************************************************************************

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 seventh of a well established series of workshops since  2000.
Most of them have published post-proceedings in special issues of journals
such as Transportation Research C.

************************************************************************
Relevant topics include (but are not limited to):

- applications of multiagent technology in traffic, transportation, and
transport logistics
- coordination in multiagent transportation systems
- agent-based traffic control
- distributed decision making in traffic, transportation and transport
logistics
- multi-agent systems for intelligent vehicles
- mobile devices and agents in transportation systems
- intelligent monitoring of transportation systems using agents
- data collection, filtering and distribution of traffic information
- autonomous vehicles and collaborative driving
- cognitive approaches to modeling traffic participants
- machine learning approaches to transportation systems
- agent-based approaches to modelling driver behaviour
- agent-based simulation of traffic and transportation systems
- agent-based pedestrian and crowd simulation
- future technologies: opportunities for multiagent systems
- vehicle2vehicle communication and multiagent systems
- requirements and issues involved in electromobility

For ATT2012 we specially encourage submissions on real-world applications
using a minimum of assumptions about future equipments and using novel
techniques from the area of Autonomic Traffic Control and Management.

Aim & Scope
-------------------

The annual IEEE International Conference on Tools 
with Artificial Intelligence (ICTAI)
provides a major international forum where the 
creation and exchange of ideas related to
artificial intelligence are fostered among 
academia, industry, and government agencies. The
conference facilitates the cross-fertilization of 
these ideas and promotes their transfer into
practical tools, for developing intelligent 
systems and pursuing artificial intelligence
applications. The ICTAI encompasses all technical 
aspects of specifying, developing and
evaluating the theoretical underpinnings and 
applied mechanisms of the AI based components
of computer tools (i.e. algorithms, architectures and languages).
