+12th Int.
Conference on Knowledge Based Intelligent Information & Engineering Systems
Main Conference date: 3, 4 and 5 September 2008,
Invited Session on
Communicative Intelligence 2008
Call for Papers
The aim of this session is to explore the dimensions of intelligent
media technologies and intelligent agent systems built on top of Artificial
Intelligence, Web Intelligence, Perceptual Information Processing,
Human-Computer Interaction, Ontologies, Web Semantics and other intelligent and
cognitive technologies that will help people develop individual or collective
intelligence by augmenting interaction among people in a significant and
profound way. The term "Communicative Intelligence" reflects
our view that intelligence manifests and develops in communicative activities,
data organization and autonomous software. The subject of this session is
composed of two main tracks:
-
Intelligent
Media Technology, and
-
Ontology and
Agent Systems Design.
Intelligent media technologies attempt to capture and augment people's
communicative activities either by embedding computers into the environment so
that their interaction can be extended without being interfered by computer
operations or by introducing embodied conversational agents that will mediate
conversations among people in a social context. We also emphasize that
the intelligent support is critical for content production, distribution, and
utilization, for the content is the most important in communication in most
applications. In addition to the fundamental issues such as communication
models of conversations or evaluation methods, potential applications, such as
e-learning or knowledge management, are deemed important as a powerful thrust
of research in this field and hence are welcome.
Ontology and Agent Systems Design are related to software agents which
have long been recognized as a promising technology for constructing complex
systems as open and distributed communities of loosely-coupled modules. A key
development in the field of multi-agent systems has been the specification of
agent communication languages (ACLs), and
formalization of ontologies. Agent communication languages are intended to
provide standard declarative mechanisms for agents to communicate knowledge and
make requests of each other, whereas ontologies are intended for
conceptualization of the knowledge domain. In this paradigm cognitive agents of
heterogeneous nature possess diverse conceptual views and ontologies the
problem of semantic mismatch arises, and a special conflict resolution
strategies based on computer-supported negotiation are necessary. The aim of
this track is to discuss modern approaches and techniques for ontologies and
multi-agent systems, particularly in design aspects and solving conflicts.
These two tracks are supplementary to each other in the sense that the
Intelligent Media Technology track sheds light on the interactive aspects of
Communicative Intelligence and the Ontology and Agent Systems Design track focuses
on the data organization and networking aspects.
The session organizers cordially invite the potential authors to submit papers on all topics defined below.
According
to the scope of this session, topics include, but are not limited to the
following subjects:
For
track Intelligent Media Technology:
a. Perceptual technologies for capturing semantic
information,
b. Automated annotation of conversational data,
c. Intelligent content production and management for
communicating intellectual assets,
d. Embodied conversational agents that create and
mediate knowledge in a social context,
e. Sociable agents that can cohabit with people in the
real world,
f. Smart environments that can support communicative
activities,
g. Measurement and evaluation of communicative
intelligence, and
h. Applications of communicative intelligence.
a. Ontologies:
semantic mismatch, merging, translation techniques, etc,
b. Ontology models, multimodal systems and interfaces,
c. Inconsistency and uncertainty management in multi-agent systems,
d. Distributed knowledge systems,
e. Multi-agent system design,
f. Negotiation strategies in multi-agent systems,
g. Data and knowledge engineering/communication, and
h. Network communication.
