The International Workshop on Cooperative Robots and Sensor Networks (RoboSense 2012) http://www.coins-lab.org/events/RoboSense12/ ************************************************************************** Springer Special Edition Best selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their papers to the special edition of Springer Book “Cooperative Robots and Sensor Networks” under the book series “Studies in Computational Intelligence”. Overview Wireless connected robots and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have enabled great potentials and a large space for ubiquitous and pervasive applications. Robotics and WSNs have mostly been considered as separate research fields and little work has investigated the marriage between these two technologies. However, these two technologies share several features, enable common cyber-physical applications and provide complementary support to each other. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from academia, and industry working in to both robotics and sensor networks areas to present and discuss recent advances and innovative ideas pertaining to these fields. Papers dealing with the coupling between robots and sensor networks are particularly sought. The workshop also looks for contributions about cyber-physical applications based on robotics and sensor networks, such as intelligent transportation systems, healthcare monitoring, industrial automation, etc. The workshop will provide a relaxed forum to present and discuss new ideas, new research directions and to review current trends in these areas. The workshop will be based on short presentations that should encourage discussions among the attendees. Statements which are innovative, controversial or that present new approaches are specially sought. Workshop Chairs Anis Koubaa, Al-Imam Mohamed bin Saud University (Saudi Arabia)/CISTER Research Unit, Portugal. Abdelmajid Khelil, TU Darmstadt, Germany Important Dates Abstract Submission: February 28, 2012 (extended) Paper Submission: March 06, 2012 (extended) Notification of Acceptance: April 06, 2012 Final Manuscript Due: May 01, 2012 Authors Registration Due: May 10, 2012 Call for Papers The workshop is seeking original research and position papers dealing with hot topics in mobile robots and sensor networks.

2011 (Taipei). The ALA workshop has a long and successful history
and is now in its 11th edition. The workshop is a merger of European
ALAMAS and the American ALAg series which is usually held at

*******************************************************
Adaptive and Learning Agents, particularly those in a multi-agent setting
are becoming more and more prominent as the sheer size and complexity of
many real world systems grows. How to adaptively control, coordinate and
optimize such systems is an emerging multi-disciplinary research area at
the intersection of Computer Science, Control theory, Economics, and
Biology. The ALA workshop will focus on agent and multi-agent systems
which employ learning or adaptation.
The goal of this workshop is to increase awareness and interest in
adaptive agent research, encourage collaboration and give a
representative overview of current research in the area of adaptive and
learning agents and multi-agent systems. It aims at bringing together not
only scientists from different areas of computer science but also from
different fields studying similar concepts (e.g., game theory,
bio-inspired control, mechanism design).
This workshop will focus on all aspects of adaptive and learning agents
and multi-agent systems with a particular emphasis on how to modify
established learning techniques and/or create new learning paradigms to
address the many challenges presented by complex real-world problems.
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Novel combinations of reinforcement and supervised learning
approaches
* Integrated learning approaches that work with other agent
reasoning modules like negotiation, trust models, coordination,
etc.
* Supervised multi-agent learning
* Reinforcement learning (single and multi-agent)
* Planning (single and multi-agent)
* Reasoning (single and multi-agent)
* Distributed learning
* Adaptation and learning in dynamic environments
* Evolution of agents in complex environments
* Co-evolution of agents in a multi-agent setting
* Cooperative exploration and learning to cooperate and collaborate
* Learning trust and reputation
* Communication restrictions and their impact on multi-agent
coordination
* Design of reward structure and fitness measures for coordination
* Scaling learning techniques to large systems of learning and
adaptive agents
* Emergent behaviour in adaptive multi-agent systems
* Game theoretical analysis of adaptive multi-agent systems
* Neuro-control in multi-agent systems
* Bio-inspired multi-agent systems
* Applications of adaptive and learning agents and multi-agent
systems to real world complex systems

SIEC 2010 - 1st International Conference on Swarm Intelligence and Emergent Computing
SIEC 2010
The 1st International Conference on Swarm Intelligence and Emergent Computing
In conjunction with the “The 2010 Systemics and Informatics World Network” (SIWN 2010) Chongqing, China, 12-14 July 2010
Complex Adaptive Systems are widespread both in the nature and in socio-economic phenomena. A Multi-Agent Based Complex System has its dynamic behaviour that is inherently emerging as a result of intensive interactions among its massive agents. Examples of Multi-Agent Based Complex Systems include social insects, population aggregations in urbane regions, market based economy, city taxi cabs, etc. Swarm Intelligence represents a methodology for analyzing and modeling Multi-Agent Based Complex Systems, and Emergent Computing is concerned with the methodology for engineering robust, dependable, self-adaptable Multi-Agent Based Complex Systems out of massive, simple, unreliable objects, devices or units. Essentially Emergent Computing represents a new approach which takes a Collective Intelligence point of view upon all types of artificial systems, e.g., web/Internet based systems, social networking, online virtual communities, pervasive/ubiquitous computing, ambient intelligence, socio-technical systems, and so forth.
SIEC2010 aims to provide a timely international, multi-disciplinary forum on the latest theories, methods, techniques and applications in Swarm Intelligence and Emergence Computing.
