CALL FOR PAPERS
International Workshop on Massively Multiagent Systems
December 10-11, 2004
Kyoto Research Park, Kyoto, Japan
We are now in the era of ubiquitous computing and networking: millions of
electronic devices with computing facilities are connected with each other
in ad hoc ways, and are required to behave coherently. Massively multiagent
systems can be a major design paradigm or an implementation method for
ubiquitous computing and networking. As infrastructure of massively
multiagent systems, technologies such as grid computing together with
semantic annotation can be combined with agent technologies. A new system
design approach, society-centered design, may be realized by embedding
participatory technologies in human society. Applications include
large-scale navigation, scientific or social simulations, e-home, e-offices,
e-cities and e-science.
The aim of this workshop is to encourage existing activity in this field,
and to bring together computer science, information science, and social
science participants concerned with massively multiagent systems and
applications. The workshop will consist of invited talks, oral and poster
presentations, and panels. Participation in the workshop is by invitation
only, and is limited to around 40 professionals who have made significant
contributions to the topics of the meeting. People wishing to be invited
are requested to submit first an abstract (to signal your interest and
contribution) and then a full paper (for review) to the workshop. All
accepted papers will be published as a volume from Springer-Verlag after
the workshop.
We would prefer not to rigorously limit topics under the general category of
the workshop. Nonetheless, some candidate topics are listed below:
Massively multi-agent infrastructure
Massively multi-sensor systems
Self-organization technologies
Design and analysis of massively multi-agent systems
Large-scale participatory technologies
Integrating massively multiagent systems and social worlds
Application of massively multi-agent systems
Massively multi-agent simulation
Mega navigation
Submit your abstract (ascii text, 300 words or less) and full paper (Word or
pdf) written in English, by e-mail to workshop@digitalcity.jst.go.jp. Full
papers should be submitted camera-ready in Springer Lecture Note Series
(LNCS) format. Please follow the instructions for authors available at the
Springer LNCS Web page: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
Submitted full papers should be 12 to 15 pages long in this LNCS format.
Surface mail address, email addresses should be included for all
contributing authors.
Deadline for abstract: August 15th, 2004
Deadline for full paper: September 1st, 2004
Author notification: October 1st, 2004
Deadline for camera ready paper: November 1st, 2004
Deadline for camera ready postproceedings paper: February 1st, 2005
The workshop attendees are also encouraged to attend the collocated JST
international symposiums, which will be held on December 9th (see
http://www.digitalcity.jst.go.jp/conferences/2004/symposium/).
We provide limited financial support to students and other researchers who
are co-authors of accepted papers to give their presentation at the
workshop. In order to apply for travel grant please send the following
