CFP: International Workshop on
Optimisation in Multi-Agent Systems and Distributed Constraint Reasoning
(OptMAS-DCR)
To be held in conjunction with the
Thirteenth International Conference on Autonomous and Multi-Agent Systems
(AAMAS 2014)
=======================================================================

Call
------
We are glad to announce that a Joint Call for papers has been agreed
between the Workshop on Optimization
in Multi-Agent Systems (OptMAS) and the Workshop on Distributed
Constraint Reasoning (DCR). This joint
OptMAS-DCR workshop invites works from different strands of the
multi-agent systems community that pertain
to the design of algorithms, models, and techniques to deal with
multi-agent optimisation problems. We will also
place a particular emphasis on DCR approaches, which include the
modeling, formulation and solution of DCR
problems, including both Distributed Constraint Satisfaction and
Optimization problems.
Important dates
-----------------------
* January, 22, 2014 - Submission of contributions to workshops
* February 19, 2014 - Workshop paper acceptance notification
* March 12, 2014 - Submission of camera-ready version
* May 5-6, 2014 - Workshop takes place in conjunction with AAMAS 2014.
Invited Talk
-----------------------
An invited speech will be given by Prof. Toby Walsh
www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~tw/?
Background
-----------------
The number of novel applications of multi-agent systems has followed an
exponential trend
over the last few years, ranging from online auction design, through
multi-sensor networks,
to scheduling of tasks in multi-actor systems. Multi-agent systems
designed for all these
applications generally involve some form of very hard optimization
problems that are
substantially different from problems traditionally dealt with in other
areas (e.g. industrial
processes or scheduling applications). More specifically, the technical
issues that multi-agent
algorithm designers have to deal with include:
* Open systems:algorithms to compute solutions to mechanisms that deal
with different
stakeholders, who may be self-interested or may have different
computation/communication
capabilities from their peers.
* Distributed systems:algorithms that are across different system
components, such as those
that deal with agents that are tied to physical devices. This involves
considerations of
computation and communication constraints, and the possibility of
failures of the components
and/or communication links.
* Privacy concerns:optimizing while minimising the exchange of private
information.
* Solution quality bounds:problems requiring algorithms with quality bounds.
* Robust optimisation:techniques to deal with optimizations that are
repeated with only slight
changes in the input data and/or unreliable input data.
* Highly parallel architectures:e.g., multi-core, GPGPU, which deal with
large-scale problems.
Keywords
--------------
Topics include but are not limited to:
* Distributed constraint optimization/satisfaction
* Winner determination algorithms in auctions
* Coalition formation algorithms
* Algorithms to compute Nash and other equilibria in games
* Optimization under uncertainty
* Optimization with incomplete or dynamic input data
* Algorithms for real-time applications
* GPU for general purpose computations (GPGPU)
* Multi-core and many-core computing
* Cloud, distributed and grid computing
Submission
-----------------
Participants should submit a paper (maximum *15* pages in LNCS Springer
style), describing their work
on one or more of the topics relevant to the workshop. Alternatively,
participants may submit a shorter
paper (maximum *5* pages in LNCS Springer style) presenting a research
statement or perspective on
topics relevant to the workshop.
All submissions are conducted via the OptMAS-DCR 2014 EasyChair website:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=optmasdcr2014
Reviewing process
---------------------------
Papers will be reviewed by at least 2 program committee members.
Criteria for selection of papers
will include: technical quality, novelty, significance, and clarity.
Publication
-----------------
Pre-proceedings containing all accepted papers are provided
electronically on a USB stick as a part
of the AAMAS workshop registration package. Best papers from OptMAS 2008
and OptMAS 2009
were selected for publication in the special issue on Optimisation in
Multi-Agent System of the
Journal of Autonomous and Multiagent Systems. Best papers from OptMAS
2011 and 2012 were
invited to submit to a special issue on Optimisation in Multi-Agent
System of the Computer Journal.
We plan to continue this initiative for the current and next editions.

CALL FOR PAPERS
The 1st IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on
Smart Vehicles: Connectivity Technologies and ITS Applications
(SmartVehicles 2014)
June 16-19, 2014, Sydney, Australia
http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/smartvehicles2014
**** Paper Registration Deadline --- February 28, 2014 ****
**** Paper Submission Deadline --- March 7, 2014 ****
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE AND OVERVIEW
--------------------------------
The development of smart vehicles and more sustainable transportation systems has emerged as one of the most fundamental societal challenges of the next decade. At the same time, automotive manufacturers are striving to make vehicles safer and more environmentally friendly to fulfil consumers' expectations and new regulations. To revolutionise our mobile lifestyle towards a more sustainable and connected future it is of paramount importance to develop innovative cooperative systems enabling road users and other actors to exchange information in real time and in an autonomous manner, pervasive sensing to monitor the status of vehicles and the surroundings, big data analytics for the processing of sheer amount of data coming from the transportation infrastructure, middleware platforms for information management and sharing, and appropriate interaction interfaces between drivers and vehicles. Clearly, the seamless integration between mobile devices, vehicular communication netw!
orks, and information and transportation systems will face a number of technical, economical and regulatory challenges.
Authors are encouraged to submit full papers presenting recent developments, current research challenges and future directions in the use of networking, communications, data management, and applications to realise vehicular mobility systems that are more connected, sustainable and safe.
Topics of interest for SmartVehicles 2014 include, but are not limited to:
+ Vehicular Network as a Sensor Network;
+ V2V, V2I and V2X communications
+ Vehicular mobility support in next-generation wireless technologies
+ Communications protocol design (MAC, routing, data dissemination)
+ Data storage, management, and retrieval in vehicular networks
+ Solutions to connect vehicles with the Internet
+ Big data analytics for ITS applications
+ Security and privacy in ITS applications
+ Multimedia applications, infotainment
+ Cooperative driving, autonomous and smart vehicles
+ Traffic management and efficiency applications
+ Electrification of transportation systems
+ Simulation environments, experimental testbeds, field operational tests
+ Mobile (smart) device integration in vehicles and transport systems
+ Integration of cloud technologies in ITS applications
PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
--------------------------------
Submission will be managed electronically through EDAS (http://edas.info/N16795).
Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts are limited to 6 pages, single spacing, double column, and must strictly adhere to the template format. Guidelines on paper submission and formatting are available at: http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/smartvehicles2014
Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE. Workshop papers will be included and indexed in the IEEE Digital Library (IEEEXplore), showing their affiliation with IEEE WoWMoM. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and present his/her work at the workshop in order for that paper to appear in the proceedings.
