-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4th International KES Symposium on Agents and Multi-agent Systems -
Technologies and Applications
23-25 June 2010, Gdynia, Poland
Proceedings in Springer LNCS/LNAI
Website: http://amsta-10.kesinternational.org
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Aim of the Symposium
------------------------
KES-AMSTA-2010 is an international scientific symposium for research in the
field of agent and multi-agent systems. The aim of the symposium is to
provide an internationally respected forum for scientific research in the
technologies and applications of agent and multi-agent systems.
Agents and multi-agent systems are related to a modern software paradigm
which has long been recognized as a promising technology for constructing
autonomous, complex and intelligent systems. This symposium will provide and
excellent opportunity for researchers to discuss modern approaches and
techniques for agent and multi-agent systems and their applications.
The scope of the Symposium
--------------------------
Agent Systems
Formal models of agency. Agent architectures. BDI architecture. Learning,
evolution, and adaptation. Perception and action. Communication: languages,
semantics, pragmatics, protocols, and conversations. Knowledge
representation Computational complexity. Autonomous or humanoid robots.
Social robots and robot teams. Autonomy aspect. Cognitive models, including
emotions and philosophies. Embodied and believable agents. Emergent
behaviour. Ontologies.
Multi-agent Systems
Cooperative distributed problem solving. Task and resource allocation.
Mechanism design, auctions, and game theory. Modelling other agents and
self. Multi-agent planning. Negotiation protocols. Multi-agent learning.
Conflict resolution. Trust and reputation management. Privacy, safety and
security. Scalability, robustness and dependability. Social and
organizational structures. Verification and validation. Novel computing
paradigms (autonomic, grid, P2P, ubiquitous computing). Brokering and
matchmaking. Agent-oriented software engineering, including implementation
languages and frameworks. Mobile agents. Per-formance, scalability,
robustness, and dependability. Verification and validation. E-business
agents. Pervasive computing. Privacy, safety, and security.
Tools and Applications
Simulation systems. Web services and service-oriented computing. Artificial
social systems. Autonomic computing. Case studies and reports on
deployments. Computational infrastructures. Information retrieval. Web
services and semantic web. E-learning sys-tems. E-institutions. E-commerce.
Paper submission
----------------
Papers are invited from prospective authors with interests on the indicated
symposium topics and related areas of application. All contributions should
be original and not published or intended to be published elsewhere during
the review period. Contributions from more applied related fields in
industry and commerce are very welcome. Ph.D. students are invited to submit
papers to Doctoral Track. Special sessions are also welcome.
Submitted papers should be prepared in LNCS/LNAI style and should not exceed
10 pages. All accepted papers must be presented by one of the authors who
must register for the conference and pay the fee. To ensure high quality,
all papers will be thoroughly reviewed by the KES-AMSTA-2010 International
Programme Committee.
Call for Invited Sessions
-------------------------
Researchers who would like to organise Invited Sessions on topics falling
within the scope of the conference are invited to submit a proposal for
consideration.
Conference publication
----------------------
The symposium proceedings are planned to be published by Springer-Verlag in
LNCS/LNAI series (subject to confirmation). Extended versions of selected
papers will be considered for publication in special issues to be included
in several journals indexed by ISI, KES Journal and Int. Journal of
Intelligent Information and Data-base Systems.
