- Call for Papers
-
- First International Conference on Intelligent and Cooperative
- Information Systems (ICICIS)
-
- May 12-14 1993
- Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands
-
- IN COOPERATION WITH: AAAI, ACM SIGART, IEEE, IFIP DC. 12, NGI
-
- Aims of the Conference Purpose of the International Conference on
- Intelligent & Cooperative Information Systems (ICICIS) is to
- provide a forum within which both the AI and DB research communities
- can come to understand the intricacies of intelligent cooperative
- work. The existence of such a forum would contribute towards the
- evolution of Intelligent Cooperative Information Systems (ICIS),
- thereby leading to its appreciation by the wider computer science
- community and its integration into the next generation of information
- systems.
-
- ICICIS addresses a two-sided problem: how can the information
- systems technology of the future benefit from AI, and what can
- information technology offer to contemporary and future AI systems.
- ICIS represents the broad area where the fields of information
- systems (in particular data/knowledge representation and modeling in
- distributed databases) and distributed AI systems overlap.
- Specifically, the conference will provide a platform for the exchange
- of ideas and for the identification of the potential roles and nature
- of the emerging notion of ICIS and will examine a wide spectrum of
- issues related to interdisciplinary research and development in
- ICIS. It will help assess the state-of-the-art and future prospects
- of ICIS.
-
- ICICIS will solicit papers describing original ideas and new results
- on the foundations and role of intelligent and cooperative
- information systems.
-
- Suggested Topics
- Suggested topics include but are not limited to:
-
- o Novel Architectures for ICIS,
- o Advanced Modeling and Reasoning Techniques for Intelligent
- Information Processing,
- o Knowledge Engineering Techniques in ICIS,
- o Higher Level Descriptive Programming Languages for ICIS,
- o Data/Knowledge Representation and Management Techniques for
- Coordinating Multiple Cooperating Agents,
- o Interoperability Issues in Distributed, Heterogeneous Knowledge
- Bases,
- o Techniques for Cooperative Distributed Problem Solving,
- o Techniques for Partitioning and Composing Data and Knowledge,
- o Effective Techniques for Cooperative Problem Solving,
- o Active Decision Support Systems,
- o Cooperative User Interfaces for Problem Solving and Effective
- Decision Making,
- o Transaction Scheduling Models for Cooperative Information Systems,
- o Models for Computer Supported Cooperative Work.
-
- The Conference welcomes methodology oriented, practical contributions,
- solid theoretical results, and empirical studies that are expected to
- have a potential impact on the emerging field of ICIS.
-
- Authors Information
- Contributions should be submitted in a double-spaced format, not
- exceeding the length of 5000 words.
