##################################################################### IEEE/WIC/ACM Intelligent Agent Technology 2010 CALL FOR PAPERS #####################################################################
2010 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT-10)
August 31 - September 3, 2010, York University, Toronto, Canada
Sponsored By IEEE Computer Society Web Intelligence Consortium (WIC) Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)
################################################################## # Papers Due: *** March 26, 2010 *** # Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings # by the IEEE Computer Society Press, which is indexed by EI. ##################################################################
IAT 2010 will provide a leading international forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse fields, such as computer science, information technology, business, education, 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 2010 will foster the development of novel paradigms and advanced solutions in agent-based computing.
IAT 2010 will be jointly held with the 2010 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI-10). The two conferences will have a joint opening, keynote, reception, and banquet. Attendees only need to register for one conference and can attend workshops, sessions, tutorials, panels, exhibits and demonstrations across the two conferences. We are also planning a joint panel, joint paper sessions, and a doctoral mentoring program to discuss common problems in the two areas.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On-Line Submissions and Publication ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
High-quality papers in all WI related areas are solicited. Paper submissions should be limited to a maximum of 8 pages in the IEEE 2-column format. The same format will be used for final camera-ready papers (see the Author Guidelines at http://www.ieeeconfpublishing.org/cpir/AuthorKit.asp?Community=CPS&Facil...). All submitted papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity.
Note that IAT'10 will accept ONLY on-line submissions in PDF format. Please use the Submission Form on the WI'10 website to submit your paper. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press that is indexed by EI.
Submissions accepted as regular papers will be allocated 8 pages in the proceedings and accorded oral presentation times in the main conference. Submissions accepted as short papers will be allocated 4 pages in the proceedings and will have a shorter presentation time at the conference than regular papers.
All co-authors will be notified at all time, for the submission, notification, and confirmation on the attendance. Submitting a paper to the conference and workshops means that, if the paper is accepted, at least one author should attend the conference to present the paper. The acceptance list and no-show list will be openly published on-line. For no-show authors, their affiliations will receive a notification.
Authors of a selected number of IAT'10 accepted papers will be invited to submit expanded and revised versions of their papers for condideration for inclusion in Web Intelligence and Agent Systems: An International Journal (http://wi-consortium.org/journal.html) and other related journals.
The best paper awards will be conferred at the conference on the authors of (1) the best research paper and (2) the best application paper. Application-oriented submissions will be considered for the best application paper award.
More detailed instructions and the On-Line Submission Form will be found on the IAT'10 homepage: http://www.yorku.ca/wiiat10/contributors.php
++++++++++ Workshops ++++++++++
An important part of the conference is the workshop program which will focus on new research challenges and initiatives. All papers accepted for workshops will be included in the Workshop Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press that are indexed by EI, and will be available at the workshops. Detailed information is available at the conference homepage.
Note: we will not have a separate workshop registration fee (i.e., conference registration covers everything).
++++++++++ Tutorials ++++++++++
IAT'10 also welcomes Tutorial proposals. IAT'10 will include tutorials providing in-depth background on subjects that are of broad interest to the Web intelligence community. Both short (2 hours) and long (half day) tutorials will be considered. The tutorials will be part of the main conference technical program. Detailed information is available at the conference homepage.
Note: we will not have a separate tutorials registration fee (i.e., only one conference registration covers everything).
++++++++++++++++++++ Industry/Demo-Track ++++++++++++++++++++
We solicit Industry/Demo-Track papers by the following methods.
(1) Industry papers of 4 pages can be submitted on the same schedule as the research track. (2) Separate 2 page demo proposals can submitted at a later schedule. (3) Full regular paper submissions can include a demo option. That is, a full paper submissions will be asked to specify if they would like to give a demonstration; choice of demonstrations (while utilizing information from the regular reviewing process) will be selected based on value as a demonstration.
For options (1) and (2), more detailed instructions will be found at the homepage: http://www.yorku.ca/wiiat10/participants.php
