Cooperative Information Agents

First International Workshop, CIA'97, Kiel, Germany, February 26-28, 1997, Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Workshop on Cooperative Information Agents - DAI Meets Databases, CIA-97, held in Kiel, Germany, in February 1997. The book opens with 6 invited full papers by internationally leading researchers surveying the state of the art in the area. The 16 revised full research papers presented were carefully selected during a highly competitive round of reviewing. The papers are organized in topical sections on databases and agent technology, agents for database search and knowledge discovery, communication and cooperation among information agents, and agent-based access to heterogeneous information sources.

This means (1) to develop many kinds of knowledge discovery and data mining
agents (KDD agents in short) for different objects; (2) to use the KDD agents in
multiple learning phases in a distributed cooperative mode; (3) to manage the
society of the KDD agents by multiple meta-control levels. Based on this
methodology, a multi-strategy and cooperative discovery system, which can be
imagined as a softbot and is named GLS (Global Learning Scheme), has being
developing by us.

Cooperative Information Agents III

Third International Workshop, CIA'99 Uppsala, Sweden, July 31 - August 2, 1999 Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Cooperative Information Systems, CIA'99, held in Uppsala, Sweden in July/August 1999. The 16 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 46 submissions. Also included are ten invited contributions by leading experts. The volume is divided in sections on information discovery and management on the Internet; information agents on the Internet-prototypes systems and applications; communication and collaboration, mobile information agents; rational information agents for electronic business; service mediation and negotiation; and adaptive personal assistance.

Current approaches range from specialized agents programmed to perform
specific tasks, to learning programs which get on-the-job training looking over a
user's shoulder. In the expert case very little communication is needed because
the agent already knows what it is going to do. In the novice case the raison d'
etre of agent learning is to relieve the user of the tedium of instructing it. The vast
middle ground of tasks of moderate complexity too infrequent for targeted
implementations ...

From Research to Practice in the Design of Cooperative Systems: Results and Open Challenges

Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on the Design of Cooperative Systems, May 30 - 1 June, 2012

COOP 2012 is the tenth COOP conference, marking twenty years from the first conference in 1992. In this special anniversary edition we asked researchers and practitioners to reflect on what have been the successes and the failures in designing cooperative systems, and what challenges still need to be addressed. We have come a long way in understanding the intricacies of cooperation and in designing systems that support work practices and collective activities. These advances would not have been possible without the concerted effort of contributions from a plethora of domains including CSCW, HCI, Information Systems, Knowledge Engineering, Multi-agent systems, organizational and management sciences, sociology, psychology, anthropology, ergonomics, linguistics, etc. The COOP community is going from strength to strength in developing new technologies, advancing and proposing new methodological approaches, and forging theories.

We describe a user study with a tangible tabletop for technology-based
assessment. We identify a series of patterns extracted from a video analysis
using the Collaborative Learning Mechanism framework. In our discussion, we
elaborate the characteristics of the TUI that support interactions based on the
observed patterns: the physical interaction objects, the shareability of the space,
and the non-responsive spaces. 11.1 Introduction Technology-based
assessment (TBA) can facilitate ...

Nature Inspired Cooperative Strategies for Optimization (NICSO 2013)

Learning, Optimization and Interdisciplinary Applications

Biological and other natural processes have always been a source of inspiration for computer science and information technology. Many emerging problem solving techniques integrate advanced evolution and cooperation strategies, encompassing a range of spatio-temporal scales for visionary conceptualization of evolutionary computation. This book is a collection of research works presented in the VI International Workshop on Nature Inspired Cooperative Strategies for Optimization (NICSO) held in Canterbury, UK. Previous editions of NICSO were held in Granada, Spain (2006 & 2010), Acireale, Italy (2007), Tenerife, Spain (2008), and Cluj-Napoca, Romania (2011). NICSO 2013 and this book provides a place where state-of-the-art research, latest ideas and emerging areas of nature inspired cooperative strategies for problem solving are vigorously discussed and exchanged among the scientific community. The breadth and variety of articles in this book report on nature inspired methods and applications such as Swarm Intelligence, Hyper-heuristics, Evolutionary Algorithms, Cellular Automata, Artificial Bee Colony, Dynamic Optimization, Support Vector Machines, Multi-Agent Systems, Ant Clustering, Evolutionary Design Optimisation, Game Theory and other several Cooperation Models.

Nature Inspired Cooperative Strategies for Optimization (NICSO 2007)

Biological and natural processes have been a continuous source of inspiration for the sciences and engineering. For instance, the work of Wiener in cybernetics was influenced by feedback control processes observable in biological systems; McCulloch and Pitts description of the artificial neuron was instigated by biological observations of neural mechanisms; the idea of survival of the fittest inspired the field of evolutionary algorithms and similarly, artificial immune systems, ant colony optimisation, automated self-assembling programming, membrane computing, etc. also have their roots in natural phenomena. The second International Workshop on Nature Inspired Cooperative Strategies for Optimization (NICSO), was held in Acireale, Italy, during November 8-10, 2007. The aim for NICSO 2007 was to provide a forum were the latest ideas and state of the art research related to cooperative strategies for problem solving arising from Nature could be discussed. The contributions collected in this book were strictly peer reviewed by at least three members of the international programme committee, to whom we are indebted for their support and assistance. The topics covered by the contributions include several well established nature inspired techniques like Genetic Algorithms, Ant Colonies, Artificial Immune Systems, Evolutionary Robotics, Evolvable Systems, Membrane Computing, Quantum Computing, Software Self Assembly, Swarm Intelligence, etc.

A new Learning Sensitive Agent System (LSAS) is proposed to address
combinatorial optimization problems. Agents communicate by directly
exchanging information and knowledge about the environment. Furthermore,
agents of the proposed model are endowed with stigmergic behavior and are
able to indirectly communicate by producing and being influenced by pheromone
trails. Each stigmergic agent has a certain level of sensitivity to the pheromone
allowing various types of ...

Distributed Cooperative Laboratories: Networking, Instrumentation, and Measurements

This book is devoted to the investigation of the main issues related to the sustainable realization of tele-laboratories, where real and virtual instrumentation can be shared and used in a collaborative environment. The book contains peer reviewed chapters and each presents a self-contained treatment within a framework providing an up-to-date picture of the state-of-the-art and of the most recent developments of this multi-faceted topic.

In this paper we describe the Italian online learning project, called Teledoc2,
financed by the Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR)
and realized by CNIT (National InterUniversity Consortium for
Telecommunications) The Project is running through 2003-2005 and aims to
build a complete, multimedia, interactive and fully-featured online-learning
service for ICT researchers and PhD students of Italian Research Centres, being
branches of CNIT. The paper gives ...
