CALL FOR PAPERS
===============
4th IEEE International Workshop on Engineering Semantic Agent Systems (ESAS
2009)
20 July 2009 to 24 July 2009
Seattle, WA, USA.

Main theme of the workshop is Applying Semantic Technologies in Research and
Development of Distributed, Autonomous, Ontology- Enabled Multi-Agent
Systems towards Harmonizing Humans, Computers, and Software in Services
Environments. Researchers working on the following are especially encouraged
to propose papers: realization of multi-agent systems through semantic web
technology, ontology-based agent applications, distributed control and
processing applications, security & trust, interoperability, service levels
and quality issues in such systems. Enterprises and research centers
developing ontologies, languages, integrated development environments,
tools, and middleware. Other relevant topics in semantic Web and multi-agent
systems are welcome. This one-day workshop will take place IN CONJUNCTION
WITH COMPSAC 2009.

The deadline for proposals is 07 March 2009. Please check conference website
for up to date info.

Original papers will be considered. All submitted papers will be reviewed by
the program committee according to its originality, significance,
correctness, presentation, and relevance. We encourage authors to present
position papers on practical studies and experiments, critiques of existing
work, emerging issues, and novel ideas under development.

Papers must be submitted electronically via the ESAS2009 Submission Page
(URL: http://rs.cs.iastate.edu/COMPSAC2009Workshops/ESAS2009/). Manuscripts
will be limited to six pages for regular/invited paper, four pages for short
paper, two pages for fast abstract and position statement including all
figures, tables, and references. Extra page charges apply. Please consult
COMPSAC Paper Submission page for proper naming convention. 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 Xplore Digital Library. At least one of the authors of each
accepted paper must register as a full participant of COMPSAC for the paper
to be included in the proceedings. Each accepted paper must be presented in
person.

ESAS 2009 authors will be invited to submit extended versions of their
papers for publication in a special issue in an academic journal (TBD).

The authors of ESAS 2008 and 2007 were invited to submit extended versions
of their papers for publication in the Special Issue on Engineering Semantic
Agent Systems of the Expert Systems: The Journal of Knowledge Engineering by
Blackwell Publishing (http://www.wiley.com/bw/journal.asp?ref=0266-4720).
Paper selection is continuing for late 2009 publication. A special issue of
the best papers of ESAS 2006 has been published with the Multiagent and Grid
Systems - An International Journal, IOS Press, ISSN 1574-1702; Volume 4,
Number 3, 2008, pp: 293-346.
