Agent Day 2013

Kraków, Poland, September 8-11, 2013

 

During the last decade agent systems have been constantly developed and many approaches were successful in such areas as transport, decision support, distributed monitoring and control systems, computation. Such immanent features of the agents like autonomy or task-orientation assured the result. These (and others) features of the agent systems may be further extended to produce new paradigms for constructing scalable computing systems with focus on grid computing, cloud computing, resilient control and monitoring systems, SCADA and many more.

It is also worth noticing, that hardware available  several years ago, such as computing clusters, are nowadays outperformed by simple desktop sets or even portable computers. Even environment appliances such as gaming consoles or GPUs may be used to perform complex computations in parallel, much faster than even multi-core CPUs. Such a plethora of possibilities calls for promotion and dissemination of results and ideas connected  or inspired by agent-based systems or their features.

Topics

For  the “Agent Day” Session we would like to give guidance in the subject, as the following topics, that do not exhaust all the possibilities:

  • multi-agent management, scheduling, load-balancing
  • multi-agent computation and simulation
  • stochastic and structural modeling of complex systems
  • distributed and grid computing
  • software reuse in complex systems
  • GPU and gaming consoles for computing
  • nature-inspired, evolutionary and memetic computing
  • scalability, extendability, resilience in complex systems
  • mobile robotics
  • data-intensive computing
  • various application of multi-agent systems

Paper Submission, Publication and Indexation

  • Authors should submit full papers in English (as Postscript, PDF, MSWord, or ODF file).
  • The total length of a paper must not exceed 8 pages IEEE style (including tables, figures and references). IEEE style templates are available here.
  • Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the conference.
  • Submitted papers must be unpublished and not under review in any other conference or journal (submissions that violate this requirement will be regarded as self-plagiarism).
  • Organizers reserve right to move accepted papers between FedCSIS events.
  • Only papers presented at the conference will be included in the IEEE Xplore® database and submitted for indexation.
  • Extended versions of selected papers presented during the conference may be published as Special Issue(s) of journal(s)to be announced later.
