Re: Beta-testers for KnowAll--software that thinks
We are seeking beta testers for a new software system called KnowAll(tm),
that applies a new theory of knowledge in its development. KnowAll matches
on precise ideas, has a semantic knowledge base of 90,000 words, a concept
knowledge-base of 9,000 ideas, and uses more than 600 search engines as it
scours the web, intranet or your computer to actually answer questions.
Send an email to beta@worldfree.net with your: name; hardware; op system;
email; CS experience.
IDC says KnowAll is "18 months to two years ahead of the competition". See
for yourself and earn a free copy for your beta efforts.

Acceptance/Rejection: March 10, 2000
Deadline for Camera-Ready Paper: March 27, 2000
WORKSHOP THEME
Information agent technology is one of the major key technologies for the
Internet and worldwide Web. An information agent is a computational
software entity that has access to one or multiple, heterogeneous and
distributed information sources, pro-actively searches for and maintains
relevant information on behalf of users or other agents preferably
just-in-time. In other words, it is managing and overcoming the
difficulties mainly associated with information overload in the open and
exponentially growing Internet and Web. Although low-level infrastructure
has been developed to support interoperability between heterogeneous
databases and application programs, this is not sufficient when dealing
with higher-level object organizations such as vertical business object
frameworks and workflows. Existing multi-database or federated database
systems do not support any kind of pro-active information discovery. One
key challenge of advanced information systems is to balance the autonomy of
databases and legacy systems with the potential payoff of leveraging them
by the use of information agents to perform collaborative work.
Development of information agents requires expertise from different
research disciplines such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), advanced
databases and knowledge base systems, distributed information systems,
information retrieval, and Human Computer Interaction (HCI).
Like in the previous CIA workshops, all hot topics in the research area of
intelligent and collaborating information agents are covered by the
CIA-2000 workshop.
TOPICS
Topics are but not limited to:
* Adaptation and Learning for Information Agents
- Advanced methods for single and multiagent system learning.
- Performance, relationship and application of multiagent learning
for collaborating information agents.
- Methods for automated uncertain reasoning for knowledge based
information agents.
- Self-emerging collaboration among information agents.
- Computation and action under limited resources.
* Mobile Information Agents and Issues of Security in the Internet
- Cooperating mobile information agents in wearable computers, hand-
held and/or
satellite-based control devices (Web handies, communicators, etc.).
- Architectures, environments and languages for mobile and secure
performance of information agents and servers.
* Rational Information Agents and Electronic Commerce
- Virtual Agent-Based Marketplaces, Coalition Formation, Auctions.
- Electronic Commerce with incomplete and uncertain informations.
- Economic Models of cooperative problem solving among rational
information agents in open information environments.
- Standards for privacy of communication, security, and jurisdiction
for agent-mediated deals.
* Advanced Database, Information System and Knowledge-Base Technology
- Application of techniques for Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery
in open, distributed and dynamically changing environments.
- Adaptive Information Retrieval.
Management of uncertain and incomplete knowledge for information
gathering on the Internet or large corporate Intranets.
* Construction and Reuse of Ontologies for Multiagent Information
Gathering
* Human-Agent Interaction and Intelligent User Interfaces for
Information Agents
- Synthetic agents, believable avatars, and 3-D multimedia-based
representation of user information spaces in the Internet.
- Models and implementation of advanced interfaces for conversation
and dialogue among information Agents and Users.
- Dynamic inspection of information agents' work by the user.
* Systems and Applications
Systems and applications of multiple collaborating information agents
On the Internet.
PROCEEDINGS
The workshop proceedings including all accepted papers will be published by
Springer as a volume in the LNAI series (Lecture Notes in Artificial
Intelligence). The proceedings of the CIA-97, CIA-98, CIA-99 workshops
appeared as LNAI Vol. 1202, 1435 and 1652 respectively.
PREPARATION & SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
The length of each paper should not exceed 12 pages. All papers must be
written in English. Submissions will be refereed for quality, correctness,
originality and relevance. Papers accepted or under review by other
conferences, workshops or journals are not acceptable. Papers not
conforming to the above requirements may be rejected without review.
For preparation of camera-ready papers to be submitted please follow the
instructions for authors available at the Springer LNCS Web page:
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
For those not using the Springer LNCS style files: The paper must be
formatted in A4 size using 10 point Times. (If Times is not available,
please use one of the similar typefaces widely used in phototypesetting.)
Printing area should be 12.2 x 19.3 cm, and the interline distance should
be arranged in such a way that some 42 to 45 lines occur on a full-text page.
Each submission includes the full paper (title, authors, abstract, text),
and in addition a separate title page with the title, a 300-400 word
abstract, a list of keywords, authors (names, addresses, email addresses,
telephone and fax numbers). You may submit your paper by Electronic Mail or
Postal Mail.
+ Submission by E-Mail:
Please send your contribution in postscript format, A4 printable, as
compressed file to:
