Plenary Speaker

Longbing Cao - Agent Mining: The Synergy of Multiagent Systems and Data Mining.

SCOPE
Research on Agents and Multi-Agent Systems has matured during the last decade and many effective applications of this technology are now deployed. PAAMS provides an international forum to present and discuss the latest scientific developments and their effective applications, to assess the impact of the approach, and to facilitate technology transfer. PAAMS started as a local initiative, but has since grown to become THE international yearly platform to present, to discuss, and to disseminate the latest developments and the most important outcomes related to real-world applications. It provides a unique opportunity to bring multi-disciplinary experts, academics and practitioners together to exchange their experience in the development and deployment of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. PAAMS intends to bring together researchers and developers from industry and the academic world to report on the latest scientific and technical advances on the application of multi-agent system, to discuss and debate the major issues, and to showcase the latest systems using agent based technology. It will promote a forum for discussion on how agent-based techniques, methods, and tools help system designers to accomplish the mapping between available agent technology and application needs. Other stakeholders should be rewarded with a better understanding of the potential and challenges of the agent-oriented approach.

Agent-Oriented Software Engineering -AOSE 2012

                        AOSE 2012
13th International Workshop on Agent-Oriented Software Engineering

********** SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED ***********


Held with AAMAS 2012, Valencia, Spain, June 4, 2012
http://winf.in.tu-clausthal.de/events/aose12


MOTIVATION

Since the early 1990s, multi-agent system researchers have developed a
large body of knowledge on the foundations and engineering principles
for designing and developing agent-based systems. The 12 past editions
of the agent-oriented software engineering workshop (AOSE) had a key
role in this endeavor. For 2012, the workshop organizers and the
steering committee propose to organize an edition of AOSE workshop aimed
at exploring the new emerging role of agent-oriented software
engineering as a bridge from the now consolidated agent oriented
programming languages and platforms, to recent systems modelling
paradigms like self-*, autonomic systems, and systems of systems (SoS).
Thus, it is our hope to explore from an agent-based perspective,
foundations, models, methods, architectures, and tools for
engineering future software-intensive IT eco-systems.

The workshop organizers plan to publish accepted papers on a USB stick
as part of the AAMAS workshop registration package.
Revised post-proceedings papers will later be published in
a volume of the Lecture Notes for Computer Science series.


GOALS and TOPICS

The general goal of this year workshop is twofold: The first goal is to
study the role of agent-oriented software engineering in the design
phase of agents development. It is well known and accepted that agents -
from the software engineering perspective - are of particular interest
as an analysis abstraction. This has been true for several years but the
most recent advancements in agent-oriented programming languages have
proposed new challenges: software engineers may now design and code
their solutions in terms of agents. The old need of moving to the
object-oriented level of abstraction is overpassed and the new
developing platforms allow for a more natural transformation of AO
analysis models into AO design models. This reality has been soon
perceived by researcher and practitioners. An example of this new trend
may be found in the refreshed interest about testing of agents.

The second goal concerns the other side of the proposed ideal bridge:
the needs of new design approaches specifically suited for facing the
needs of self-organizing systems, autonomic systems and systems of
systems. In the last years we have seen considerable research efforts on
these topics; however, only few of them have their scope and foundations
in the software engineering field.

Novel efforts are necessary to cope with these new challenges in order
to find specific solutions that could bring such systems from research
to industrialization. In this context, a means for bridging the above
mentioned research (and application) streams may come from the advances
on organizations, norms, and institutions. Are they mature enough for
being applied to stable agent-oriented languages and for contributing to
the engineering of self-organizing and autonomic systems? The proposed
aim is find an answer to this question or to propose further hints for
future investigations on the application of organizations, norms and
institutions to the design of agent-oriented systems.

Topics of regular papers include but are not restricted to:

* Agent-based concepts for systems of systems engineering
* Agent-based solutions for managing complexity in software engineering
* Agents and model-driven approaches
* Agents and services
* Agents for self-adaptive systems
* Alignment of agents with service-oriented software development
* Autonomy vs. dependability and robustness
* CASE tools to support agent-oriented software development in practice
* Coordination infrastructures for multi-agent systems
* Engineering multi-agent organizations
* Engineering self-organizing systems
* Goal-oriented design
* Implications of introducing agent-based solutions on the development organization
* Integration of agents with legacy systems
* Middleware integration of agent-based software
* Multi-agent based simulation
* Programming agents and multi-agent systems
* Qualities and tradeoffs of agent-based architectures
* Reusable design knowledge: patterns and reference architectures
* Social engineering
* Software architectures for multi-agent systems
* Standardization efforts for multi-agent systems
* Testing of agent-based software
* Validation of agent technology in practice
* Verification of agent-based software


AUTHOR GUIDELINES

AOSE welcomes the submission of theoretical, experimental,
methodological as well as application papers with a clear research focus
on the topics outlined above. Each paper will be evaluated by three
members of the PC. Papers that present a valuable idea that needs
further development can be accepted as a short paper.


SUBMISSIONS

Papers should be between 8 and 12 pages, including the text, figures,
and references. The submissions must be formatted according to the
Springer Verlag LNCS style. PDF format is required. Papers can be
submitted via EasyChair 'AOSE2012',

Declarative Agent Languages and Technologies (DALT 2012)

            10th International Workshop on
             Declarative Agent Languages and Technologies
                             (DALT 2012)

                          4 or 5 June 2012

                           Valencia, Spain
                (held in conjunction with AAMAS 2012)

         URL: http://www.di.unito.it/~baldoni/DALT-2012/

----------------------------------------------------------------------
                           CALL FOR PAPERS
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The workshop  on Declarative Agent Languages  and Technologies (DALT),
in  its tenth  edition this  year,  is a  well-established forum  for
researchers  interested  in  sharing  their experiences  in  combining
declarative  and  formal approaches  with  engineering and  technology
aspects  of agents  and  multiagent systems.   Building complex  agent
systems calls for models  and technologies that ensure predictability,
allow for  the verification of properties,  and guarantee flexibility.
Developing  technologies  that can  satisfy  these requirements  still
poses  an  important   and  difficult  challenge.   Here,  declarative
approaches  have the  potential of  offering solutions  satisfying the
needs   for  both  specifying   and  developing   multiagent  systems.
Moreover,  they  are gaining  more  and  more  attention in  important
application   areas  such  as   the  semantic   web,  service-oriented
computing, security,  and electronic contracting.

DALT 2012 will be held as a satellite workshop of AAMAS 2012, the 11th
International  Joint Conference  on Autonomous  Agents  and Multiagent
Systems,  in June  2011 in Valencia, Spain.   Following the  success of
nine previous editions, DALT will again aim at providing a discussion
forum to  both (i) support  the transfer of declarative  paradigms and
techniques  to   the  broader  community  of   agent  researchers  and
practitioners, and (ii) to bring  the issue of designing complex agent
systems  to  the  attention  of  researchers  working  on  declarative
languages and technologies.

DALT 2012 will have as a special interest topics those future trends of
the web, where declarative languages and technologies for multiagents
systems will play an effective role: in particular, social computing
(models of social interactions, trust, commitments, and contracts;
social  environments based on declarative technologies) and its related
semantic issues (explicit representation of knowledge and mechanisms for
allowing societies of agents to reason on that).

----------------------------------------------------------------------

CALL FOR PAPERS

The 8th International Workshop on

SERVICE-ORIENTED COMPUTING: AGENTS, SEMANTICS, AND ENGINEERING (SOCASE)

http://www.swin.edu.au/hosting/socase2010/

to be held at the 9th International Joint Conference on AUTONOMOUS AGENTS AND

MULTIAGENT SYSTEMS (AAMAS-2009) Toronto Canada, May 10-14 2010,

(http://www.cse.yorku.ca/AAMAS2010/)

 

IMPORTANT DATES

Please realize that we had to shorten the submission deadline by a week. For those who cannot make it till the 28 February we will still accept the paper till 7 March as long as we are informed about the possible paper submission till 28 February. The problem is that the AAMAS organizers need the final version of the papers by 28 February. Moreover, the deadline for early registration will end on 12 March. We will try our best to inform you about the outcome of our review process by 11 March but cannot guarantee that, especially not if we get the paper pretty late. Thus, be prepared to have to pay a slightly higher fee if you don't want to register for the workshop and AAMAS without knowing the result of the review process for your paper. Also, make sure that you can revise your paper till 28 March. This deadline cannot be extended any further.

 

Submission Deadline Acceptance Notification Final Version Submission Deadline Workshop held

DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this workshop is to present and discuss the recent significant developments at the intersections of Multi-agent Systems, Semantic Technology, and Service-oriented Computing, and to promote cross-fertilization of techniques. In particular, the workshop aims at identifying techniques from Multi-agent System and Semantic Technology research that will have the greatest impact on automating service-oriented application construction and management, focusing on critical challenges such as service quality assurance, reliability, and adaptability.

The Service-Oriented Computing: Agents, Semantics, and Engineering (SOCASE) workshop continues the theme of the previous SOCASE workshops successfully held at AAMAS’09, AAMAS’08 and AAMAS’07, the SOCABE workshops held at AAMAS’06, AAMAS’05 and the WSABE workshops held at AAMAS’04 and AAMAS’03, with an expanded theme reflecting the wide spectrum of issues of the cross section between agent-based and service-oriented paradigms.

 

TOPICS

We invite papers on all aspects relating to the overlap of Agent Technology, Semantic Web Services, and Service-oriented Computing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Agent-oriented architectures, frameworks, and infrastructures for distributed service-oriented software and Semantic Web systems

* Agent-oriented modeling and design methods and tools for service-oriented software and

Semantic Web development

* Web services and Semantic Web technologies and standards for multi-agent system design, development, and integration

* Agent-enabled adaptation, evolution, and optimization of services and processes

* Agent-based service description, advertisement, matchmaking, discovery, and brokering

* Agent-based service composition, orchestration, and choreography

* Agent-based monitoring and exception-handling for service execution and delivery

* Agent-based negotiation and management of Quality of Service and Service Level Agreements

* Deployment and distribution of agent-based service systems and service-oriented agent systems

* Agent-based service business models, application scenarios and demos (e.g. in e-Business, e-Science, Enterprise, Telecom, etc.), and lessons learned

* Ontology matching for service discovery, negotiation, orchestration, composition, and execution

* Ontology generation, hearing and reasoning, and ontology-oriented dynamic mediation among agents

 

SUBMISSION and PUBLICATION

Submission is to be done electronically. The detailed instructions are provided at the SOCASE'10 web page https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=socase10.

Contact Zakaria Maamar (Zakaria.Maamar@zu.ac.ae) for help if required.

Submitted papers have a page limit of 15 pages and should be formatted according to LNCS specification. Authors should submit the manuscript in PDF format. Instructions and templates can be found at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

Submissions will be peer-reviewed by three reviewers per paper. Selection criteria will include:

Relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, quality of presentation. Some preference may also be given to papers which address emergent trends or important common themes, or which enhance balance of workshop topics. Since this is associated with the AAMAS conference, accepted papers must be of real relevance to the multi-agent research community. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Similarly to the previous years the SOCASE 2010 post-proceedings will be published with Springer’s LNCS, subject to an appropriate number and quality of submissions. A selection of best papers will also be invited to submit extended and enhanced versions of the papers to a special issue of a major international journal.
