Main Topics

Track welcomes submissions of original high-quality papers. The technical issues to be addressed include, but not limited to:

• Applications:

  • Data and knowledge intensive domains (e.g., large databases, Internet, digital libraries, financial engineering, business information systems, CSCW)

  • Interaction with software/interface agents (e.g., E-commerce, personal assistant, information filter, tutor)

  • Computational intelligence (e.g., pattern analysis and recognition, imaging, optimization, resource allocation, constraint satisfaction, planning)

  • Physically embodied systems (e.g., autonomous robots)

  • Very-large, complex, integrated intelligent systems

• Computational Architecture and Infrastructure:

  • Computational architectures, virtual machines, tools and standards

  • Ontology models, multimodal systems and interfaces

  • Agent-level and multiagent-level infrastructure

  • Communication languages and protocols

  • Heterogeneity and interoperability

  • Scalability

• Learning and Adaptation:

  • Uncertainty management in multiagent systems

  • Integrated exploration and exploitation

  • Neural networks, Artificial life, Evolutionary computation

  • Behavioral selection, behavioral self-organization, emergent behavior

  • Coordinating perception, thought, and action

  • Evolution and learning in dynamic environments

  • Adaptation and self-adaptation

  • Human-agent interaction

• Data and Knowledge Engineering/Communication:

  • Distributed knowledge systems

  • Adaptation and evolution of knowledge networks

  • Data mining, information filtering

  • Heterogeneous data integration and management

  • Knowledge discovery, Knowledge sharing, Knowledge aggregation
