4th Workshop on Applications of Software Agents - WASA 2014 ----------------------------------------------------------- http://perun.pmf.uns.ac.rs/events/wasa2014/ within 4th International Conference on Web Intelligence, Mining and Semantics: WIMS-2014 http://wims14.csd.auth.gr/ Thessaloniki, Greece, June 2-4, 2014 Workshop Description -------------------- Software agent technologies reached a certain level of maturity that allows development of applications spanning from lab prototypes to mature real-life systems, in domains that could have not been imagined before. Furthermore, software agent technologies proved their usefulness in synergy with methods of artificial intelligence and semantic technologies. The aim of the WASA workshop is to contribute to the advancement of technologies and applications of software agents with a special interest in intelligent methods including, but not limited to: reasoning, semantics, pattern recognition, learning and cognition, etc. The workshop welcomes papers addressing research and experience reports on various applications of software agents. Papers describing finalized research, as well as work-in-progress, are welcome. The topics of the workshop cover, broadly understood, software agent and intelligent technologies connected to applications and experiences in areas like: - e-business - social networks - e-learning - grid and cloud computing - gaming - smart environments - Internet of Things - e-health - multimedia - disaster and crisis management - risk analysis and mitigation - virtual organizations - simulation - energy conservation - sustainability and green computing - planning and decision making - traffic control - image and video understanding - manufacturing and industrial management etc. (but this list is not exhaustive). Papers ------ Papers will be published in the WIMSí2014 proceedings published by ACM and must be prepared according to the ACM format. Four types of submissions are solicited, according to WIMSí2014 requirements. Detailed information about submission type and format can be found on WIMSí2014 Web site: http://wims14.csd.auth.gr/?page_id=23 Submissions are handled via EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wasa20140 Program Chairs -------------- Mirjana Ivanovic, University of Novi Sad, Serbia Maria Ganzha, University of Gdansk and IBS PAN, Poland Program Co-chairs ----------------- Marcin Paprzycki, IBS PAN and WSM, Poland Costin Badica, University of Craiova, Romania Program Committee Members (tentative) ------------------------- Olivier Boissier, ENS Mines Saint-Etienne, France Paolo Bresciani, FBK, Italy Marius Brezovan, University of Craiova, Romania Zoran Budimac, University of Novi Sad, Serbia Giacomo Cabri, University of Modena, Italy Luminita Dumitriu, "Dunarea de Jos" University of Galati, Romania Vadim Ermolayev, Zaporozhye National University, Ukraine Adina Magda Florea, University Politehnica of Bucharest, Romania Giancarlo Fortino, University of Calabria, Italy Sorin Ilie, University of Craiova, Romania Galina Ilieva, University of Plovdiv "Paisii Hilendarsky", Bulgaria Amelia Badica, University of Craiova, Romania Gordan Jezic, University of Zagreb, Croatia Petros Kefalas, University of Sheffield International Faculty, CITY College, Thessaloniki, Greece Mario Kusek, University of Zagreb, Croatia Florin Leon, "Gheorghe Asachi" Technical University of Iasi, Romania Marin Lujak, University Rey Juan Carlos, Spain Mihai Mocanu, University of Craiova, Romania Viorel Negru, West University of Timisoara, Romania Andrea Omicini, University of Bologna, Italy Mihaela Oprea, University Petroleum-Gas of Ploiesti, Romania Doru Panescu, "Gheorghe Asachi" Technical University of Iasi, Romania Massimo Paolucci, University of Genoa, Italy Stefan-Gheorghe Pentiuc, "Stefan cel Mare" University of Suceava, Romania Agostino Poggi, University of Parma, Italy Ioanna Stamatopoulou, University of Sheffield, International Faculty, CITY College, Thessaloniki, Greece Kari Syst?, Tampere University of Technology, Finland Denis Trcek, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia George Vouros, University of Piraeus, Greece Constantin-Bala Zamfirescu, University of Sibiu, Romania Important Dates --------------- Workshop paper submission deadline: January 24, 2014 Workshop paper notification: February 24, 2014 Workshop authors' registration and camera-ready papers: March 24, 2014 Workshop: June 2-4, 2014 Post-conference publication --------------------------- A selection of the best papers accepted and presented at WASA'2014 will be invited for extension and possible inclusion (subject to an additional review process) into a Special Issue of an internationally recognized journal.
