| CALL FOR PAPERS |
| Smart Adaptive Agent Applications (SA3) Workshop |
| EUNITE 2004, Aachen Germany: 10-12 June 2004 |
| DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION February 15, 2004 |
Introduction
When designing agent systems, it is impossible to foresee all potential situations an agent may encounter and specify the agents' behavior optimally in advance. Agents therefore have to learn from and adapt to their environment. This task is even more complex when the agent is situated in an environment that contains other agents with potentially different capabilities and goals. Multi-agent learning, i.e., the ability of agents to learn how to co-operate and compete, becomes crucial in such domains.Adaptive Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (AAMAS) is an emerging multi-disciplinary area encompassing agents, machine learning, software engineering, biology, as well as cognitive and social sciences. One of the major challenges faced in this field is the transfer of technologies that have been successful in simple domains to real-world applications.
The SA3 workshop will focus on such applications of smart adaptive agents and multi-agent systems. Three keynote speakers from industry will be invited to present examples of the use of adaptive agent technology in industrial applications.
The goal of this workshop is to increase awareness and interest in adaptive agent research, encourage collaboration between members of EUNITE and ALAD, and give a representative overview of current applications in the area of adaptive agents. The EUNITE 2004 Conference is the fourth conference organized by the European Network of Excellence EUNITE. The conference will feature state-of-the-art presentations as well as new developments in fuzzy logic, neural networks, evolutionary computation and machine learning. The focus will be on adaptive systems, with a special interest in solving industrial problems.
Topics of Interest The workshop will focus on (but will not be restricted to) applications of smart adaptive agents for:
- Embodied Conversational Agents,
- System Control
- Information Retrieval and Presentation
- Transport Systems
- Ambient Intelligence
- Health Care
- E-Commerce
- Telecommunications
- Interactive Entertainment
- Military Organisation
The workshop on Smart Adaptive Agent Applications is jointly organized by the European Network of Excellence EUNITE and the ALAD SIG (Agents that Learn, Adapt and Discover) of the European Network of Excellence AgentLink II.
