Seventh International Bi-Conference Workshop on Agent-Oriented
Information Systems (AOIS-2005) (http://www.aois.org)
In Conjunction with ER2005, October 24-28, Klagenfurt, Austria
(http://www.ifi.uni-klu.ac.at/Conferences/ER2005)
Call for papers
Agent concepts hold great promise for responding to the new
realities of active information systems. They offer higher level
abstractions and mechanisms which address issues such as knowledge
representation and reasoning, communication, coordination,
cooperation among heterogeneous and autonomous parties,
perception, commitments, goals, beliefs, intentions, etc. On the
one hand, the concrete implementation of these concepts can lead
to advanced functionalities, e.g., in inference-based query
answering, transaction control, adaptive workflows, brokering and
integration of disparate information sources, and automated
communication processes.
On the other hand, their rich representational capabilities allow
more faithful and flexible treatments of complex organizational
processes, leading to more effective requirements analysis and
architectural and detailed design.
The workshop will focus on how agent concepts and techniques will
contribute to meeting information systems needs today and
tomorrow.
The workshop encourages submissions on all topics related to AOIS,
including (but not limited to) the following:
* agent-oriented modeling and design methods
* models and architectures for agent-oriented/active information systems
* novel information system technologies based on software agents
* agent-oriented requirements engineering
* agents and knowledge management
* agent-oriented approaches to data integration
* agent-based workflow modeling
* agent orientation and e-services/web services
* agent orientation in web information systems
* agent-oriented enterprise and business process modeling
* agent communication languages for business communication
* ontologies and agents
* managing trust and reputation
* automated business-to-business interaction (including negotiation and
contracting)
Special Track on: Agent-Oriented Methodologies and Conceptual
Modeling
Following the tradition of previous AOIS workshops, AOIS at
ER-2005 will include a special track on a narrowly focused topic,
which, for this edition, will be: "Agent-Oriented Methodologies
and Conceptual Modeling", in response to the need to be
fundamentally focused on the modeling principles of
agent-orientation.
Agent Orientation (AO) has emerged, in the last years, as an
interesting paradigm to deal with real world abstraction and
organization representation, since it allows for a better
understanding and communication of the users' requirements, the
design artefacts, the system architecture, and the final
information system implementation, deployment, and usage
evaluation. The privileged link between concepts from real
organizations (where actors and objectives play the primary role)
and design and implementation elements (based on agents and goals,
as well) makes of AO a favourable tool to foster communication
between technology experts and stakeholders. Several
Agent-Oriented Requirements and Software Engineering Methodologies
(such as i*, AAII, Gaia, MaSE, Message/UML, OPEN/Agent, PASSI,
Prometheus, AORML, Tropos and REF, among others), and their
embedded modeling languages, rely on this capability, to propose
approaches which deal with the difficult process of IS development
---from requirements elicitation to system deployment--- aimed at
having an higher level of uniformity, manageability,
understandability and acceptability than traditional component
based on OO approaches. To this end, the proposed conceptual
modeling languages need to appropriately incorporate the very
notions of agent, role, goal, task and the like. This is
accomplished either by extending OO notions or by introducing
somehow specialized or ad-hoc representations.
The aim of this special track is to promote a deeper understanding
of the agent-based conceptual notions and the impact they have on
conceptual modeling languages and methods adopted by or created
for Agent-Oriented Methodologies. Papers on conceptualization and
representation of agent notions, on ontological description of
agent-oriented modeling, on technical issues raised by agent
modeling related languages definition, management and processing,
on agent modeling languages and processes meta-modeling are
sought. As well, comparisons, along these lines, among the
different approaches in the AO community as well as with the more
traditional OO conceptual modeling mainstream are welcome.
Submission
Papers should be limited to 10 pages, Springer LNCS format
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Accepted papers
will be published as part of the ER2005 Workshop volume, planned
for publication by Springer in their LNCS series and distributed
during the workshop.
Paper submission is by emailing a PDF file to aois@itc.it. The
deadline for receiving papers is 20 June 2005. (extended deadline)
Similarly to AOIS 04 and AOIS 03, there are also plans to propose
the best papers of the AOIS @ ER2005 workshop for publication
(after revision and additional refereeing) in a specific LNCS
volume together with papers from AOIS @ AAMAS 05.
For these post-proceedings, authors of selected papers will be
invited to extend their papers, which will be re-reviewed for the
LNCS publication.
Papers for the special track (Agent-Oriented Methodologies and
Conceptual Modeling) should be clearly identified.
