Subject: ISEAT CFP
Hi all!
As PC members for this workshop, would you please be able to circulate the
CFP to your colleagues, and relevant mailing lists?
Thanks!
Michael

* CALL FOR PAPER*
3rd International Workshop on
* Integration of Software Engineering and Agent Technology*
* (ISEAT 2008)*
Theme: Adaptability and Evolvement of Agent Systems
In conjunction with the Eighth International Conference on Quality
Software (QSIC 2008)
http://cms.brookes.ac.uk/staff/HongZhu/QSIC2008
* Oxford, UK, 12–13 August 2008 *
Background
Agents are a promising new approach for designing and building the
increasingly complex software systems that are part of the essential
infrastructure of modern society. Structuring software as a collection of
autonomous agents can give a number of benefits including increased
flexibility, adaptability, and robustness. However, much of the research on
agent-oriented software engineering is done by research community that has
strong links to intelligent agents, but weaker links to mainstream
(non-agent) software engineering and to industry.
In order for agent technology to make the shift from research labs to
industrial practice, bridges must be built between the agent research
community and the software engineering research community, and between
researchers and practicing software engineers. There have already been some
events that have begun this process of building bridges and attracting
interest in agent technology from industry. The first ISEAT workshop, which
was successfully run as part of the Fifth International Conference on
Quality Software (QSIC'05), was created with the aim of bringing together
researchers from the software engineering community and researchers from the
agent community. Through the theme of * Languages, Tools and Platforms*, the
workshop brought a pragmatic "flavor", which made it distinct from other
events that focus on agent-oriented software engineering. The theme of the
second ISEAT workshop wasagain oriented towards the pragmatic aspect by
focusing on the * architecture, model and meta-model* issues in the design
and implementation of agent-oriented systems and by addressing the
integration of the technologies and concepts of agent and software
engineering. By slightly moving from the development technologies to the
systems, this year's ISEAT focuses on *modeling and simulation of agent
systems*, which will keep up our convention to give a pragmatic flavor.
* Topics of Interest*
We solicit papers on all aspects relating to software engineering and agent
technology, and their overlap. This includes, but is not limited to, papers
on the following topics:
-
Agent-oriented programming languages, modeling languages,
specification languages, etc.
-
Agent platforms, architectures, and middleware
-
Methodologies and notations for capturing requirements and designing
agent systems
-
Testing, verification & validation, and simulation of agent systems
-
Processes and tools supporting various aspects of developing and
deploying agent systems
-
Applications of agents, and experiences and lessons
-
Relationships between agent technology and other technologies such as
objects, web services, mobile computing, and the grid
-
Adaptive reconstruction and evolvement of agent-based systems
-
Reliability and fault-tolerance in agent-based systems
* Formats and Submission*
Paper submission is by emailing a PDF file to hzhu@brookes.ac.uk with
subject line clearly indicating * submission to 3rd ISEAT workshop*. Papers
should be in IEEE format and be at most 6 pages long. For the details of the
formatting instructions please refer to the URL
http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm.
All submitted papers will be reviewed by members of the Programme
Committee. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings by
IEEE Computer Society Press. As in 2005 and 2006, selected papers from the
workshop will be invited to be extended and revised for submission to
the International
Journal of Agent-Oriented Software
Engineering<http://www.inderscience.com/ijaose/>(IJAOSE).
