* CALL FOR PAPERS *
* Workshop on AGENTS IN TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION (ATT) *
* @AAMAS 2008 *
* May, 12 or 13 - Estoril, Portugal *
* http://ki.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/~kluegl/att2008 *
**********************************************************************
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.
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. Therefore, we are
interested in 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.
This is the fifth of a series of workshops: 2000 (with selected papers
published by the journal **Transportation Research C**), 2001, 2004
(with proceedings published in a book by Birkhäuser and selected and
extended papers published in a special volume of Transportation
Research C), and 2006. For the 2008 we are starting negotiations
regarding publication of post-proceedings of extended versions.
**********************************************************************
Relevant topics include (but are not limited to):
-------------------------------------------------
* agent-based applications in traffic, transportation, and logistics
* agent-based approaches to modelling driver behaviour
* coordination in multiagent transportation systems
* agent-based simulation of transportation systems
* intelligent peer-to-peer transportation systems
* mobile devices and agents in transportation systems
* collaborative driving
* autonomous driving
* agent-based pedestrian and crowd simulation
**********************************************************************
Preparation and Submission of Papers:
-------------------------------------
For preparation of papers to be submitted please use the ACM template
and follow the formatting instructions for authors available at the
AAMAS-2008 website:
http://gaips.inesc-id.pt/aamas2008/paper_submission.html
Contributions should carry the title, author(s) name(s), and
affiliation including e-mail address, and should include an
abstract. The length of each paper including figures and references
may not exceed 10 (ten) pages. All papers must be written in English
and submitted in PDF or compressed PostScript format via the EasyChair
System for ATT2008:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=att2008
**********************************************************************
Proceedings:
------------
Proceedings will be available at the workshop. Revised and extended
versions of ATT-2008 papers will be published in Elsevier's journal
"TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH PART C: EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES"
(Impact Factor 0.767 according to the JCR 2007).
The revised and extended versions must take into account the
discussion held during the workshop, hence, only those papers that are
presented during the workshop will be considered for inclusion in the
TR-C special issue.
