Handbook of Research on Nature Inspired Computing for Economy and
Management
http://www.grenoble-em.com/rennardjp/nicbook/index.html

Introduction

Nobel Prize recipient Illya Prigogine wrote some years ago a book
entitled "The End of Certainty". Specialized in non-linear systems,
the great chemist emphasized in this text the importance of the
scientific revolution initiated a century ago by the French
mathematician Henri Poincaré: scientific certainty inherited from
Laplace is a mirage; non-linearity, complexity and chaos are the new
frontiers of science.
The advance of computer science and the remarkable growth of computing
power over the last thirty years have made the computer a fantastic
tool to cope with complexity. The emergence of nature inspired
computing is one of the most amazing achievements of these researches.
The universality of the computing techniques inherited from nature,
i.e. their applications as well in biology, physics, engineering as in
economy or management, clearly demonstrates their depth. These new
tools are used in two different ways, both highly promising for
economy and management: emergent (bottom-up) simulations and
optimization. Emergent simulations lead to a better understanding of
complex interactions and to original theoretical approaches. Nature
inspired algorithms for optimization lead to efficient, supple and
adaptable tools.

Objectives of the book

Specifically dedicated to economy and management, this book aims to
provide a state-of-the-art synthesis and future trends.
At the crossroads of computer science, economy and management, the
works that will be presented will contribute to a better knowledge and
a better control of complex economic dynamics. By showing the
diversity of the potential of nature inspired tools as well as their
conceptual unity, this book will be an original contribution to the
field. By presenting innovative computing tools and theoretical
interpretations, it will provide a significant contribution both to
practitioners and academics. It should bring the first a general
knowledge of the numerous applications of that new field, and
contribute to give the other a global vision of these researches.
The book will gather contributions of top researchers of economics,
management and computer sciences. With more than 50 chapters, it will
provide a comprehensive reference on the field.

Subject: [ecomas] Mas and EC request for advice




I am developing a Multiagent system for data collection.
I have been reading recently some papers on EC and Genectic Algorithms.
But still lack the necessary knoledge to evaluate their true potential
and aplication power to my needs. I seek some advice on the following
problem. I have several agents that are in charge of colecting
references to documents and collecting the referenced documents. All
this happen in a assyncronous and autonumous ways. The colecting
actions, on the current stage of development, are triggered in a ciclic
behaviour. I can gather profiling data of the amount of reports and its
distribution along the day. I would like to optimize the execution
process by changing cyclic actions frequency in order to deal with
bandwidht/resources constrains. Do you think it could be a problem
solved by an EC approach. The environment constraints (reports rate of
production, resources , load) change dynamically but there are some
hourly patterns on document rate of production. Basically can EC
techniques help on the estimation of ciclic parameteres  of agent
behaviours.

Thanks

---------------------------
I apologize for cross-postings. Please distribute to interested colleagues.
---------------------------

Themes & Topics:
SAACS are systems which are self-managed, self-healing, self-organised, that
are ultra-reliable, robust, yet dynamically flexible. So far, the computing
community may have focussed on one aspect or another of these requirements,
but we believe that never before the ambitious target of developing an ICT
system that exhibits all these features have been contemplated before. These
systems cannot be controlled centrally, but form complex self-organising
computational environments, for which decentralized forms of control have to
be invented. The research departments of the big IT companies have started,
in earnest, initiatives (e.g. IBM's Autonomic Computing, Microsoft's Dynamic
Systems Initiative (DSI), Sun's N1 and HP's Adaptive Infrastructure) to
focus on this kind of control. It's claimed that such systems are the most
promising way forward to manage ever increasingly complex systems with less
resources.

1. System Analysis: Theoretical and simulation frameworks for analyzing
performance of autonomic systems, evaluation criteria for dynamic
adaptation; Tools (simulators, analytical models, middleware, compilers,
debuggers, system management facilities, etc.); Software and hardware
concepts for dynamic problem detection 2. System Design: Software
engineering support, design metaphors and frameworks for self-organization,
self-healing, self-configuration,
self-protection; dynamic fault diagnosis and correction; workload
characterization; self-recognition; machine learning and defense strategies;
dynamic stability; dynamic adaptation; reflective programming; Balancing
optimization versus robustness; Architecture designs for underlying
hardware. 3. System Control: Approaches for managing SAACS
(economic/market-based, nature-, biology-, immunology- inspired, cognition
science, chemistry,
physics); Performance management; Software agents, multi-agent systems;
service and resource management; network monitoring and characterization;
data migration and management; service discovery and management; performance
modelling and analysis; load balancing and dynamic stability. 4.
Applications: Integrating SAACS with Peer-to-Peer infrastructure, Multiagent
systems, Communication Networks, Databases, Grid Computing, Pervasive
Computing; Application-level adaptation and exploitation of underlying
system's autonomic capabilities; Commercial and mission critical
applications; Managing self-adaptive autonomic computing systems.

---------------------------
Call for Papers & Submission details
The workshop will be organized in a manner designed to foster interaction
and exchange of ideas among the participants. Authors are invited to submit
original research contributions or experience reports of previously
unpublished work. The submission must not be simultaneously submitted for
publication elsewhere in a workshop or a conference or magazine, in any
form, electronic or otherwise.
Papers should be in English and be no more than 5 double-column pages long
in conformance to the IEEE CS Press guidelines.
(http://computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm). The accepted papers will be
published by the IEEE Computer Society in a Dexa 2004 Workshops Proceedings
of all workshops. Authors should submit an electronic copy of their paper as

Problem Solving using Evolutionary Computation - 2004
=========================================

An Intensive 5-Day Course

The Centre of Excellence for Research in Computational Intelligence and
Applications (CERCIA) will be running an intensive 5-Day course on
Evolutionary Computation from Monday, 19th of Janauary to Friday, 23rd of
Janauary, 2004.

This course assumes no background in Evolutionary Computation and builds a
rigorous foundation from scratch. The course is especially useful for those
who are working in Industry and wish to get practical skills that will help
them solve complex problems to which no satisfactory solutions exist. The
participant is introduced to Evolutionary Computation and is coached by our
team of experts to solve problems like: -
++Parameter Tuning and Optimisation
++Shortest Path finding
++Solving problems with Multiple Objectives
++Creative Design

CERCIA is one of the world's leading centres for research in Computational
Intelligence (CI) technologies and regularly organises short courses for
students and those working in industry. These courses are taught by experts
in their respective fields and are designed to either introduce or impart
advanced knowledge in the field of CI.

Course Details
==========
This course does not assume any previous knowledge in Evolutionary
Computation. Some programming experience in an object oriented programming
language (like JAVA) is recommended but not necessary. The course begins
with a thorough introduction to the field of Evolutionary Computation (EC)
and on each subsequent day covers one application area of the technique. The
course format places great emphasis on learning-by-doing and on each day
lecture sessions are followed by tutored lab session in which the student
solves practical problems using EC techniques covered earlier in the day. We
strongly feel that on completion of this course the student will be able to
apply EC techniques to practical problems. For a detailed time-table of the
course please see overleaf.

The cost of the course is £650 (this includes Lunch and Coffee). There are
20 full scholarships (available on a first-come first-serve basis) and
several partial scholarships available to West-Midlands residents and
businesses. Partial scholarships are also available for full-time students
and academics. Please visit the CERCIA website (www.cercia.ac.uk) or contact
CERCIA for further details.

The DIET Agents platform has been released as Open Source. It is a
light-weight, multi-agent platform for decentralised computing. A
bottom-up design was used to ensure that the platform is lightweight,
scalable, robust, adaptive and extensible. It is especially suitable for
rapidly developing peer-to-peer prototype applications and adaptive,
distributed applications that use bottom-up or nature-inspired
techniques.

The platform is available from the DIET Agents website at
http://diet-agents.sourceforge.net. The website also provides other
resources, such as details about the design philosophy, a tutorial, API
documentation, access to mailing lists and a basic visualiser.

Agents in the platform can be thought of as small, mobile processes.
Agents have a minimal memory footprint and inter-agent communication can
be very fast. It is possible to run over 100,000 agents on an ordinary
desktop machine and there are no inherent limitations on scalability
when running applications across multiple machines. The fail-fast,
resource constrained execution of kernel functions lets systems
gracefully cope with overload and failure. Feedback provided by the
kernel enables agents to adapt to changing conditions and overload. A
high quality Object-Oriented design ensures that the code is general,
modular and extensible.

We encourage everyone to download the software, try it out and we
welcome any feedback.

Hi,

SV_RFID (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sv_rfid/)
is a Yahoo group that aims to gather together those
who have common interest in RFID, not only as just
a technology but also as a huge business
opportunity.

A quote from Forrester Research says,


"This technology (RFID) could radically change
the relationship between the customer and the
product. Fast forward 10 years, and it could
change the paradigm of what retailing is all
about." 

For a quick tour of how this technology
may affect your life please go to,

http://www.autoidcenter.org/aboutthetech_idiotsguide.asp

SV_RFID hopes to provide an environment where
members can communicate and share their passions,
visions, thoughts, concerns about RFID technology
as well as its business opportunities.

More specifically from technology perspective we
encourage discussions regarding tags, readers,
software infrastructure, database, datamining etc.
From  business applications perspective we may
cover topics in SCM, ERP, EAI, middleware,
logistics, retail, manufacturing, homeland
security, medical devices, airlines, automotive,
government, etc. We would also like to discuss
issues regarding privacy, security and standards.

Our members include executives, professors, VCs,
engineers, lawyers, business analysts, university
students, etc.

We cordially invite you to join us!

SV_RFID Group Moderator

Dr. Sapna Negi

   I am very interested to know about your Instiutute and the course on BioInfomatics.

  A Question:  For those for whom it is not possible to physically attend the course, is it possible to get the learning materials ?   If so,  what would the approximate cost be ?

  A related question-- Any possibility of a Correspondence course ? 

  I would be also interested in knowing what areas of research are being pursued in your Institute.

Thanks.
