Dear collegues,
Please find below the Call for Papers. Deadline for paper submissions is
Friday, February, the 28-th, 2003. (06)
ISPE/CE2003 Conference and Exhibition
10th ISPE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
CONCURRENT ENGINEERING: RESEARCH AND APPLICATIONS
Carlton Madeira Hotel - Madeira Island, Portugal
26 - 30 JULY, 2003
http://isg.uninova.pt/ce2003/ (07)
Invited Session on:
Automated Knowledge and Service Sharing
in Agent-Enabled Concurrent Engineering
http://www.zsu.zp.ua/ce-2003 (08)
Call for Papers
Concurrent Engineering (CE) is widely known as an effective product
development approach. Its major objective is to reduce the
system/product
development time and effort through a better integration of activities
and
processes. As defined by the US Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA), CE
is
the systematic approach to the integrated, concurrent design of products
and related processes, including manufacturing and support throughout
the
whole product life cycle from conception to disposal. (09)
CE methodology becomes even more attractive today and in the future when
the procedures and the technologies of design and manufacturing become
more
globalized, standardized, dynamic and flexible. The challenge for the
future generation of CE methodologies and infrastructures is the
provision
of the solutions for automated rational interoperation among independent
human and artificial team-players in open organizations. The appearance
of
virtual enterprises, consortia as temporary coalitions in design and
manufacturing make CE activities and processes globally dispersed
organizationally and geographically. Another big task for CE methodology
is
to properly and effectively guide the assembly of a design or a
production
process from matching distributed service components. The services are
evidently provided by independent parties and possess varying
availability
and price over time. The facet of reputation and trust among the members
of
these open dynamic constellations of economically rational agents is of
extreme importance as well. (010)
The agent paradigm has proved its capability to provide successful
solutions for the application areas where autonomous, loosely-coupled,
heterogeneous, and distributed systems or players need to rationally
interoperate in order to achieve a common goal. Ontologies are
recognized
as shared common specifications of the concepts used for interoperation
in
open heterogeneous systems of autonomous rational agents. It is topical
that both Agents and Ontologies are central to the rapidly emerging
Semantic Web. Their combined use will enable the sharing of
heterogeneous,
autonomous knowledge on services, service providers, service
capabilities
in a scalable, adaptable and extensible manner in frame of the Semantic
Web
of Services. (011)
The focus of CE'2003 is "The vision for the future generation".
Following
this, we solicit research and profound visionary papers providing for
better understanding of and forming the emerging landscape of
(semi-)automated knowledge sharing models, methodologies, solutions and
infrastructures in agent-enabled CE. (012)
Scope
The scope of the session is formed of, but not limited to, the following
topics:
- Models, methodologies and solutions supporting the semi-automation of
knowledge sharing in open CE organizations
- Ontology based semantic interoperation among agents in open CE
architectures
- Modelling and semantics of life cycles in CE
- Automated negotiation, argumentation and reaching consensus among
team-players in the processes of CE
- Dynamic CE process planning execution and control by coalitions of
interoperating agents
- Semantic Web Services as an enabling technology for agent-based CE
- Dynamic reputation assessment, trust and coalition formation among
agents
in CE domain (013)
