[ CFP ]:
The 3rd International Workshop on Collaborative Online Organizations
(COOS'15)

- In conjunction with AAMAS
- May 4, 2015, Istanbul, Turkey
- URL: http://www2.cs.siu.edu/~mas/coos15


[ Scope ]:

There is a strong ongoing trend for traditional organizations to adapt to
the socially networked nature of the human population. This trend allows
organizations to be transformed from bricks and mortar to a more online
form. In COOS'15, we aim to understand the current range of nascent
network-centric organizations. At one end of the spectrum, this includes
human efforts to form collaborative units. On the other end of the
spectrum, we seek to understand techniques and methodologies for
constructing online agent organizations that represent the interests of
their human counterparts and take actions autonomously.

The workshop will reflect the impacts of social network proliferation and
the beginnings of agent systems that exploit and explore opportunities
heralded by social media and the ever-faster pace of interconnectivity.
Agents must multitask. Beyond performing their design tasks, they must be
aware of the social climate of their environment. They must account for
interactions with other agents and humans so as to perform social acts in
order to complement their physical and speech acts.

A substantial amount of research work is advancing distributed knowledge
management. Therefore, this workshop will emphasize the operational
elements of social networks that facilitate elements of online
organizations. Social as well as cognitive foundations surrounding network
organizations are of special interest and the focal theme. This theme
includes social capital and the nature of interactions among individuals
engaged in meaningful exchange.

- Agent-based networked environments
