The IEEE/WIC/ACM 2004 joint conferences are sponsored and organized by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Computational Intelligence (TCCI) (http://www.cs.uvm.edu/~xwu/tcci/index.shtml), Web Intelligence Consortium (WIC) (http://wi-consortium.org), and ACM-SIGART (http://www.acm.org/sigart/). The upcoming meeting in this conference series follows the great successes of IAT-99 held in Hong Kong, IAT-01 held in Maebashi City, Japan, and IAT-03 held in Halifax, Canada. IAT 2004 provides a leading international forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse fields, such as computer science, information technology, business, education, human factors, systems engineering, and robotics, to (1) examine the design principles and performance characteristics of various approaches in intelligent agent technology, and (2) increase the cross-fertilization of ideas on the development of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems among different domains. By encouraging idea-sharing and discussions on the underlying logical, cognitive, physical, and sociological foundations as well as the enabling technologies of intelligent agents, IAT 2004 will foster the development of novel paradigms and advanced solutions in agent-based computing. ++++++++ Topics ++++++++ The topics and areas to be addressed include, but not limited to: * Autonomy-Oriented Computing (AOC) Agent-Based Complex Systems Modeling and Development Agent-Based Simulation Autonomy-Oriented Modeling and Computation Methods Behavioral Self-Organization Complex Behavior Characterization and Engineering Emergent Behavior Hard Computational Problem Solving Self-Organized Criticality Self-Organized Intelligence Swarm Intelligence Nature-Inspired Paradigms * Autonomous Knowledge and Information Agents Agent-Based Distributed Data Mining Agent-Based Knowledge Discovery And Sharing Autonomous Information Services Distributed Knowledge Systems Emergent Natural Law Discovery in Multi-Agent Systems Evolution of Knowledge Networks Human-Agent Interaction Information Filtering Agents Knowledge Aggregation Knowledge Discovery Ontology-Based Information Services * Agent Systems Modeling and Methodology Agent Interaction Protocols Fault-Tolerance in Multi-Agent Systems Formal Framework for Multi-Agent Systems Information Exchanges in Multi-Agent Systems Learning and Self-Adaptation in Multi-Agent Systems Mobile Agent Languages and Protocols Multi-Agent Autonomic Architectures Multi-Agent Coordination Techniques Multi-Agent Planning and Re-Planning Peer-to-Peer Models for Multi-Agent Systems Reinforcement Learning Social Interactions in Multi-Agent Systems Task-Based Agent Context Task-Oriented Agents * Distributed Problem Solving Agent-Based Grid Computing Agent Networks in Distributed Problem Solving Collective Group Behavior Coordination and Cooperation Distributed Intelligence Dynamics of Agent Groups and Populations Efficiency and Complexity Issues Market-Based Computing Problem-Solving in Dynamic Environments Distributed Search * Autonomous Auctions and Negotiation Agent-Based Marketplaces Auction Markets Combinatorial Auctions Hybrid Negotiation Integrative Negotiation Mediating Agents Pricing Agents Thin Double Auctions * Applications Agent-Based Assistants Agent-Based Virtual Enterprise Embodied Agents and Agent-Based Systems Applications Interface Agents Knowledge and Data Intensive Systems Scalability Software and Pervasive Agents Tools and Standards Ubiquitous Systems and E-Technology Agents Ubiquitous Software Services XML-Based Agent Systems +++++++++++++++++ Important Dates +++++++++++++++++ Electronic submission of full papers: April 4, 2004 Notification of paper acceptance: June 10, 2004 Workshop and tutorial proposal submission: June 10, 2004 Camera-ready of accepted papers: July 5, 2004 Workshops/Tutorials: September 20, 2004 Conference: September 21-24, 2004 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Submissions and Publication +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ High-quality papers in all IAT related areas are solicited. Papers exploring new directions or areas will receive a careful and supportive review. All submitted papers will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity. Note that IAT'04 will accept ONLY on-line submissions, containing PDF (PostScript or MS-Word) versions. The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. IAT'04 also welcomes Industry/Demo-Track submissions, Workshop and Tutorial proposals. All paper submissions will be handled electronically. More detailed instructions and the On-Line Submission Form can be found from the IAT'04 homepages: http://www.maebashi-it.org/IAT04 and http://www.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/IAT04. A selected number of IAT'04 accepted papers will be expanded and revised for inclusion in Web Intelligence and Agent Systems: An International Journal (http://wi-consortium.org/journal.html) and in Annual Review of Intelligent Informatics (http://www.wi-consortium.org/annual.html). The best paper award and the best demo award will be conferred on the authors of the best papers and the best demos at the conference. +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Conference Organization +++++++++++++++++++++++++ ***** Conference Committee ***** Conference Chairs: Jiming Liu, Hong Kong Baptist University, HK Nick Cercone, University of Dalhousie, Canada Program Chair: Ning Zhong, Maebashi Institute of Technology, Japan Program Co-Chairs: IAT-Track: Jeffrey Bradshaw, UWF/Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, USA Sankar K.
