Please share with colleagues and students. Paper deadline: FEBRUARY 9, 2013 (extended) * AAMAS workshop with a long and successful history, now in its 13th edition. * ACM proceedings format with up to 8 pages. * Accepted papers are eligible for inclusion in a special issue journal. *** Final Call for Papers ALA 2013: Adaptive and Learning Agents Workshop held at AAMAS 2013 (Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA). The ALA workshop has a long and successful history and is now in its 13th edition. The workshop is a merger of European ALAMAS and the American ALAg series which is usually held at AAMAS. Details may be found on the workshop web site: http://swarmlab.unimaas.nl/ala2013/ Paper management will be done at the site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ala20130 *** * Submission Deadline: February 9, 2013 (extended) * Notification of acceptance: February 27, 2013 * Camera-ready copies: March 10, 2013 * Workshop: May 6-7, 2013 *** Adaptive and Learning Agents, particularly those in a multi-agent setting are becoming more and more prominent as the sheer size and complexity of many real world systems grows. How to adaptively control, coordinate and optimize such systems is an emerging multi-disciplinary research area at the intersection of Computer Science, Control theory, Economics, and Biology. The ALA workshop will focus on agent and multi-agent systems which employ learning or adaptation. The goal of this workshop is to increase awareness and interest in adaptive agent research, encourage collaboration and give a representative overview of current research in the area of adaptive and learning agents and multi-agent systems. It aims at bringing together not only scientists from different areas of computer science but also from different fields studying similar concepts (e.g., game theory, bio-inspired control, mechanism design). This workshop will focus on all aspects of adaptive and learning agents and multi-agent systems with a particular emphasis on how to modify established learning techniques and/or create new learning paradigms to address the many challenges presented by complex real-world problems. The topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Novel combinations of reinforcement and supervised learning approaches * Integrated learning approaches that work with other agent reasoning modules like negotiation, trust models, coordination, etc. * Supervised multi-agent learning * Reinforcement learning (single and multi-agent) * Planning (single and multi-agent) * Reasoning (single and multi-agent) * Distributed learning * Adaptation and learning in dynamic environments * Evolution of agents in complex environments * Co-evolution of agents in a multi-agent setting * Cooperative exploration and learning to cooperate and collaborate * Learning trust and reputation * Communication restrictions and their impact on multi-agent coordination * Design of reward structure and fitness measures for coordination * Scaling learning techniques to large systems of learning and adaptive agents * Emergent behaviour in adaptive multi-agent systems * Game theoretical analysis of adaptive multi-agent systems * Neuro-control in multi-agent systems * Bio-inspired multi-agent systems * Applications of adaptive and learning agents and multi-agent systems to real world complex systems * Learning of Co-ordination *** Submission Details: Papers can be submitted through Easychair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ala20130 Submissions may be up to 8 pages in the ACM proceedings format (i.e., the same as AAMAS papers in the main conference track). Accepted work will be allocated time for oral presentation during the one day workshop. Papers accepted at the workshop will also be eligible for inclusion in a planned special issue journal published after the workshop. *** Organization Workshop chairs: Sam Devlin (University of York, UK) Daniel Hennes (Maastricht University, The Netherlands) Enda Howley (National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland) If you have any questions about the ALA workshop, please contact Enda Howley at: enda.howley (AT) nuigalway.ie Senior Steering Committee Members: Daniel Kudenko (University of York, UK) Ann Nowé (Vrije Universiteit Brussels, Belgium) Peter Stone (University of Texas at Austin, USA) Matthew Taylor (Lafayette College, USA) Kagan Tumer (Oregon State
[UAI] RTCSA 2013 Call for Workshop Proposals
[ Please accept our apologies if you get multiple copies of this message ] --- RTCSA 2013 Call for Workshop Proposals Web site: www.rtcsa.org --- The IEEE International Conference on Embedded and Real-Time Computing Systems and Applications (RTCSA) is the premier conference of the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Real-Time Systems located in Asia. The 19th edition will take place in Taipei, Taiwan, from August 19th to 22nd, 2013. This is the first year that RTCSA is running an open call for workshops to be co-located with the event. The workshops will be held on August 21st. The purpose of the workshops are: * to strengthen interactions between the real-time community and other related research areas; * to create a stimulating environment that facilitates the discussion of open or hot research topics. Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit workshop proposals. Proposals should consist of two parts. First, a short scientific justification of the proposed topic, its significance, and the particular benefits of the workshop to the research community, as well as a list of previous or related workshops (if any). Second, an organizational part should include: * contact information of the workshop organizers; * estimate of the audience size; * proposed format (contributed short papers or long abstracts, invited papers, open discussion, keynote speakers, etc.); * potential invited speakers, if any; * proposed sponsorships, if any; * procedures for selecting papers and participants, if any (program committee, review process, etc.); * plans for dissemination, if any (website, special issues of journals, etc.); * special technical or audio/video needs; * any other relevant information. Submission of proposals should be made by sending an email to Thomas Nolte (thomas.no...@mdh.se).
