[rede.APPIA] AAAT 2018 (Agent based Applications for Air Transport) – Call for Papers

Ana Paula Cunha Rocha
*** Please distribute. Apologies for cross-posting. ***


AAAT2018: Agent based Applications for Air Transport
University Castilla-La Mancha
Toledo, Spain, June 20-22, 2018
Conference website https://www.paams.net/workshops/aaat
Submission deadline February 5, 2018
Notification Date March 12, 2018
Camera-ready deadline March 26, 2018
Topics: intelligent agents air transport coordination disruption management

AAAT (Agent based Applications for Air Transport) is a Workshop at PAAMS: International Conference on Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems.

The aim of the AAAT Workshop is to foster the discussion on issues concerning the development of Intelligent Agents for real Air Transportation problems, including Disruption Management, Airline Operations Control, Air Traffic Management and Control, Airport Logistics, etc. Agents are, by definition, autonomous entities enable to react and adapt to changes in a complex, distributed and dynamic environment as it is the case of Air Transportation. Intelligent Agents seems to be an appropriate methodology to apply in the Air Transportation domain, since involved entities, represented by agents, can reach their ultimate goals and intentions through autonomic decision-making as well as by including features representing their own problem-solving intelligent capabilities.

On the basis of theories and methodologies borrowed from a wide spectrum of disciplines, such as the Social Sciences, Distributed Computing, Artificial Intelligence and Multi-agent Systems, and many others, many important issues arise which challenge and motivate many researchers and practitioners from multidisciplinary fields, as well as different technical and scientific communities. We encourage and welcome contributions reporting on how the scientific community and practitioners are using Agents and Multi Agent Systems techniques and methodologies to address real Air Transportation problems. This includes theoretical and/or applied research as well as applications.

[rede.APPIA] ICCC2018: Call for Workshops and Tutorials

Fernando Amílcar Bandeira Cardoso
ICCC2018: Call for Workshops and Tutorials

Dear all,
First of all, Happy and Creative New year!! From the organising committee we would like to send the call for Workshops and Tutorial for ICCC. The International Conference on Computational Creativity looks for proposals for workshops and tutorials to be held in conjunction with the ICCC2018 conference at the University of Salamanca (Salamanca, Spain). The workshops will be held on the afternoon of the 25th and 26th of June, with the conference running from the 27th through the 29th.

We welcome proposals for half-day, full-day and one-and-a-half day workshops or tutorials on any aspect of computational creativity research.  Workshops are a great opportunity to exchange ideas, and tutorials are a chance to drive broader adoption of your system or method.  The deadline for submitting workshop and tutorial proposals is February 23th (the same as ICCC conference papers).

The content and format of workshops and tutorials are at the discretion of each event’s organizers. All workshop presenters will be encouraged to submit an accompanying poster to be presented during the main conference, and workshop organizers will have an opportunity to give a short “wrap-up” presentation to the conference as a whole. The ICCC2018 local team is also working hard to offer live streaming technology and support to workshop and tutorial organizers, so that all content and discussions can be recorded and shared (if the organizers so desire).

If a proposed workshop includes a call for paper submissions, we request that workshop organizers make the absolute latest date by which authors are informed of their acceptance be no later than May 12th, 2018, with the camera-ready deadline.  

IMPORTANT DATES:

– Deadline for submitting proposals for workshops and tutorials: February 23th, 2018.
– Notification of acceptance for workshops and tutorials: March 8th, 2018.
– Deadline for submitting content to workshops: No later than April 30th, 2018.
– Deadline for notification of acceptance for workshop content: No later than May 12th, 2018.

WORKSHOPS:

Prospective workshop organizers must submit two things to iccc-2018-organising-committee@googlegroups.com by February 23th: a) a workshop proposal, and b) a ready-to-mail Call for Participation.  The workshop proposal should be less than a page in length, and contain the following:

– A description of the workshop topic and why it is an important issue in computational creativity research.
– A description of the format of the workshop, and what you intend attendees to gain from it. We are particularly interested in workshops that are structured to promote discussion and attendee participation.
– The names and full contact details of the workshop organizing committee.
-List of tentative papers (if any)  
– An indication of whether this workshop should be considered for a half-day, full-day, or one-and-a-half-day slot.

The Call for Participation should be ready for the ICCC2018 team to mail out as-is. We want prospective attendees of your workshop to have as much time as possible to prepare their submissions, so please ensure the Call is as ready to go as you can make it: workshops will be in part judged on its completeness. This call can include requests for submissions, demonstrations, systems, performances, or any other requirement the organizers feel is appropriate for the workshop topic. Organizers of successful workshop proposals will be given a short period to update this email before it is distributed. 

TUTORIALS:

Prospective tutorial organizers must submit a tutorial proposal to  iccc-2018-organising-committee@googlegroups.com by February 23th. The proposal should be less than a page in length, and contain the following:

– A description of the tutorial topic (be it a system, a method, or something else) and what it contributes to computational creativity.
– A description of the format of the tutorial, and what you intend attendees to learn from it. We are particularly interested in tutorials that offer hands-on experience to participants.
– The names and full contact details of the tutorial organising committee (which could conceivably be a single person).
– An indication of whether this workshop should be considered for a half- or full-day slot.

Thanks and regards,
María Navarro
