: ANTS'2000 - From Ant Colonies to Artificial Ants: Second International
: Workshop on Ant Algorithms
:
: Brussels, Belgium, September 8-9, 2000
:
: CALL FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACTS (up-to-date information on the workshop
: is maintained at http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~ants/ants2000/)
:
: SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP
:
: The behavior of social insects in general, and of ant colonies in
: particular, has since long time fascinated researchers in ethology and
: animal behavior, who have proposed many models to explain their
: capabilities. Recently, ant algorithms have been proposed as a novel
: computational model that replaces the traditional emphasis on control,
: preprogramming, and centralization with designs featuring autonomy,
: emergence, and distributed functioning. These designs are proving
: flexible and robust, able to adapt quickly to changing environments
: and to continue functioning even when individual elements fail.
:
: A particularly successful research direction in ant algorithms, known
: as "ant colony optimization", is dedicated to their application to
: discrete optimization problems. Ant colony optimization has been
: applied successfully to a large number of difficult combinatorial
: problems like the quadratic assignment and the traveling salesman
: problems, to routing in telecommunications networks, to scheduling
: problems, and so on. ANTS'2000 is the second edition of the only
: event entirely devoted to ant algorithms and to ant colony
: optimization. Also of great interest to the workshop are models of ant
: colonies behavior which could stimulate new algorithmic approaches.
:
: The aims are to give researchers in both real ants behavior and in ant
: colony optimization an opportunity to meet, to present their latest
: research, and to discuss current developments and applications. The
: two-day event will be held in Brussels, Belgium, from September 8 to
: September 9, 2000. In the evening of September 7 there will be a
: tutorial on ant algorithms.
:
: RELEVANT RESEARCH AREAS
:
: Submissions are invited that describe:
:
: (1) Models of aspects of real ant colonies behavior that can stimulate
: new algorithmic approaches,
:
: (2) Empirical and theoretical research in ant algorithms and ant
: colony optimization.
:
: (3) Application of ant algorithms and ant colony optimization methods
: to real-world problems.
:
: SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
:
: Papers can be submitted either as extended abstracts or as full
: papers. The length should be of approximately 4 or 10 pages
: respectively.
:
: Formatting and submission instructions are provided at
: http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~ants/ants2000/ants2000-submission.html.
:
: Accepted papers will be published in a booklet that is to be
: distributed to workshop participants. We are now investigating the
: possibility of publishing the best papers as a journal special issue.
: In this case, a further call for full papers, that may be longer than
: the 10 pages workshop format, will be released.
:
: All accepted papers will be presented at the workshop as
: oral presentations or as a poster.
:
: REGISTRATION AND FURTHER INFORMATION

:
: AGENT TECHNOLOGIES AND THEIR APPLICATION SCENARIOS IN LOGISTICS
: (http://www.tzi.de/ecai00-mas)
:
: To be held at the
: 14th European Conference on
: Artificial Intelligence (ECAI-2000)
: August 20th-25th, 2000
: Berlin, Germany
: -------------------------------------------------------------------
: Important Dates
:
: Title and abstract: February 15th, 2000
: Full Paper: March 31st, 2000
: Notification: May 2nd, 2000
: Camera-Ready-Version: May 31st, 2000
:
: -------------------------------------------------------------------
:
: The workshop "Agent Technologies and Their Application Scenarios"
: is a one-day event that will be held at the occasion of ECAI-2000
: in Berlin, Germany. This workshop aims to narrow the gap between
: fundamental agent research and application of intelligent agents
: in logistics. It should significantly contribute to the
: implementation processes of agent technologies for real-life
: logistics systems by the discussion of current technologies,
: including their benefits, challenges, and obstacles.
:
: -------------------------------------------------------------------
: Introduction
:
: Multiagent systems and intelligent agents have become one of the
: most promising software technologies during the last decades.
: As agents are objects enhanced with additional features their
: application potential exceeds the one of traditional OO-concepts
: leading to the use of "intelligent" objects in software
: engineering. The engineering aspects of this technology have not
: been realized yet, nor have they been satisfyingly considered.
: Therefore, only a small number of concepts, methodologies and
: large-scale scenarios for adequate applications of multiagent
: systems in the industry are available up to now. For the
: long-term success of intelligent agents and multiagent systems
: it is absolutely necessary to transfer research results into
: commercial applications. A very promising field of application
: is logistics - because of its inherent complexity that cannot
: simply be overcome by conventional approaches-, esp. information
: and products logistics.
: This workshop aims at bringing together researchers and (potential)
: users, their concepts, scenarios, hopes, and ideas related to agent
: technology, and to identify new application domains and work to be
: done in future.
:
: -------------------------------------------------------------------
: Topics
:
: * Theoretical and methodological foundations of multiagent systems
: * Identification, modeling, simulation, and formal representation
: of real-world business scenarios in logistics concerning either
: manufacturing or health care
: * Further improvements of agent technology in the context of
: well-defined problems of the logistical domain
: * Business- and market-related impacts of agent technologies
: * Mutual influences of evolving business standards, e.g., Jini and
: XML, and their fruitful merging with existing agent technology
: standards
:
: -------------------------------------------------------------------
: Submission Details
:
: The scientific program will consist of presentations of accepted
: papers and panel discussions. You are invited to submit a paper
: according the following recommendations:
:
: Electronic submissions are solicited in Tex, Latex, PostScript,
: PDF or Word97/2000 format. The papers, starting with title,
: authors's names, addresses, phone and fax numbers, and email
: addresses, followed by keywords, and concluding with relevant
: bibliographic references, should fit on 4 to 10 single-spaced
: typewritten A4 or 8.5x11 inch pages (about 5000 words), in the
: form of an extended abstract or complete research, survey or
: position paper. Selection of participants will be based on
: relevance to the indicated focus of the workshop, clarity of
: the work submitted, and the strength of the research.
:
: Submit to: i.timm(a)tzi.uni-bremen.de (please use zip or g-zip) or
: send three paper copies of the paper to: University of Bremen,

: CAiSE*00 Workshop on
:
: Infrastructures for Dynamic Business-to-Business Service Outsourcing (IDSO'00)
:
: Stockholm, 5 or 6 June 2000
:
: Call for Position Papers and Participation
: (http://www.zurich.ibm.com/~hlu/ISDB2BO/)
:
: OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE
:
: The objective of the workshop is to provide a platform to discuss models
: and technologies for service outsourcing. The emphasis of the workshop will
: be on the integration of the dynamic establishment, set-up, and enactment of
: service relationships that connect the business processes of service providers
: and consumers, establishing virtual enterprises.
:
: Now-a-days, many production companies integrate their procurement processes
: using online marketplaces and network-based supply chain management systems.
: However, this is not the case for the service industry. While many service
: organisations have already automated their internal business process management
: (e.g. using workflow management systems, enterprise resource planning (ERP)
: systems, for example), service marketplaces remain an uncommon phenomenon. The
: reason for this is that the integration of service sales, service enactment,
: and customer interaction with the service process still appears to be highly
: difficult. This is particularly the case where complex services, such as
: insurance and complex logistics for example, involve considerable customer
: interaction.
:
: The integration of virtual marketplace service procurement/sales with
: configuration and enactment of dynamic, interactive business processes raises
: many issues that have to be addressed:
:
: - Contract Establishment: How to establish contracts which describe services
: in terms of their functionality, quality guarantees, the customer support
: facilities, etc. in a manner which facilitates the advertising and searching
: for compatible services?
: - Fulfillment Policy: How to describe enactment policies, how to specify the
: fulfillment policy for quality guarantees?
: - Service Set-up and Configuration: How to exploit the contracts when setting
: up the infrastructure in the consumer and provider organisations?
: - Backend Integration: How to integrate the market related activities with the
: core business process systems?
: - Consumer Interaction: How to facilitate the management of outsourced services
: by the service consumer?
: - Assessment: How to evaluate whether the service was profitable, successful
: (post execution)?
: - Conflict Handling: How to resolve conflicts and disputes about service
: fulfillment?
:
: Some of these issues are being addressed in a domain specific manner (e.g.
: telecommunication industry). Furthermore, some existing solutions which
: address part of the problem cannot inter-operate with other existing solutions.
: What appears to be lacking is an integrated approach to the problem.
:
: The purpose of this workshop therefore is to:
:
: - Get an overview of ongoing projects and upcoming products.
: - Compile requirements for integrated service outsourcing infrastructures.
: - See whether existing standards help address the problems.
: - Learn from the experience of successful or unsuccessful deployments.
: - Serve as a starting point for community-building activities in this field.
:
: INTENDED PARTICIPANTS
:
: Researchers and professionals from academia and industry that are working in
: the fields of electronic marketplaces, ontologies, description languages,
: electronic catalogues, workflow and other business process management systems,
: service gateways, or related subjects.
:
: SUBMISSION OF POSITION PAPERS AND PUBLICATION
:
: Participants are required to submit a position paper outlining results or work
: in progress, or experience reports.
:
: Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
: - Electronic service marketplaces.
: - Service description languages.
: - Electronic contract representation.
: - Electronic contract signing.
: - Electronic service catalogues.
: - Service gateways.
: - Service configuration.
: - QoS measurement and management.
: - Integration with ERP systems.
: - Integration with other service enactment management system platforms.
: - Integration with Workflow management systems.
: - Business and legal issues of service outsourcing.
: - Interactive service management by the service consumer.
:
: Position paper must not exceed 2500 words. Depending on the quality, a summary
: of the workshop and the most interesting (or all) position papers will be
: published in a journal.
