==================
3rd IEEE International Workshop on Engineering Semantic Agent Systems (ESAS
2008)
July 28 - August 1, 2008, Turku, Finland
In Conjunction with
32nd IEEE Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference
(COMPSAC 2008) (http://www.compsac.org/) co-located with IPSJ/IEEE SAINT
Conference (http://saintconference.org/).
WORKSHOP THEME
--------------
Applying Semantic Web Technologies in Research and Development of Software
Agents, Mobile Agents and Multi-Agent Systems towards INTEGRATING THE
DISTRIBUTED WORLDS.
ESAS workshop series aims at garnering the synergy of both technologies by
taking up both the semantic web and the agent aspects of the common research
issue. Topics of interest span a wide spectrum in both theory and practice
of
autonomous semantic agents, context-aware intelligent agents, agents as
semantic web services, software agents, mobile agents, agent architectures,
multi-agent systems, agent communities, cooperation and goal seeking through
sharing policy and ontology, safety & security in systems, other QoS issues,
and so on.
There are several foci of interest:
* Software Agents, Mobile Agents, and MAS
* Agent, MAS and Semantic Web Technologies
* Ontology for Agents and MAS
* Platforms for agent and MAS implementation
* Other subjects of relevance in semantic software agents, mobile agents,
agent-based and multi-agent systems.
IMPORTANT DATES
---------------
March 17, 2008: Workshop paper submission due (Extended final)
April 10, 2008: Workshop paper notification (electronic)
April 30, 2008: All final manuscript and author pre-registration due
SUBMISSION
----------
Papers must be submitted electronically via the ESAS 2008 Submission Page
(http://rs.cs.iastate.edu/COMPSAC2008Workshops/ESAS2008/). Manuscripts will
be
limited to 6 pages including all figures, tables, and references. The format
of submitted papers must follow the IEEE conference proceedings guidelines
(i.e., 8.5" x 11", Two-Column Format (PDF: instruct.pdf; DOC: instruct.doc);
Layout Guide (PDF: format.pdf; DOC: format.doc; all under
ftp://pubftp.computer.org/press/outgoing/proceedings/).
All accepted papers will be published in the electronic conference
proceedings
by the IEEE Computer Society, indexed through INSPEC and EI Index
(Elsevier's
Engineering Information Index), and automatically included in the IEEE
Digital
Library. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register as
a
full participant of the workshop for the paper to be included in the
proceedings. Each accepted paper must be presented in person by (one of) the
author(s).
The authors of the best papers will be invited to submit extended versions
of
their work for publication in a special issue of the Expert Systems: The
Journal of Knowledge Engineering by Blackwell Publishing. ESAS 2008 is a
sequel in the very successful ESAS Workshops Series of the IEEE COMPSAC
conferences: acceptance ratio has been less than 35% in both ESAS 2006 and
ESAS 2007. Please refer to the Post-Workshop Activity section for
information
on ongoing journal publication.
