Kit Fine will talk on "Truthmaking and Semantics" as part of the Information Artifact Ontologies workshop. In the Formal Ontologies meet Industry workshop, Mara Abel will speak about why we should bother with good models. For the Logics and Ontologies for Natural Language workshop, the invited speakers are Renata Vieira and Adam Pease. Additional workshop details may be found at http://fois2014.inf.ufes.br/p/workshops.html The summer school website may be found at http://iaoa.org/isc2014/ A list of accepted papers for FOIS can be found at http://fois2014.inf.ufes.br/p/blog-page_16.html ----------------------------------- DEFINITION AND SCOPE ----------------------------------- Ontology, originally a fundamental part of philosophical enquiry, is concerned with the analysis and categorization of what exists. In recent years, however, a complementary focus of ontological inquiry gained significant momentum fueled by the advent of complex information systems which rely on robust and coherent, formal representations of their subject matter. The systematic study of such representations, their axiomatics, their corresponding reasoning techniques and their relations to cognition and reality, are at the center of the modern discipline of formal ontology. Formal ontology in this modern sense is now a research focus in such diverse domains as conceptual modeling, database design, software engineering, artificial intelligence, computational linguistics, the life sciences, bioinformatics, geographic information science, knowledge engineering, information retrieval, and the Semantic Web. Researchers in all these areas increasingly recognize the need for serious engagement with ontology to provide a foundation for their work, where ontology is understood as a general theory of the types of entities and relations making up their respective domains of enquiry. The FOIS conference is designed to provide a meeting point for researchers from all disciplines with an interest in formal ontology. The conference encourages submission of high quality articles on both theoretical issues and concrete applications. As in previous years, FOIS 2014 is intended as a nexus of interdisciplinary research and communication. FOIS is the flagship conference of the International Association for Ontology and its Applications (IAOA, website: http://iaoa.org/), which is a non-profit organization the purpose of which is to promote interdisciplinary research and international collaboration at the intersection of philosophical ontology, linguistics, logic, cognitive science, and computer science, as well as in the applications of ontological analysis to conceptual modeling, knowledge engineering, knowledge management, information-systems development, library and information science, scientific research, and semantic technologies in general. ------------------------------ FORMAT ------------------------------ FOIS is a growing conference, and the 2014 edition will add a number of new facets, including + a formal ontology competition, + an open call for workshops, and + an early career symposium. It will moreover be directly preceded by the Second Interdisciplinary Summer School on Ontological Analysis, to be held in Vitoria, Brazil, between September 15-19. See http://iaoa.org/isc2014/ ------------------------------ SCOPE OF FOIS - TOPICS OF INTEREST ------------------------------ We seek high-quality papers on a wide range of topics. Concerning scope, an ideal FOIS paper will address both content-related ontological issues and their formal modeling, as well as their impact and relevance for some aspects of information systems. Areas of particular interest to the conference include the following: Foundational Issues * Kinds of entities: particulars/universals, continuants/occurrents, abstracta/concreta, dependent entities/independent entities, natural objects/artifacts * Formal relations: parthood, identity, connection, dependence, constitution, causality, subsumption, instantiation * Vagueness and granularity * Space, time, and change Methodological issues * Role of reference ontologies * Top-level vs. domain-specific ontologies * Relationship with cognition, language and semantics * Formal comparison among ontologies * Ontology integration and alignment Domain-specific ontologies * Ontology of physical reality (matter, space, time, motion, etc.) * Ontology of biological reality (genes, proteins, cells, organisms, etc.) * Ontology of mental reality and agency (beliefs, intentions, emotions, percepts, etc.) * Ontology of artifacts, functions and roles * Ontology of social reality (institutions, organizations, norms, social relationships, artistic expressions, languages, etc.) Applications: * Ontology-driven information systems design * Ontological foundations for conceptual modeling * Knowledge management * Qualitative modeling * Computational linguistics * Information retrieval * Semantic Web, Web services * Business modeling * Ontologies for particular scientific disciplines (biology, chemistry, geography, physics, cognitive sciences, linguistics etc.) * Ontologies for engineering: shape, form and function, artifacts, manufacturing, design, architecture, etc. * Ontologies for the humanities: arts, cultural studies, history, law, literature, philosophy, etc. -------------------------------------------- CONFERENCE ORGANISATION -------------------------------------------- Conference Chair: Laure Vieu (CNRS, France) Program Chairs: Pawel Garbacz (Catholic University of Lublin, Poland) Oliver Kutz (Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg, Germany) Organizational Chairs: Giancarlo Guizzardi (Federal University of Espirito Santo Brazil) Renato Rocha Souza (FGV, Brazil) Workshop Chairs: Robert Hoehndorf (University of Cambridge, UK) Ontology Competition Chairs: Till Mossakowski (Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg, Germany) Early Career Symposium Chairs: Marion Haemmerli (University of Lausanne, Switzerland) Torsten Hahmann (University of Maine, USA) Claudio Masolo (ISTC-CNR, Italy) Publicity Chairs: Janna Hastings (European Bioinformatics Institute, UK) Fernanda Baiao (Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Janna Hastings Email: hastings at ebi.ac.uk | Tel: +44 (0)1223 494411 | Fax: +44 (0)1223 494468 Twitter: @jannahastings | ORCID: 0000-0002-3469-4923 | Web: www.ebi.ac.uk/~hastings Coordinator, Cheminformatics and Metabolism, European Bioinformatics Institute ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Visit ChEBI at www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi -------------- nächster Teil -------------- Ein Dateianhang mit HTML-Daten wurde abgetrennt...

RATIONALE As the Web rapidly evolves, Web users and Web contents are evolving with it. In an era of social connectedness, people are becoming increasingly enthusiastic about interacting, sharing, and collaborating through social networks, online communities, blogs, Wikis, and other online collaborative media. In recent years, this collective intelligence has spread to many different areas, with particular focus on fields related to everyday life such as commerce, tourism, education, and health, causing the size of the Web to expand exponentially. The distillation of knowledge from such a large amount of unstructured information, however, is an extremely difficult task, as the contents of today's Web are perfectly suitable for human consumption, but remain hardly accessible to machines. To this end, biologically and linguistically motivated computational paradigms that go beyond syntax are needed. Intelligent and evolutionary systems potentially have a large future possibility to play an important role in natural language processing (NLP) research for tasks such as grammatical evolution, knowledge discovery, and rule learning. In this light, this Special Session focuses on the introduction, presentation, and discussion of novel NLP systems that are not merely based on domain-dependent corpora or word co-occurrence counts, but rather systems that can be considered intelligent and evolutionary. The main motivation for the Special Session, in particular, is to go beyond a mere word-level analysis of text and provide novel concept-level approaches to natural language processing that allow a more efficient passage from (unstructured) textual information to (structured) machine-processable data, in potentially any domain. Articles are thus invited in areas such as AI, Semantic Web, knowledge-based systems, machine learning, and computational intelligence for NLP research. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Intelligent and evolutionary systems for information extraction and retrieval - Intelligent and evolutionary systems for text summarization and visualization - Intelligent and evolutionary systems for topic modeling - Intelligent and evolutionary systems for sentiment analysis - Intelligent and evolutionary systems for knowledge acquisition - Intelligent and evolutionary systems for social network analysis - Intelligent and evolutionary systems for adaptive and transfer learning - Intelligent and evolutionary systems for agents and complex systems - Intelligent and evolutionary systems for evolutionary game theory - Intelligent and evolutionary systems for bioinformatics The Special Session also welcomes papers on specific application domains of natural language procesing, e.g., social data mining, influence networks, customer experience management, computer mediated human-human communication, social media marketing, multimedia management, personalization and persuasion, enterprise feedback management, human-agent, -computer and -robot interaction, intelligent user interfaces, patient opinion mining, surveillance, art. The authors will be required to follow the Author's Guide for manuscript submission to the 18th Asia Pacific Symposium on Intelligent and Evolutionary Systems (http://ies-2014.org/submission.html).

The conference has been held annually since 2007 in College Park (USA), Napoli (Italy), Toulouse (France), Dayton (USA), and Marburg (Germany). A large amount of available data nowadays includes uncertain, imprecise, and inconsistent information. The possibility of integrating and exploiting these data calls for sound and efficient techniques for managing uncertainty and handling inconsistency. These issues, which have been traditionally addressed within the Artificial Intelligence community, already play a key role in fields like databases or the semantic Web. The goal of this conference is therefore to exploit and strengthen the connection between the Artificial Intelligence and Database communities. It aims at bringing together all researchers interested in the management of and reasoning with substantial and complex kinds of uncertain data. ************************************************************ PROGRAM & REGISTRATION The list of accepted papers is available at http://nmis.isti.cnr.it/~straccia/sum2014/accepted_papers.php The program includes three invited speakers: - Anthony Hunter (Department of Computer Science, University College London, UK) - Jens Lehmann (Department of Computer Science, University of Leipzig, Germany) - Dan Olteanu (Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford, UK) Details at: http://nmis.isti.cnr.it/~straccia/sum2014/invited_speakers.php The social program includes a banquet in Oriel College (est. 1324) and a tour of the Bodleian Library, which is the main research library of the University of Oxford and one of the oldest in Europe (originated in the 1400s).

Please forward to final year undergraduates and Master's students *FUNDED PhD Positions* About Dynamic Adaptive Automated Software Engineering (DAASE) DAASE is a four site project funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council involving University College London, Birmingham, Stirling and York and with a growing list of industrial partners, including: Berner and Mattner, BT Laboratories, Ericsson, GCHQ, Honda Research Institute Europe,IBM,Microsoft Research and Motorola UK. The project seeks to use Search Based Software Engineering to develop optimised software development processes, combining aspects of software engineering activities into a single combined and optimising process. This new form of software engineering will be supported by the development and evaluation of theory, algorithms and methods for advanced exact, metaheuristic and hyper-heuristic techniques. The goal is to produce software that is dynamically adaptive; not only able to respond to and fix problems that arise before deployment and during operation, but that continually optimises, re-configures and evolves to adapt to new operating conditions, platforms and environmental challenges (as most broadly construed). DAASE will create an array of new processes, methods, techniques and tools for a new kind of software engineering, radically transforming the theory and practice of software engineering. The Posts ========= DAASE is a highly collaborative project. PhD students working on the project will have at least one other "buddy partner site" (one of the four academic partners specifically designated to collaborate) with which they will collaborate, supported by visits to the partner site (of one to four weeks duration), the full expenses of which will be met by the project. PhDs will also have opportunities to visit and collaborate with industrial and other partners and to be fully engaged with the international community through conferences, workshops and other networking activities. This will enhance training and development and open new opportunities for collaboration and intellectual development. A total of four studentships are available. Contact John R. Woodward jrw at cs.stir.ac.uk http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/~jrw/ Studentships will provide funding for tuition fees, a stipend of £13,590 per annum plus Research Training Support Grant of £750 pa.

Their computer-based processing, integration, as well as their conceptual foundation and application presents ever new challenges to existing methods of knowledge representation, data bases, and data analysis. In the life sciences, enormous data sets are being produced in connection with biological and medical experiments, aiming to unravel biological interconnections for a better understanding in order to offer patients the best possible therapies. Data management and data processing in the life sciences ranges from the best possible integration and usage of distributed, heterogeneous data to the best possible obfuscation of medical data. This integrated workshop covers the overall spectrum of biomedical information processing, from experimental data acquisition and data management, across analysis, structuring and interpretation of data, up to the development of structures of knowledge in the form of ontologies with their various applications. The workshop pursues the aim to gather scientists that work in these fields in order to exchange ideas, to discuss new results and to inspire collaborations. The work- shop has an interdisciplinary character. It fosters the collaboration between ontologists, computer scientists, bio-informaticians, medical information scientists, applied logicians, as well as the cooperation with physicians, bio-chemists, and biometricians. Topics ------ We invite submissions in all areas of biomedical ontology and data management. The following topics are relevant, yet others related to these basic topics are likewise welcome: - Integration, management and retrieval of big data and/or complex data sets - Heterogeneity and integration of big data - Integrative data semantics - Curation of data in life sciences - Visualization of data in life sciences - Generic transformation of clinical data into Semantic Web standards - Data protection of clinical data - Omics-data for diagnosis and therapy - Ontologies in the field of biology, medicine and clinical research, for example -- Ontologies for the specification of clinical trials and medical phenotypes -- Process ontologies in systems biology and in medicine -- Ontologies in neuro biology - Ontologies in knowledge representation (for example, formal ontology of time and space, formal ontology of properties, roles and functions) - Methods and tools for development, management and application of ontologies, for example, -- Quality assurance and evaluation of ontologies -- Applications in the fields of Semantic Web, Linked Open Data, and Big Data Important Dates --------------- Submission of contributions: July 22, 2014 (Tue) EXTENDED,strict!

The AAMAS conference series was initiated in 2002 by merging three highly respected meetings: the International Conference on Multi-Agent Systems (ICMAS); the International Workshop on Agent Theories, Architectures, and Languages (ATAL); and the International Conference on Autonomous Agents (AA). The aim of the joint conference is to provide a single, high-profile, internationally respected archival forum for scientific research in the theory and practice of autonomous agents and multiagent systems. Information for Authors ======================= AAMAS-15 encourages the submission of analytical, empirical, methodological, technological, and perspective papers. Authors are requested to pay particular attention to discussing how their work relates to the state of the art in autonomous agents and multiagent systems research, as evidenced in, for example, previous editions of AAMAS and related conferences. All submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed and evaluated on the basis of the overall quality of their technical contribution, including criteria such as originality, soundness, relevance, significance, quality of presentation, and understanding of the state of the art. AAMAS 2015, the fourteenth conference in the AAMAS series, seeks the submission of high-quality papers. The length of each paper is limited to 8 pages excluding the bibliographic references, except for papers submitted to the Blue Sky Ideas track, which are limited to 4 pages in length excluding the references. Reviewing will be double-blind, so authors must avoid including anything in their papers that can be used to identify them. Particular attention should be given to the way previous work is referred to; other frequent sources of breach of anonymity are the acknowledgements, project names, and links to supplementary material on the Web. Papers that are over the page limit or identify the authors may be rejected without reviewing. Please note that submitting an abstract is required to submit a full paper. However, the abstracts will not be reviewed and full papers must be submitted for the review process to begin. All work must be original, i.e., it must not have appeared in the proceedings of an archival conference, journal, or book, and may not be under review for another archival conference or journal. In addition to submissions in the main track, AAMAS 2015 will be soliciting submissions to four special tracks: (1) Innovative Applications, (2) Robotics, (3) Virtual Agents and Humans, and (4) Blue Sky Ideas. The review process for the special tracks will be similar to the main track, but with program committee members specially selected for each track. All papers accepted to the special tracks will be included in the proceedings. Topics of Interest ================== The conference solicits papers presenting original research on autonomous agents and their interaction.

Special Tracks ============== AAMAS 2015 will feature the following four special tracks. * Innovative Applications (Chairs: Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni and Milind Tambe) Due to the growing maturity of the field, there are now agent-based applications in widespread use across many domains, which generate significant revenue, save major costs, or support important public policy and business strategy decision-making. This special track provides a dedicated forum to present, discuss, and demonstrate compelling applications, agent system deployment experiences, and new business ideas. The goal is to foster and promote mutually beneficial relationships between those doing foundational scientific research and those making autonomous agents and multiagent systems a commercial or public policy reality. * Robotics (Chairs: Alessandro Farinelli and Gal Kaminka) Papers that advance theory and applications of single and multiple robots are welcome, specifically those focusing on real robots that interact with their environment. Papers should clearly explain how the work addresses challenges in robotics, opportunities for novel applications, and fundamental research issues in autonomous robotic systems. The goal is to demonstrate the synergy achieved from integration of research in agents and robotics. * Virtual Agents & Humans (Chairs: Catholijn Jonker and Rui Prada) Virtual agents are embodied agents that emulate autonomous human-like behavior in simulated interactive or physical environments. We encourage papers on the design, implementation, and evaluation of virtual agents as well as challenging applications featuring them. Of particular interest are papers addressing how humans interact with virtual agents. The goal is to provide an opportunity for continued interaction and cross-fertilization between the AAMAS community and researchers working on virtual agents, and to strengthen links between the two communities. * Blue Sky Ideas (Chair: Victor Lesser) The emphasis of this track is on visionary ideas, long-term challenges, and new research opportunities that are outside the current mainstream of the field. This track is designed to overcome the constraints of the traditional review process, and will serve as an incubator for innovative approaches, risky and provocative ideas, and to propose challenges and opportunities for the field in the near future. General Information =================== All full papers accepted to the main track and the special tracks will be presented in parallel technical sessions. All the papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will be permanently available after the conference at . In addition, AAMAS 2015 will include: * Workshops * Demonstrations * Posters presentations for full papers and extended abstracts * Invited talks and panel discussions The submission processes for the workshops and demonstrations are separate from the main paper submission process. Relevant information will be posted on the relevant pages. Policies ======== Policy on multiple and previous submissions. Authors may not submit any paper to AAMAS 2015 that has already appeared in an archival forum. Authors must ensure that no submission to AAMAS 2015 is under review for another archival forum between the AAMAS 2015 submission and decision dates. Policy on harassment at the conference environment. IFAAMAS is committed to organising the AAMAS conference and its affiliated events in an environment that is free of harassment for everyone involved: delegates, organisers, conference workers, and reviewers. All participants in IFAAMAS events are asked to embrace our intention to foster a harassment-free scientific community, and to understand that IFAAMAS will respond appropriately to incidents of harassment if they occur.

The term SENTIRE comes from the Latin feel and it is root of words such as sentiment and sensation. SENTIRE aims to provide an international forum for researchers in the field of opinion mining and sentiment analysis to share information on their latest investigations in social information retrieval and their applications both in academic research areas and industrial sectors. The broader context of the workshop comprehends Web mining, AI, Semantic Web, information retrieval and natural language processing. The workshop is going to be held in Shenzhen on 14th December 2014. For more information, please visit: http://sentic.net/sentire RATIONALE Memory and data capacities double approximately every two years and, apparently, the Web is following the same rule. User-generated contents, in particular, are an ever-growing source of opinion and sentiments which are continuously spread worldwide through blogs, wikis, fora, chats and social networks. The distillation of knowledge from such sources is a key factor for applications in fields such as commerce, tourism, education and health, but the quantity and the nature of the contents they generate make it a very difficult task. Due to such challenging research problems and wide variety of practical applications, opinion mining and sentiment analysis have become very active research areas in the last decade. Our understanding and knowledge of the problem and its solution are still limited as natural language understanding techniques are still pretty weak. Most of current research in sentiment analysis, in fact, merely relies on machine learning algorithms. Such algorithms, despite most of them being very effective, produce no human understandable results such that we know little about how and why output values are obtained. All such approaches, moreover, rely on syntactical structure of text, which is far from the way human mind processes natural language. Next-generation opinion mining systems should employ techniques capable to better grasp the conceptual rules that govern sentiment and the clues that can convey these concepts from realization to verbalization in the human mind. TOPICS SENTIRE aims to provide an international forum for researchers in the field of opinion mining and sentiment analysis to share information on their latest investigations in social information retrieval and their applications both in academic research areas and industrial sectors. The broader context of the workshop comprehends Web mining, AI, Semantic Web, information retrieval and natural language processing.

Special call of the Semantic Web journal Message-ID: <53D29D84.3070405@wright.edu> Special Call of the Semantic Web journal for LINKED DATASET DESCRIPTIONS Linked Data is a key enabler for the Semantic Web vision and one of the steps towards a truly "Semantic Web". The Semantic Web journal calls for brief papers (usually about 5-8 pages) containing a concise description of a Linked Dataset. The paper shall describe in concise and clear terms key characteristics of the dataset as a guide to its usage for various (possibly unforeseen) purposes. In particular, such a paper shall typically give information, amongst others, on the following aspects of the dataset (if applicable). Name, URL, versioning, licensing, availability Topic coverage, source for the data Purpose of the Linked Dataset, e.g. demonstrated by relevant queries or inferences over it Applications using the dataset and other metrics of use Creation, maintenance and update mechanisms as well as policies to ensure sustainability and stability Quality, quantity and purpose of links to other datasets Domain modeling and use of established vocabularies Examples and critical discussion of typical knowledge modeling patterns used Known shortcomings of the dataset A discussion of the dataset in the context of the Five Stars of Linked Data Vocabulary Use, Papers will be evaluated along the following dimensions: quality of the dataset, usefulness (or potential usefulness) of the dataset, as well as clarity and completeness of the descriptions. Papers should usually be written by people involved in the generation or maintenance of the dataset, or with the consent of these people. Prospective authors must take notice of the submission guidelines posted at http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/authors. Past dataset descriptions which were already accepted for publication are available for perusal at ; see also the editorial of the first SWJ special issue with linked dataset descriptions, available at . Authors should note, though, that requirements and expectations have somewhat evolved since previous calls. Deadlines: Paper submission: September 30, 2014. Extensions can be granted upon request. Notification: usually within 8 weeks of submission In case of questions, please contact the Editors-in-chief: Pascal Hitzler Krzysztof Janowicz contact at semantic-web-journal.net -- Prof. Dr. Pascal Hitzler Dept. of Computer Science, Wright State University, Dayton, OH pascal at pascal-hitzler.de http://www.knoesis.org/pascal/ Semantic Web Textbook: http://www.semantic-web-book.org Semantic Web Journal: http://www.semantic-web-journal.net From tramontana at dmi.unict.it Sat Jul 26 10:53:30 2014 From: tramontana at dmi.unict.it (Emiliano Tramontana) Date: Sat, 26 Jul 2014 10:53:30 +0200 Subject: Call for Papers PSC track at SAC 2015 Message-ID: <7285B637-7A6B-4C2D-8BF9-C1FC0FC7C871@dmi.unict.it> CALL FOR PAPERS Programming for Separation of Concerns (PSC) Track at ACM SAC 2015 http://www.dmi.unict.it/~tramonta/sac/ Important Dates ------------- Paper Due September 12, 2014 Student Research Abstract Due September 12, 2014 Author Notification November 17, 2014 Camera Ready Dicember 8, 2014 Registration Dicember 15, 2014 Conference in Salamanca, Spain April 13-17, 2015 Call for Papers ----------- Modularity issues tackled by Separation of Concerns (SoC) techniques such as computational reflection, aspect-oriented programming (AOP), subject-oriented programming (SOP) and context-oriented programming (COP) have been successfully employed to produce systems whose concerns are well separated, thereby facilitating reuse and evolution of system components or systems as a whole. The Programming for Separation of Concerns (PSC) track at the 2015 Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) aims to explore challenges that developers currently face when using SoC techniques during development and evolution. This year we aim at finding whether solutions based on SoC techniques can be appropriate for dealing with distributed and parallel systems, such as cloud computing and GPGPUs. Moreover, we aim at finding out how to change legacy systems in order to improve their modularity, hence the techniques helping rejuvenation. In this sense, we encourage submissions related with strategies that aim at tackling the discovery of faults related with distribution, parallelisation and ageing. The track will address questions like: how such techniques cope with architectural erosion? Are these techniques helpful to deal with evolution of legacy systems? Is there a need to extend current technologies supporting SoC? Authors are invited to submit original papers. Submissions are encouraged, but not limited, to the following topics: - Software architectures - Configuration management systems - Software reuse and evolution of legacy systems - Performance issues for metalevel and aspect-oriented systems (AOSD) - Testing of aspect-based systems - Mining of faults on aspect-based systems - Consistency, integrity and security - Generative approaches - Analysis and evaluation of software systems - Experiences in using reflection, composition filters, aspect- subject- and feature- orientation, and change-oriented-software-engineering - Reflective and aspect-oriented middleware for distributed systems - Language support for aspect-oriented and SoC systems - Modelling of SoC techniques to allow predictable outcomes from their use - Formal methods for metalevel and SoC systems Submission Guidelines ------------------ Original papers from the above mentioned or other related areas will be considered. Only full papers about original and unpublished research are sought. Parallel submission to other conferences or tracks is not acceptable. Papers can be submitted in electronic format via the SAC website within 12 September 2014. http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2015/Paper-SubmissionUploadPage.htm Please make sure that the authors name and affiliation do not appear on the submitted paper. Peer groups with expertise in the track focus area will blindly review submissions to the track. At least one author of the accepted paper should register and participate in the PSC track. Accepted papers will be published in the annual conference ACM proceedings. The camera-ready version of the accepted paper should be prepared using the ACM format (guidelines will be given on the SAC website). The maximum number of pages allowed for the final papers is six (6), with the option, at additional cost, to add two (2) more pages. A set of papers submitted to the PSC track and not accepted as full papers will be selected as poster papers and published in the ACM proceedings as 2-page papers, with the option, at additional cost, to add one (1) more page. Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of the paper/poster in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending SAC MUST present the paper. This is a requirement for the paper/poster to be included in the ACM/IEEE digital library. No-show of scheduled papers and posters will result in excluding them from the ACM/IEEE digital library. Student Research Competition ------------------------ Graduate students are invited to submit their work as abstract research paper within within 12 September 2014 (minimum two pages, maximum four pages). The work has to be authored by one student only. The abstract should reflect on the originality and innovation of the approach, and applicability of preliminary results to real-world problems. All abstracts must be submitted via SAC website. Authors of selected abstracts are eligible to apply to the SIGAPP Student Travel Award program for support. Please contact the track chairs for any further information needed.

Please note that the page limit for short papers has been modified. ----- --------------------------------- INTRODUCTION --------------------------------- In the last two decades, we have seen a significant increase of interest in agent-based computing. This field is now set to become one of the key technologies in the 21st century. It is crucial that both academics and industrialists within Europe have access to a forum at which current research and application issues are presented and discussed. Following the tradition of previous editions of EUMAS (Oxford 2003, Barcelona 2004, Brussels 2005, Lisbon 2006, Hammamet 2007, Bath 2008, Agia Napa 2009, Paris 2010, Maastricht 2011, Dublin 2012, Toulouse 2013), the aim of this 12th European Conference on Multi-Agent Systems is to encourage and support activity in the research and development of multi-agent systems, in academic and industrial efforts. This conference is primarily intended as a European forum at which researchers, and those interested in activities relating to research in the area of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems, can meet, present (potentially preliminary) research results, problems, and issues in an open and informal but academic environment. To attract students and experienced researchers, preliminary as well as mature work, EUMAS 2014 offers three submission types and has formal proceedings published by Springer as LNCS/LNAI volume. A journal special issue is planned as well. EUMAS 2014 is a designated event of the European Association of Multi-Agent Systems (EURAMAS): http://www.euramas.org --------------------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST --------------------------------- Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Action and Planning, Adaptation and Learning, Agent Architectures, Agent Programming Languages, Agents and Complex Systems, Agent Based Simulation, Ambient Intelligence Applications, Argumentation, Autonomy, Bio-inspired Approaches to Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, Cognitive Models, Collective and Swarm Intelligence, Collective Intentionality, Communication, Competition, Complexity, Cooperation, Coordination, e-*Applications (e-commerce, etc.), Economic Models, Emergence, Emotion, Formal Models, Game Theoretic Models, Grid Computing, Logics for Multi-Agent Systems, Methodologies, Negotiation, Organisations and Institutions, Proactivity and Reactivity, Protocols, Robotics, Self-organisation, Semantic Web Agents, Agent-based Service Oriented Computing, Socio-technical Systems, Agent-oriented Software Engineering, Standards, Teamwork, Theories of Agency, Tools, Trust and Reputation, Ubiquitous Computing, Verification, Virtual Agents. --------------------------------- SUBMISSIONS --------------------------------- EUMAS 2014 welcomes both original, unpublished papers, as well as papers that are under submission or have been published in a relevant conference, conference or journal. We specially invite submissions by students that we think will receive valuable feedback from the discussion-oriented focus of the conference. Preliminary student work is welcome; however, it has to possess sufficient substance for serving as a discussion basis and therefore has to pass the review cycle in the same way as other work. Authors are invited to submit papers in the following three categories: (1) Full research papers of 12 to 15 pages, describing original and unpublished work. Simultaneous submission to another venue is not allowed. (2) Short papers of 6 to 8 pages reporting on original and unpublished work in progress or system descriptions. Simultaneous submission to another venue is not allowed. (3) Full research papers up to 15 pages reporting on interesting and relevant work that has been published (or accepted for publication) in the last 18 months. Each submission will be peer-reviewed. All submissions must be formatted following Springer's LNCS format. For templates and instructions for authors, see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html We request the submission of title and abstract prior the paper submission for supporting the tight schedule of reviewing. The authors must submit their abstracts and papers through the EUMAS 2014 Easychair submission site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eumas2014 --------------------------------- PROCEEDINGS AND SPECIAL ISSUE --------------------------------- EUMAS has formal conference proceedings published as a Springer LNCS/LNAI (post-)proceedings volume (www.springer.com/lncs). Full research papers and short papers describing original, unpublished work (categories 1 and 2) accepted at EUMAS 2014 will be included in the proceedings. After the conference, we also plan to invite authors of selected papers to extend and re-submit their work to be considered for inclusion in a journal special issue (currently under negotiation). The submissions to that special issue will be subject to another reviewing and selection process. --------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES --------------------------------- Abstract submission deadline: September 26, 2014 Paper submission: September 29, 2014 Author acceptance notification: November 7, 2014 Camera-ready deadline: December 1, 2014 Conference: December 18-19, 2014 Authors of accepted papers will be given the opportunity to revise the camera ready version of their paper(s) in order to incorporate feedback received upon the presentation of their work during the conference. The deadline for this revision is: January 14, 2015. --------------------------------- PROGRAM CHAIR --------------------------------- Nils Bulling, Clausthal University of Technology, Germany --------------------------------- LOCAL ORGANIZERS --------------------------------- Jiri Vokrinek, Czech Technical University, Czech Republic Michal Jakob, Czech Technical University, Czech Republic --------------------------------- PROGRAM COMMITTEE --------------------------------- Thomas Ågotnes, University of Bergen Natasha Alechina, University of Nottingham Fred Amblard, IRIT - University Toulouse 1 Capitole Leila Amgoud, IRIT - CNRS Luis Antunes, Universidade de Lisboa Katie Atkinson, University of Liverpool Bernhard Bauer, Uni Augsburg Ana L.

In addition, the student will be financially supported to attend conferences and schools, and to spend a period of 6-12 months abroad. The PhD programme lasts three years. The official language of the programme and of the faculty is English. Research in the Faculty of Computer Science is divided in three research centres (see below). Candidates are strongly advised to get in contact with the desired research centre before applying. Bolzano is the city’s Italian name while Bozen is its German name: it is the capital of the multilingual province of Alto Adige / Südtirol. Near Italy’s northern border with Austria, the city is a gateway to the Dolomites, the majestic white mountain peaks that are part of the Alps. Bolzano is an Italian city with Austrian flair. Its two lifestyles, one Northern European and the other more Mediterranean, combine to make the perfect union, which can be clearly seen in the historic and artistic treasures of this city. Bolzano is constantly among the top-ranked cities in Italy when it comes to quality of life. It has one of Europe's lowest unemployment rates, excellent services and a wonderful landscape. The landscape of the surrounding mountain sides is characterised by old wine hamlets and villages nestling amid vineyards watched over by 200 castles, stately country houses and ruins (see the wonderful video). Instructions for application (pre-enrollment): http://www.unibz.it/en/inf/progs/phdcs/ The deadline for the applications is the 29th August 2014.
