III WORKSHOP AGENTS IN TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION
AT AAMAS 2004
NEW YORK, NY, JULY 19 OR 20, 2004
http://ki.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/~kluegl/att2004/

MOTIVATION
Building effective and user-friendly transportation systems is one of the
big challenges for engineers in the 21st century. The rapid change of
location, enabled by plane, high-speed rail, sea and road travel,
has constantly become easier and more natural. These days we travel without
any of the difficulties that accompanied taking a trip less than a century
ago. All we have to do is to organize and to pick up
the transport mode that comes closest to our objectives. In much the same
way, many new opportunities for the delivery of goods are being explored and
commercially exploited.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this workshop is to bring researchers and practitioners
together in order to set up visions on how agent technology can be and is
used for today's isolated IT-tools so as to model, simulate, and manage
large-scale complex transportation systems.
CALL FOR PAPERS
We invite research papers, case studies and practitioners' reports on the
implementation and use of Autonomous Agents in all areas related to
transportation, traffic and logistics. Besides running real-world
applications, we are also interested in papers concerning demonstrators or
testbed that are still under development. Conceptual papers and those
reporting on particular components of transportation systems are also
welcome. A publication of selected papers as a special issue of an
appropriate journal is planned.
Relevant topics include (but are not limited to)
* modelling and supporting drivers decision making
* heterogeneous decision making processes and multi-dimensional
optimization in transportation systems
* behavioural strategies / heuristic in traffic/transportation domains
* characteristics of modelling the environment
* global control versus agent autonomy in transportation systems
* information dissemination to agents and global effect of local
information and adaptation
* multi-agent simulation of traffic/transportation scenarios
* intelligent monitoring of transportation systems
* intelligent traffic/transportation management supported by agents
* data collection, filtering and distribution of transportation data
maintained by agents
* logistic chains such as supply chains or flight paths via hubs
developed or supervised by intelligent agents
