Call for Book Chapters: Agent Supported Cooperative Work.
********************************************************************* * * * Call for Book Chapters * * * * Agent Supported Cooperative Work * * * * Co-editors: Yiming Ye and Elizabeth F. Churchill * * * * Publisher: Kluwer Academic Publishers (intended) * * * * Paper Due Date: January 15th, 2002 * * * ********************************************************************* **************** * Introduction * **************** Improvements in computer networking have heralded great expectations for computer-mediated distributed work. However, experience has revealed that, as information flow improves, a central problem for distributed workers is the administration, management and control of that information. Research into Computer Supported Co-operative Work (CSCW) investigates design methods and technologies for the support of collaboration, communication and coordination of distributed group work, both within and among organisations. In tandem with this focus on the support of distributed communication and collaboration, there have been exciting developments in the fields of Intelligent Agents and Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI), notably in the concepts, theories and deployment of intelligent agents as a means of distributing computer-based problem solving expertise. The concept of intelligent agents has given rise to many claims of wide applicability for these new technologies. In particular, the paradigm of multi-agent systems forms a proposed basis for the design of CSCW architectures, the support of CSCW operations and for addressing some of the problems of co-operative working. The application of a multi-agent approach to CSCW can potentially help to make information exchange among the participants easier, provide support to the participants (e.g. in the form of Decision Support Systems), assist workflows and procedures, and provide convenient user interfaces to CSCW systems. Furthermore, the ideas inherent in such an approach are also applicable to other domains, for example, support for interactive learning. Many organisations, that seek to exploit the advantages offered through CSCW, could derive benefit from the integration of agents in the management and use of their corporate knowledge. However, if agent technologies are to be effective, design issues need careful consideration: how are multi-agent architectures to be designed for maximum effect? Can such architectures be used effectively to support and enhance existing work practices? What kinds of information processing work and for what domains? How can such systems be designed to successfully complement people's existing practices and preferences? The proposed volume will offer an introduction and overview to this exciting new area, and will cover theoretical foundations and practical applications. We are particularly interested in the following topics: * multi-agent macroscopic modeling of group work * multi-agent cooperation and coordination in social group work * multi-agent mechanisms for task decomposition, dispatch and synthesis in group work * multi-agent architectures and CSCW * multi-agent engineering design support * user agents in CSCW * interface agents in CSCW * mobile agents in CSCW * agent support for distributed working * influence of agents on the work environment * role of agents in virtual work environments * agent-assisted Web-based distributed awareness * agent-assisted group-awareness * agent-assisted collaborative editing * agents and multi-agent systems in peer-to-peer computing ******************** * Paper Submission * ******************** All submitted papers will be peer reviewed on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity. Only electronic submission is accepted. Submissions should be sent by email in MS-Words, PDF, or PostScript format,to yiming@watson.ibm.com by January 15, 2002.

AAMAS-2 Second Symposium on Adaptive Agents and Multi-Agent Systems.
1. Learning and adaptation in Multi-Agent Systems: The ability to learn is especially important for an agent when there are other agents acting in the environment. An important open question is whether and how single-agent learning techniques can be adapted to and applied in a multi-agent setting. 2. Logic-based learning: The ability to incorporate background knowledge to the agents' decision-making and learning processes is arguably essential for effective performance in complex, dynamic domains. Logic-based learning mechanisms such as explanation-based learning and inductive logic programming are being used to test this hypothesis. 3. Learning and communication When several learning agents work in a team it may be beneficial for them to cooperate not just on the task achievement but also on the learning process itself. Clearly, communication is an important tool for such cooperation. 4. Natural selection, language and learning: These three issues are inter-linked through the evolutionary search for the best language bias used for learning. 5. Evolutionary agents and emergent Multi-Agent structures: Genetic algorithms are a particular machine learning approach that has been successfully applied to social simulation and other multi-agent domains. Specific techniques are still under development. One focus of this research area is on observing emergent behaviors. 6. Industrial applications of learning agents: Agent technology is already having a strong impact on various applications, including e-commerce, entertainment, human-computer interfaces, and plant control. Many of these applications are being equipped with machine learning technology. 7. Distributed Learning: The major question in this area is how agents can learn in a collaborative way as a group. This is in contrast to the alternative view on multi-agent learning where agents in a group learn individually and separate theories are obtained.

2nd International Symposium on Smart Graphics.
Advances and breakthroughs in the area of Computer Graphics have made visual media a major ingredient of the modern user interface, and it is likely that graphics will play a dominant role in the way people communicate and interact with computers in the future. Especially the evolution of computing towards more and more pervasive and distributed devices pose new and challenging problems for the effective use of graphics. Intelligent behaviour & graphics will provide the technical core of next generation interfaces. But in order to make those interfaces successful, principles and findings from Cognitive Psychology and Graphics Design are equally important to reflect the user's needs and abilities. Until recently there has been very little overlap between the Cognitive Psychology, Computer Graphics, AI and Graphics Design communities. The Smart Graphics Symposiums intend to close these gaps. Recent advances in Computer Graphics have allowed AI researchers to integrate graphics in their systems (without being burdened by low- level issues such as image rendering) and graphics acceleration hardware has become affordable and is now available for a broad range of platforms. On the other hand, many AI techniques have matured to the point of being usable by non specialists. Furthermore, these very techniques are likely to be the vehicle by which both principles from Graphics Design, and the results of research in cognitive aspects of visual representations will be integrated in next generation graphical interfaces.

ICARIS-2002 - 1st International Conference on ARtificial Immune Systems.
The field of Artificial Immune Systems is one of the more recent biologically inspired approaches to emerge from computer science. The natural immune system is an adaptive learning system that employs many parallel and complementary mechanisms for defense against foreign pathogens. It is a distributed system, capable of learning to identify previously unseen invaders and remembering what it has learnt. Numerous immune algorithms now exist, based on processes identified within human immune systems. These computational techniques have many potential applications, such as in pattern recognition, fault detection, computer security, and optimization. The aims of this conference are to strengthen this emerging research area by exploring different immunological mechanisms and their relation to information processing and problem solving. The conference will provide a great opportunity for presenting and disseminating the latest work in the field of Artificial Immune Systems, and is the first ever conference dedicated entirely to the field of AIS.
