Final CFP: Collaborative Online Organizations workshop at AAMAS

[Saad Alqithami]

The 4th International Workshop on Collaborative Online Organizations

- Singapore: MAY 10, 2016
- http://www2.cs.siu.edu/~mas/coos16/
- Organized in conjunction with AAMAS 2016


- [ Scope ]:

There is a strong ongoing trend for traditional organizations to adapt to
socially networked nature of human population. This trend allows
organizations to be transformed from brick and mortar to a more online
nature. In the collaborative online organizations workshop, 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 interests of their human counterparts and take actions
autonomously.

This workshop will reflect the impacts of social network proliferation and
start of agent systems that exploit and explore opportunities heralded by
the social media and 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.

Substantial amount of research work is ongoing in distributed knowledge
management. Therefore, COOS workshop emphasizes the operational elements of
social networks that facilitate elements of online organization. Since this
is the growing workshop on this topic, we continue to generate interest for
a more in depth and wider span of explorations into the future. Social as
well as cognitive foundations surrounding collaborative organizations are
of special interest and the focal theme for 2016. This theme includes
nature of interactions among individuals engaged in meaningful exchange.
Network of interactions in organizations generate and reflect social
behaviors embedded in collaboration networks that play central role for
their continued functioning and maintenance. Explorations of roles of
social capital are within the scope.
