DESCRIPTION

 

Significant progress has been made over the last few years in the
development of multi-agent systems and semantic web applications in a
variety of fields such as electronic commerce, supply chain management,
resource allocation, intelligent manufacturing, mass customization,
simulation, and healthcare. While research on various aspects of multi-agent
systems and semantic technologies is progressing, there are still a number
of issues that have to be explored in terms of the design and implementation
of multi-agent systems for decision support. For example, formal approaches
for agent-oriented modeling and simulation for decision making, ontology
based information system, ontology engineering, semantics for data
integration, agent based decision support systems, multi-agent systems for
business intelligence, and semantic technologies for knowledge management
are some of the areas in need of further research.

 

The purpose of this mini-track is to provide a forum for academics and
practitioners to identify and explore the issues and opportunities in using
agent and semantic technologies for the design, implementation, and
deployment of intelligent decision support systems. This mini-track is
intended to increase cross-fertilization of ideas from various domains, and
share the lessons learned.  Building on its success in the past eleven
years, this mini-track is expected to serve as the spring-board for
gathering and disseminating experiences gained in implementing and
integrating multi-agent systems and semantic applications for decision
support. 

 

Best papers from this mini-track will be fast tracked for publication in a
special issue of International Journal of Intelligent Information
Technologies (IJIIT).
