Cross-conference Workshop at 2002 International Conference on Internet Computing 2002 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence
June 24-27, 2002 Monte-Carlo Resort, LAS-VEGAS, USA
TOPICS: Regardless of economical situation, efficiency is always a top goal in conducting business. Automation can help us to carry out business in a fast, low-cost, and effective way with minimal human involvement. AGENT technology is one of the most promising tools to implement BUSINESS AUTOMATION autonomously, intelligently, and efficiently. The goals of these sessions are to gather academic as well as industrial researchers to exchange new ideas and experiences, to initialize new connections toward future cooperation or to strengthen existing collaborations.
Based on the last year event we plan to have two tracks at two conferences: IC-AI-2002 and IC-IC-2002 (*) Track-A: (at IC-IC-2002) " INTERNET Agents for Business Automation " (*) Track-B: (at IC-AI-2002) " INTELLIGENT Agents for Business Automation"
We welcome papers on formalism, frameworks, architectures, algorithms, protocols, design, evaluation (performance, QoS, security), implementation techniques, and applications for business agent-based systems. For subtopics please visit: http://cs.newpaltz.edu/~pham/ABA-02/
PUBLICATION: Accepted papers will be published in the INTERNET COMPUTING Conference Proceeding and the ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Conference Proceeding by CSREA Press (ISBN) in hard copy. Selected papers (with extension and revision) will be considered for journal publication. Last year, 8 papers of our sessions were chosen to be published in a special issue of the International Journal of E-commerce Research by the Kluwer publisher.
