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 ...

Cooperative Design, Visualization, and Engineering

10th International Conference, CDVE 2013, Alcudia, Spain, September 22-25, 2013, Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Cooperative Design, Visualization, and Engineering, CDVE 2013, held in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, in September 2013. The 34 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers cover all the topics of cooperative engineering, basic theories, methods and technologies that support CDVE, cooperative design, visualization and applications. There are special contributions dealing with the cooperative issues brought by the Internet of things - such as the situation in the ambient assisted living systems. Other papers in the volume cover a wide range of cooperative application topics such as cooperative e-learning, cooperative decision making and cooperative simulation etc.

Alternative uses of sorghum and pearl millet in Asia

proceedings of the expert meeting ICRISAT, Patancheru, Andhra Pradesh, India, 1-4 July 2003

Both sorghum and pearl millet are staple food crops for the poor people in the semi-arid tropics (SAT). However, during the last two decades both crops are becoming less important as staple food crops in SAT countries. Demand for course cereals (such as sorghum and pearl millet) as human food is decreasing in many countries, due to increased production and availability of preferred cereals (such as rice and wheat) at subsidized prices. The poor farmers in rainfed SAT cannot grow other crops, and are economically impacted negatively, as they do not get reasonable price for their produce. However, possibilties of alternative uses of sorghum and pearl millet are creating new opportunities that have potential to increase market demand and income to farmers.
