(a)in.tum.de> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Dear Colleagues, Please find below the 2nd CFP for a special issue we are organizing for the IEEE TKDE on Rule Representation, Interchange and Reasoning in Distributed, Heterogeneous Environments. Best Regards, Nick Bassiliades, Guido Governatori, Adrian Paschke, Juergen Dix =========================================================================== [ our apologies should you receive this message more than one time ] =========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS Rule Representation, Interchange and Reasoning in Distributed, Heterogeneous Environments Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering Guest Editors: N. Bassiliades, G. Governatori, A. Paschke, J. Dix =========================================================================== In recent years rule based technologies have enjoyed remarkable adoption in two areas: (1) Business Rule Processing and (2) Web-Centered Reasoning. The first trend is caused by the software development life cycle, which needs to be accelerated at reduced cost. The second trend is related to the Semantic Web and Service-oriented technologies, which aim to turn the Web into a huge repository of cross-referenced, machine-understandable data and processes. For both trends, rules can be used to extract, derive, transform, and integrate information in a platform-independent manner. While early rule engines and environments were complex, expensive to maintain, and not very user friendly, the current generation of rule technology provides enhanced usability, scalability and performance, and is less costly. A general advantage of using rules is that they are usually represented in a platform independent manner, often using XML. This fits well into today’s distributed, heterogeneous Web-based system environments. Rules represented in standardized Web formats can be discovered, interchanged and invoked at runtime within and across Web systems, and can be interpreted and executed on any platform. This special issue solicits state-of-the-art approaches, solutions and applications in the area of Rule Representation, Reasoning and Interchange in the context of distributed, (partially) open, heterogeneous environments, such as the Semantic Web, Intelligent Multi-Agent Systems, Event-Driven Architectures and Service-Oriented Computing. We strongly advise that solicited contributions should clearly identify the target class of applications they enable. ======= Topics ======= Original contributions, not currently under review or accepted by another journal, are solicited in relevant areas including (but not limited to) the following: - Rule Representation and Languages * Rule languages for exchanging and processing information through the web * Representation and meta-annotation of rules and rule sets for publication and interchange * Event-driven/action rule languages and models * Rule-based event processing languages and rule-based complex event processing * Modeling of executable rule specifications and tool support * Natural-language processing of rules * Graphical processing, modeling and rendering of rules * Rules in web 2.0, web 3.0, semantic web technologies and web intelligence research - Reasoning and Rule Engines * Execution models, rule engines, and environments * Rule-based (multi-valued) reasoning with and representing uncertain and fuzzy information * Rule-based reasoning with non-monotonic negation, modalities, deontic, temporal, priority, scoped or other rule qualifications * Rule-based default reasoning with default logic, defeasible logic, and answer set programming * Compilation vs. interpretation approaches of rules * Hybrid rule systems - Rule Interchange and Integration * Interchange and refactoring of rule bases in heterogeneous execution environments * Rule-based agility and its role in middleware * Communication between rule based systems using interchange formats and processing / communication middleware * Information integration of external data and domain knowledge into rules * Homogeneous and heterogeneous integration of rules and ontologies * Extraction and reengineering of platform-independent, interchangeable rules and rule models from existing platform-specific resources * Rule interchange standards and related industry interchange formats * Incorporation of rule technology into distributed enterprise application architectures * Interoperation between different rule formats and ontological domain conceptualization * Translation of interchangeable and domain-independent rule formats and rule models into executable technical rule specifications - Rule Engineering and Repositories * Verification and validation of interchanged rule bases in heterogeneous execution environments * Practical solutions tackling the real-world software engineering requirements of rule-based systems in open, distributed environments * Collaborative authoring, modeling and engineering of rule specifications and rule repositories * Management and maintenance of distributed rule bases and rule repositories during their lifecycle - Web Rule Applications * Applications and integration of rules in web standards * Applications of rules in the semantic web and pragmatic web * Applications based on (semantic) web rule standardization or standards-proposing efforts * Applications of rules in e.g. legal reasoning, compliance rules, security, government, security, risk management, trust and proof reasoning, etc. * E-contracting and automated negotiations with rule-based declarative strategies * Specification, execution and management of rule-based policies and electronic contracts * Rule-based software agents and (web) services * Theoretical and/or empirical evaluation of rule-based system performance and scalability ======================= Submission Guidelines ======================= Prospective authors should prepare manuscripts according to the Information for Authors as published in recent issues of the journal or at http://www.computer.org/tkde/. Note that mandatory over-length page charges and color charges will apply. Manuscripts should be submitted through the online IEEE manuscript submission system at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cs-ieee.

In general, automated negotiations between agents can be in many different contexts. For instance, designing agents that can negotiate deals on behalf of human traders is essential for developing the next generation of e-commerce and e-trading systems, since there are a lot of factors that characterize such negotiations. These factors include the number of issues, dependency between issues, representation of utility, negotiation protocols, negotiation forms (bilateral or multi-party), time constraints, etc. Software agents can support automation or simulation of such complex negotiations on the behalf of their owners, and provide them with adequate bargaining strategies. In many multi-issue bargaining settings, negotiation becomes more than a zero-sum game, so bargaining agents have an incentive to cooperate in order to achieve efficient win-win agreements. Also, in a complex negotiation, there could be multiple issues that are interdependent. Thus, agent's utility will become more complex than simple utility functions. Further, negotiation forms and protocols could be different between bilateral situations and multi-party situations. This special issue hopes to bring together researchers working in the broad areas of agent negotiation, multi-issue negotiations, auctions, mechanism design, electronic commerce, Grid resource management, and co-operation mechanisms. It serves to provide a forum for researchers to present their results and to highlight recent research achievements in the areas. Topics include but are not limited to: * Negotiation Protocols * Multi-Issue Negotiations * Concurrent, Multiple, and Sequential Negotiations * Bilateral Negotiations * Multilateral Negotiation * Negotiation and Coordination Mechanisms * Negotiation under Asymmetric Information * Large Scale Negotiation * Matchmaking and Brokering Mechanisms * Coordination for Local and Global Consistency * 2-sided Matching * Predicting Opponent's Behaviours in Negotiation. * Utility Models and Preference Models * Complexity Aspects of Multi-issue Negotiation * Negotiation Simulation *The deadline for submission:* March 30, 2009 Inquiries and manuscripts should be sent to one of the Guest Editors: Minjie Zhang < minjie(a)uow.edu.au> or Takayuki Ito <ito.takayuki(a)nitech.ac.jp>.

Building complex agent systems calls for models and technologies that en- sure predictability, allow for the verification of properties, and guarantee flexibility. Developing technologies that can sat- isfy these requirements still poses an important and difficult challenge. Here, declarative approaches have the potential of of- fering solutions satisfying the needs for both specifying and de- veloping multiagent systems. Moreover, they are gaining more and more attention in important application areas such as the seman- tic web, service-oriented computing, security, and electronic contracting. For instance, some convergence points between the areas of formal methods for dealing with web services and formal methods for agents are emerging and gaining more and more atten- tion. DALT 2009 will be held as a satellite workshop of AAMAS 2009, the 8th International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Mul- tiagent Systems, in May 2009 in Budapest, Hungary. Following the success of six previous editions, DALT will again aim at provid- ing a discussion forum to both (i) support the transfer of declarative paradigms and techniques to the broader community of agent researchers and practitioners, and (ii) to bring the issue of designing complex agent systems to the attention of re- searchers working on declarative languages and technologies. ***************************************************************** TOPICS OF INTEREST ***************************************************************** DALT topics of interest include, but are not limited to: General themes: * specification of agents and multiagent systems * declarative approaches to engineering agent systems Formal techniques: * (constraint) logic programming approaches to agent systems * distributed constraint satisfaction * modal and epistemic logics for agent modelling * verification of agents and multiagent systems * formal semantics for agent programming languages and frameworks Declarative models: * declarative models of agent beliefs, goals and capabilities * declarative models of bounded rationality * declarative paradigms for the combination of heterogeneous agents * declarative approaches to organizations and electronic institutions * agent-inspired declarative approaches to web services or service-oriented architectures Applications of declarative techniques to: * agents and the semantic web * service-oriented multiagent systems * agent communication and coordination languages * protocol specification and conformance checking * description of contracts and negotiation policies * security and trust in multiagent systems Evaluation of declarative approaches: * experimental analysis of declarative agent technologies * industrial experiences with declarative agent technologies ***************************************************************** SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ***************************************************************** We welcome and encourage the submission of high-quality, original papers, which are not being submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. Papers should be written in English, formatted according to the Springer LNCS style, and not exceed 16 pages. Paper submission is electronic via the conference website. ***************************************************************** WORKSHOP PROCEEDINGS ***************************************************************** Printed copies of the proceedings will be available at the workshop. Assuming a sufficient number of high-quality submissions, we are again going to consider the publication of formal post-proceedings with an international publisher. The post-proceedings of DALT 2003 (LNAI 2990), DALT 2004 (LNAI 3476), DALT 2005 (LNAI 3904), DALT 2006 (LNAI 4327), DALT 2007 (LNAI 4897), and DALT 2008 (LNAI 5397) have been or will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelli- gence series. ***************************************************************** IMPORTANT DATES (tentative!) ***************************************************************** Submission Deadline: 25 January 2009 Notification of Acceptance/Rejection: 25 February 2009 Camera Ready Due: 5 March 2009 Workshop: 11 or 12 May 2009 ***************************************************************** PROGRAMME COMMITTEE (to be completed) ***************************************************************** Thomas Agotnes (Bergen University College, Norway) Marco Alberti (University of Ferrara, Italy) Natasha Alechina (University of Nottingham, UK) Cristina Baroglio (University of Torino, Italy) Rafael Bordini (University of Durham, UK) Jan Broersen (University of Utrecht, The Netherlands) Federico Chesani (University of Bologna, Italy) Amit Chopra (North Carolina State University, USA) Keith Clark (Imperial College London, UK) James Harland (RMIT University, Australia) Andreas Herzig (Paul Sabatier University, France) Shinichi Honiden (National Institute of Informatics, Japan) Yves Lesperance (York University, Canada) Alessio Lomuscio (Imperial College London, UK) Viviana Mascardi (University of Genova, Italy) Nicolas Maudet (University of Paris-Dauphine, France) John-Jules Meyer (University of Utrecht, NL) Peter Novak (Clausthal University of Technology, Germany) Enrico Pontelli (New Mexico State University, USA) Chiaki Sakama (Wakayama University, Japan) Guillermo Simari (Universidad Nacional del Sur, Argentina) Tran Cao Son (New Mexico State University, USA) Eugenia Ternovska (Simon Fraser University, Canada) Wamberto Vasconcelos (University of Aberdeen, UK) Marina De Vos (University of Bath, UK) Michael Winikoff (RMIT University, Australia) ***************************************************************** ORGANISING COMMITTEE ***************************************************************** Matteo Baldoni (University of Torino, Italy) Jamal Bentahar (Concordia University, Canada) John Lloyd (Australian National University, Australia) M.
