>IAT 2012 provides a leading international forum to bring together
>researchers and practitioners from diverse fields, such as computer
>science, information technology, business, education, 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 2012
>will foster the development of novel paradigms and advanced solutions
>in agent and multi-agent based computing.
>
>IAT 2012 will be jointly held with the 2012 IEEE/WIC/ACM International
>Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2012) and co-locate with AMT'12,
>BI'12, and ISMIS'12 as a Congress, a Special Event of the Alan Turing
>Year (Centenary of Alan Turing's birth). Furthermore, WI-IAT 2012 will
>include workshops providing in-depth background on subjects that are
>of broad interest to Web intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology
>communities. The workshop programs will focus on new research
>challenges, initiatives and applications.
>
>The topics and areas include, but not limited to:
>1) Autonomy-Oriented Computing (AOC)
>2) Agent and Multi-Agent Systems Modeling
>3) Agent and Multi-Agent Systems Engineering
>4) Autonomous Auctions and Negotiation
>5) Autonomous Knowledge and Information Agents
>6) Coordination
>7) Distributed Problem Solving
>8) Applications
>
>High-quality papers in all IAT related areas are solicited. Paper
>submissions should be limited to a maximum of 8 pages in the IEEE
>2-column format. The same format will be used for final camera-ready
>papers (see the Author Guidelines at
>http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting).
>
>All submitted papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee on the
>basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity.
>
>Note that IAT 2012 will accept ONLY on-line submissions in PDF
>format. Accepted papers will be published in the conference
>proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press that is indexed by EI.
