and Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT 2004) September 20-24, 2004, Beijing, China |
The
2003 IEEE/WIC International Conference on Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT
2003) is a high-quality, high-impact agent conference, which is jointly held
with the 2003 IEEE/WIC
International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2003). The IEEE/WIC 2003
joint conferences are sponsored and organized by IEEE
Computer Society Technical
Committee on Computational Intelligence (TCCI) and by Web
Intelligence Consortium (WIC), an international organization dedicated to
the promotion of world-wide scientific research and industrial development in
the era of Web and agent intelligence.
The upcoming meeting in this conference series follows the great success of
IAT-99 held in Hong Kong in 1999 (http://www.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/IAT99/)
and IAT-01 held in Maebashi City, Japan in 2001
(http://kis.maebashi-it.ac.jp/iat01/).
The aim of IAT 2003 is to bring together researchers and practitioners from
diverse fields, such as computer science, information technology, business,
education, human factors, systems engineering, and robotics to (1) examine the
design principles and performance characteristics of various approaches in intelligent
agent technology, and (2) increase the cross-fertilization of ideas on the development
of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems among different domains.
By encouraging idea-sharing and discussions on the underlying logical, cognitive,
physical, and biological foundations as well as the enabling technologies of
intelligent agents, IAT 2003 is expected to stimulate the future development
of new models, new methodologies, and new tools for building a variety of embodiments
of agent-based systems.
