Americas Conference on Information Systems, 2011
August 4 -- 8, 2011, Detroit, MI
Mini-rack: Multi-Agent Systems and Semantic Technologies
(Sponsored by SIGABIS)
Mini-Track Co-Chairs:
Vijayan Sugumaran, Oakland University, USA
Stefan Kirn, Universität Hohenheim, Germany
Multi-agent systems and semantic technologies have been recognized as one of the most important Information Technologies and have received considerable attention from both academia and industry. Significant progress has been made over the last few years in the development of multi-agent systems and semantic web applications in a variety of fields such as electronic commerce, supply chain management, resource allocation, intelligent manufacturing, mass customization, information retrieval and filtering, decision support, simulation, and healthcare. The purpose of this mini-track is to provide a forum for academics and practitioners to identify and explore the issues, opportunities, and solutions related to intelligent agent and semantic technology design, implementation, integration and deployment. In addition, novel techniques for developing semantic web applications and agent-based systems in different domains would be of interest. This mini-track is intended to increase cross-fertilization of ideas from these domains, and share the lessons learned. Building on its success in the last eleven years, this mini-track is expected to serve as the spring-board for gathering and disseminating experiences gained in implementing and integrating multi-agent systems and semantic applications in an industrial setting.
Best papers from this mini-track will be fast tracked for publication in a special issue of International Journal of Intelligent Information Technologies (IJIIT).
