The AIMSA conference series has provided a biennial forum for the presentation of AI research and development since 1984. The conference, which is held in Bulgaria, covers the full range of topics in Artificial Intelligence and related disciplines and provides an ideal forum for international scientific exchange between Central/Eastern Europe and the rest of the world. AIMSA 2010 is supported by ECCAI, European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence.
As its name indicates, the conference is dedicated to Artificial Intelligence in its entirety. However, for AIMSA 2010, we would like to put the emphasis on the application and leverage of Artificial Intelligence technologies in the context of knowledge societies where knowledge creation, accessing, acquiring, and sharing empower individuals and communities. A number of AI techniques play a key role in responding to these challenges. Artificial Intelligence is extensively used in the development of systems for effective management and flexible and personalized access to large knowledge bases, in the semantic web technologies that enable sharing and reuse of and reasoning over semantically annotated resources, in the emerging social semantic web applications that aid humans to collaboratively build semantics, in the construction of intelligent environments for supporting (human and agent) learning, etc. In building such intelligent applications, Artificial Intelligence techniq
ues are typically combined with results from other disciplines such as the social sciences, distributed systems, databases, digital libraries, information retrieval, service oriented applications, etc. AIMSA 2010 aims to reflect this plethora of avenues with special attention to works that demonstrate the potential of AI for supporting learning, sharing, and amplifying of knowledge.

SCOPE
The AIMSA conference series has provided a biennial forum for the presentation of Artificial intelligence research and development since 1984. The conference, which is held in Bulgaria, covers the full range of topics in Artificial Intelligence and related disciplines and provides an ideal forum for international scientific exchange between Central/Eastern Europe and the rest of the world.
The AIMSA conference series has provided a biennial forum for the presentation of AI research and development since 1984. The conference, which is held in Bulgaria, covers the full range of topics in Artificial Intelligence and related disciplines and provides an ideal forum for international scientific exchange between Central/Eastern Europe and the rest of the world. AIMSA 2010 is supported by ECCAI, European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence.
As its name indicates, the conference is dedicated to Artificial Intelligence in its entirety. However, for AIMSA 2010, we would like to put the emphasis on the application and leverage of Artificial Intelligence technologies in the context of knowledge societies where knowledge creation, accessing, acquiring, and sharing empower individuals and communities. A number of AI techniques play a key role in responding to these challenges. Artificial Intelligence is extensively used in the development of systems for effective management and flexible and personalized access to large knowledge bases, in the semantic web technologies that enable sharing and reuse of and reasoning over semantically annotated resources, in the emerging social semantic web applications that aid humans to collaboratively build semantics, in the construction of intelligent environments for supporting (human and agent) learning, etc. In building such intelligent applications, Artificial Intelligence techniq
ues are typically combined with results from other disciplines such as the social sciences, distributed systems, databases, digital libraries, information retrieval, service oriented applications, etc. AIMSA 2010 aims to reflect this plethora of avenues with special attention to works that demonstrate the potential of AI for supporting learning, sharing, and amplifying of knowledge.

Working Conference on Human Factors and Computational Models in Negotiation (HuCom 2010 @ GDN)
Second International Working Conference on Human Factors and Computational
Models in Negotiation (HuCom 2010 @ GDN)
June 21 - 24, 2010, Delft, The Netherlands
http://mmi.tudelft.nl/HuCom10/
IMPORTANT DATES:
- April 1, 2010: Paper Submissions Due
- April 16, 2010: Notification of paper acceptance/rejection
- May 1, 2010: Camera-ready copies of accepted papers
- June 21 - 24, 2010: Working Conference on Human Factors and Computational Models in Negotiation
PUBLICATION:
We are pleased to solicit original and unpublished papers for publication and presentation in the Working Conference on Human Factors and Computational Models in Negotiation. Articles describing novel ideas and applications in all areas related to human factors and computational models in negotiation are of interest. We also invite submissions of statements of interests or position papers. Submit your paper electronically in either PDF or postscript format. Papers should not be more 6000 words. Submission is entirely automated by a paper management tool, which is available from the main web site: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hucom10.
Accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings of the Group Decision and Negotiation conference. AIMS AND SCOPE: Negotiation is a complex and sometimes emotional decision-making process aiming to reach an agreement to exchange goods or services. Although a daily activity, extensive research has shown that few people are effective negotiators. Current state of the art negotiation support systems can help make a significant improvement in negotiation performance. In particular, when the negotiation space is well-understood such systems can make a difference, partly because machines can much better deal with the computational complexity involved. However, the negotiation space can only be properly developed if the human parties jointly explore their interests. The inherent semantic problem and the emotional issues involved make that negotiation cannot be handled by artificial intelligence alone, and a human-machine collaborative system is required. Such systems are not only to support humans in providing strategic advice but also in coping with emotions and moods in human-human interactions. In order to develop human-machine collaborative negotiation support systems there is a need for the development of computational models, frameworks, and experimental, user-centred and ergonomic methods that enable the engineering of negotiation support systems. It is important for this purpose to study the role of human factors in negotiation as well as computational models to enable intelligent support for negotiation. To develop the next generation of negotiation support systems there are still many, diverse challenges: models of (qualitative, incomplete) preferences, preference change and strategies, preference elicitation, assessment methods for negotiation performance, learning and adaptativeness in negotiation, models of emotion and user awareness, the use and creation of domain knowledge, user interfaces for negotiation support, human-supported assessment of opponent, conflict handling styles, experimental methods. Topics covered include but are not limited to:
- Negotiation strategies (bidding, acceptance) - Argumentation for negotiation - Negotiation interaction - Learning in negotiation - Negotiation domain knowledge - Case studies - Preference elicitation - Qualitative preferences - Incomplete preferences - Ontologies for negotiation (protocols, preferences, domain knowledge) - Negotiation Support Systems - User interfaces for Negotiation Support Systems - Human-machine negotiation - Negotiation, conflict handling, and experiments related to e.g. consensus building - Personality in negotiation (e.g. Big Five) - Emotions in negotiation - Cultural factors in negotiation - Negotiation bidding advice - Negotiation conflict styles - Trust in automatically generated negotiation advice - Negotiation applications - E-commerce - Methods and tools for negotiation tasks - Design and Evaluation of support systems - Conflict handling styles and consensus building - HCI aspects and human factors of negotiation

LOGICS IN SECURITY (workshop at ESSLLI 2010)
CALL FOR PAPERS
LOGICS IN SECURITY (workshop at ESSLLI 2010)
August 9-13, 2010 Copenhagen, Denmark
http://lis.gforge.uni.lu
http://esslli2010cph.info/
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ABSTRACT
In the past two decades, a number of logics and formal frameworks have
been proposed to model and analyse interconnected systems from the
security point of view. Recently, the increasing need to cope with
distributed and complex scenarios forced researchers in formal security
to employ non-classical logics to reason about these systems.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together logicians and formal
security researchers to foster the cross-fertilization between these two
areas. Logicians have a lot to benefit from specifying and reasoning
about real-world scenarios as well as researchers in security
can apply recent advances in non-classical logics to improve their
formalisms.
We are interested in logical foundations of security and in particular
in the following topics:
Language-based security Access Control
Judgemental Analysis Privacy
Automated Theorem Proving Protocol Verification
Term-Rewriting Systems applied to Security Architectures
Logical Programming Trust and Reputation Management
Modal Logic Static Analysis of Programs
Dynamic Logic Risk Management
Epistemic and Deontic Logic Policy Compliance
Security in Multi-Agent System
Formal Cryptography

LOGICS IN SECURITY (workshop at ESSLLI 2010)
August 9-13, 2010 Copenhagen, Denmark
http://lis.gforge.uni.lu
http://esslli2010cph.info/
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ABSTRACT
In the past two decades, a number of logics and formal frameworks have
been proposed to model and analyse interconnected systems from the
security point of view. Recently, the increasing need to cope with
distributed and complex scenarios forced researchers in formal security
to employ non-classical logics to reason about these systems.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together logicians and formal
security researchers to foster the cross-fertilization between these two
areas. Logicians have a lot to benefit from specifying and reasoning
about real-world scenarios as well as researchers in security
can apply recent advances in non-classical logics to improve their
formalisms.
We are interested in logical foundations of security and in particular
in the following topics:
Language-based security Access Control
Judgemental Analysis Privacy
Automated Theorem Proving Protocol Verification
Term-Rewriting Systems applied to Security Architectures
Logical Programming Trust and Reputation Management
Modal Logic Static Analysis of Programs
Dynamic Logic Risk Management
Epistemic and Deontic Logic Policy Compliance
Security in Multi-Agent System
Formal Cryptography

The Eleventh Annual Trading Agent Competition
Call for Participation TAC-2010 The Eleventh Annual Trading Agent Competition - Call for Participation June 7 - 8, 2010 Boston, MA, USA Collocated with EC'10 (ACM Conf. on Electronic Commerce) We would like to ask all teams interested in participating in the competition to register their intent to participate as soon as possible in order to determine the number of participants and whether a qualification round (in each game) is needed. ***The official deadline for registering is: April 30, 2010 *** We ask teams to register early though. The registration site url is: http://www.sics.se/tac/intent.php The tentative schedule for the competition is as follows: - May 5-15: Qualification (where necessary) - May 17-28 : Seeding - June (3 or 4) & 7 padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px; width: 100%;"> Call for Participation TAC-2010 The Eleventh Annual Trading Agent Competition - Call for Participation June 7 - 8, 2010 Boston, MA, USA Collocated with EC'10 (ACM Conf. on Electronic Commerce) Trading in electronic markets is increasingly becoming both a commonplace economic activity and a topic of special interest within the AI, Electronic Commerce, and Multiagent Systems (MAS) research communities. We invite you to participate in the Eleventh Annual Trading Agent Competition (TAC-10), to be held in May and June of 2010, with the finals taking place during the EC'10 conference in Boston, Massachusetts, preceded by qualifying and seeding rounds in May and June. Building on the success of previous Trading Agent Competition events, this year's event is again designed to spur research on common problems, promote definitions of benchmarks and standard problem descriptions, and showcase current technologies. The competition will pit software agents -- developed by research groups, students, and others from all over the world -- against each other in challenging market games. This year, there will be three games, and up to two related challenge events: 1. TAC Ad Auctions (AA). In the TAC/AA game, agents representing Internet advertisers bid for search-engine ad placement over a range of interrelated keyword combinations. A back-end search-user model translates placement over each simulated day to impressions, clicks, and sale conversions, yielding revenue for the advertiser. Advertiser strategies combining online data analysis and bidding tac tics compete to maximize profit over the simulated campaign horizon. 2. TAC Market Design (reverse TAC, or "CAT"). CAT software agents represent market makers whose goals are to attract potential buyers and sellers as customers, and then to match buyers with sellers. The market makers compete with one another in doing this, such as the London Stock Exchange competes with the NYSE for the business of stock traders. 3. TAC Supply Chain Management (SCM). TAC/SCM simulates a dynamic supply chain environment where agents compete to secure customer orders and components required for production of these orders. The game captures many of the complexities of actual supply chains, where both demand and supply fluctuate and each manufacturer has limited production capacity. Participants also have the option of entering two SCM Challenge events: a Procurement Challenge and a Prediction Challenge; these will take place if enough teams (minimum 6) register for them. The market games have been specially designed to present agents with difficult decision problems and admit a wide variety of potential bidding and negotiation strategies. Preliminary documentation and software for participating in the AA Tournament are accessible at: http://aa.tradingagents.org/ Preliminary documentation and software for participating in the CAT Tournament are accessible via sourceforge. Access details and other CAT information is available at: http://www.marketbasedcontrol.com/blog/index.php?page_id=5 Documentation and open source software for participating in TAC SCM, including servers and sample agents, are available for download at: http://www.sics.se/tac/ The qualifying and seeding rounds will be held in May and early June, and the first day of the final rounds is scheduled to coincide with the Trading Agent Design and Analysis (TADA) workshop to be held at EC'10. To register for TAC-10, please fill out the registration form at: (will be activated in the next weeks) http://www.sics.se/tac/intent.php The entry fee will be US$250 per team to enter one game, or $400 for all TAC games. For TAC SCM the entry fee is the same independently of the number of challenge events in which a team competes. The entry fee is waived for teams who send a representative to the TAC finals at EC'10, if that representative registers for the TADA workshop. A given individual may represent one team for one game. Note: Please send any questions regarding the fees to tac [at] tradingagents.org. Groups unable to afford the entry fee may also contact tac [at] tradingagents.org for special consideration. General information about TAC can be found at: http://www.sics.se/tac/ Exact dates for the qualifying and seeding rounds will soon be posted on this site. More information about the Trading Agent Analysis and Design (TADA) workshop is available at: http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/conferences/tada2010/ Information about the Association for Trading Agent Research running TAC is available at: http://tradingagents.org Please circulate this announcement to anyone who may be interested in participating.
