WAMIS
'06 is held in conjunction with AINA 2006
20th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Information
Networking and Applications.
Recent technological
advances in the Web, Internet and mobile devices offer
exciting ways to distributed and large scale complex
information systems in various domains such as e-business,
healthcare, entertainment, and scientific activities.
To effectively process such information, researchers
from different disciplines have been exploring new
ideas and developing new approaches. In database research
community, researchers have developed a wealth of
techniques including, efficient query processing,
transaction management, indexing algorithms, efficient
data distribution. Similarly, agent research community
have developed many techniques and tools to construct
large scale complex, self organising and autonomous
systems with capabilities of effective problem solving,
communication, knowledge representation, negotiating
on complex issues and coordinating complex activities.
In addition to that, network research community has
developed numerous models and protocols to efficiently
and reliably communicate data between different distributed
systems in large scale and complex networks which
are used by large population of users across the globe.
Much work in the above disciplines has traditionally
been operating on different levels, distinct research
issues, and several technology directions. Our theme
of WAMIS 2006 is to unify the picture of these disciplines
such that they can support each other. We are currently
witnessing that the boundaries between these disciplines
are disappearing. For example, multi-agents have been
used at the network as well as database levels. Likewise,
database techniques are applied to multi-agents and
to the network data management.
This workshop aims to bring together researchers from
the above disciplines in an effort to highlight the
state-of-the-art and discuss the challenges and opportunities
to explore new research directions and develop new
ideas. We strongly welcome submissions that include
results which advance the state of the art relating
to the theme of the workshop, either through theoretical
analysis or experimental analysis, in order to bridge
the gaps and strengthen the connection between these
areas. The main themes, to be addressed include, but
not limited to:
• Agent and multi-agent
systems and their applications
• Architectures for Web and mobile information
systems
• Data models and query languages
• Human-Web agent interactions
• Information searching techniques
• Network performance and reliability
• P2P data and knowledge sharing
• Semantic web and grid services
• Transaction and workflow models
• Web services architectures and protocols
Only full papers in English will be accepted. The length of the paper is limited to 6 single-spaced double column
IEEE format pages. Papers may only be submitted electronically through the workshop website. All papers will be
reviewed by at least two reviewers. The WAMIS workshop accepted papers will be published by IEEE CS Press. Authors
of high quality papers presented in the workshop will be invited to submit extended version of their papers for
publication in a special issue of the
Journal of
Computer and System Sciences (JCSS).
In 2005, we have arranged a special issue of the International Journal
of Information and Software Technology (Elsevier Science) for the selected papers of WAMIS'05.
