HICSS-32 Mini-Track on Software Agents | There will be a minitrack on Software Agents as part of the the Software Technology Track of HICSS-32, the 32nd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences to be held in Maui, Hawaii - January 5-8, 1999. The objectives of this minitrack include the exploration of both theoretical and practical approaches to building agents and infrastructures towards the support of agent communities, as well as characterization of the system and domain conditions under which an approach is most effective. Agents and agent-based systems are being developed for a wide range of application domains, including desktop tools, information discovery and integration, collaborative technologies, concurrent engineering, manufacturing, electronic commerce, and business systems; case-studies of successful applications are invited as well. A 300 word abstract should be submitted by March 16 with full papers due on June 1. |
HICS32 Electronic Commerce Technologies track | There will be a minitrack on Electronic Commerce Technologies as part of the the Software Technology Track of HICSS-32, the 32nd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences to be held in Maui, Hawaii - January 5-8, 1999. " The purpose of this mini-track is to cover enabling technologies, critical technical approaches and business-centered design methodologies that address shortcomings of contemporary E-Commerce applications and that can have a major impact on the evolution of business-to-consumer and mainly of business-to-business E-Commerce. Emphasis is given to distributed systems technologies and in particular how these meet the requirements of business (vertical) applications that span locational as well as organizational boundaries." A 300 word abstract should be submitted by March 16 with full papers due on June 1. |
Compositional Software Architectures | A report on the OMG-DARPA Workshop on Compositional Software Architectures is available. The main topics covered were components, -ilities, and web-ORB integration. Additional information is available on the workshop homepage. |
NSF's KDI research program |
NSF's foundation wide program on Knowledge and
Distributed Intelligence (KDI) is out. NSF expects to fund
approximately 60 to 75 standard three year research awards ($1M/year
max) with $50 million available for KDI in FY 1998. Letters of intent
are due April 1 and full proposals May 8 (electronically!). Proposals
are solicited from individuals or groups for research that is
inherently multidisciplinary or that, while lying within a single
discipline, has clear impact on at least one other discipline. There
are three foci for 1998:
