:
: - NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, USA.
: - Swiss Life AG, Switzerland.
: - IFMAS International Foundation for Multiagent Systems.
:
: It is co-located with the ICMAS-2000 conference.
:
: IMPORTANT DATES
: ===============
:
: Deadline for Paper Submission: JANUARY 24, 2000
:
: Notification of Acceptance/Rejection: March 10, 2000
: Deadline for Camera-Ready Paper: March 27, 2000
:
: WORKSHOP THEME
: ==============
:
: Information agent technology is one of the major key
: technologies for the Internet and worldwide Web. It emerged as a
: response to the challenges of the cyberspace from both, the
: technological and human user perspective.
: An information agent is a computational software entity that has
: access to one or multiple, heterogeneous and distributed information
: sources, pro-actively searches for and maintains relevant information
: on behalf of users or other agents preferably just-in-time.
: In other words, it is managing and overcoming the difficulties associated
: with information overload.
: Although low-level infrastructure has been developed to support
: interoperability between heterogeneous databases and application programs,
: this is not sufficient when dealing with higher-level object organizations
: such as vertical business object frameworks and workflows. Existing
: multi-database or federated database systems do not even support any
: kind of pro-active information discovery.
: One key challenge of advanced information systems is to balance the
: autonomy of databases and legacy systems with the potential payoff of
: leveraging them by the use of information agents to perform collaborative
: work.
: Development of information agents requires expertise from different
: research disciplines such as Artificial Intelligence (AI),
: advanced databases and knowledge base systems, distributed information
: systems, information retrieval, and Human Computer Interaction (HCI).
:
: Like in the previous CIA workshops, all hot topics in the research area
: of intelligent and collaborating information agents are covered by
: the CIA-2000 workshop.
:

: Introduction
: The characteristics of software agents such as autonomy, goal-orientedness,
: collaboration and mobility present new possibilities for the development of
: future information systems. An agent-based information system may employ
: information agents that pro-actively search for and combine relevant
: information on behalf of users or other agents from various sources. In
: e-commerce, agents automate various aspects of a business transaction such
: as price comparison, negotiation, auction, and brokerages, to name a few.
: The development of complex large-scale information systems such as
: distributed/federated databases, heterogeneous databases and semi-structured
: databases in the future are most likely to use agent technology in the
: design and implementation of various aspects of the system.
: With the increasing use of such complex and large-scale information systems
: new approaches to the design and implementation of these systems merit
: significant investigation and analysis. Multi-agent systems have been mooted
: as an important means with which to address the development of large and
: complex information systems, and provide one such approach to the problem
: above. Agent technology and multi-agent systems have arisen in an exciting
: and rapidly changing field during the last ten years, emerging from
: distributed artificial intelligence. In particular, the exponential growth
: of the internet as an enabling technology for distributed systems has
: provided an increasingly urgent need for research into issues surrounding
: the research paradigms considered in this workshop. Indeed, at this exciting
: interface between a number of fields of research, there are many open
: questions to be answered, and many problems to be solved.
: The design of systems based around multiple interacting agents requires
: expertise from a number of different research areas. A key aim of this
: interdisciplinary special session is to bring together active researchers
: from the different fields to exchange ideas discuss the many open issues
: that arise in the design, development and implementation of multi-agent
: information systems.
:
: Topics of Interest
: The special session will be concerned with a broad range of issues relating
: to the design and implementation of agent-based systems. Topics of interest
: include but are not limited to:
: agents in Internet/E-Commerce systems and applications
: agents in database systems and applications
: agent coordination and integration of activities
: agent adaptation and learning
: information agents
: mobility and Security Issues
: middle agents
: network agents
: human-agent interaction, collaboration and communication
: industrial agent systems and applications
: agent theories and languages
: agent models and architectures
:
: Submission
: Authors who wish to submit to the session should send either PostScript or
: PDF versions of their paper by email to the session chair, or else
: provide a URL for an online version of the paper. Hardcopy submission is
: possible if arranged in advance. Submissions should be no more than
: 4000 words length (approx. 10 printed pages). The first page of each
: submission should list the full contact details (including full name,
: postal address, email address, phone and fax number) of at least one author.
: All accepted papers will be published in the IC-AI'2000 proceedings
: Your paper should reach us no later than 6th March 2000.
