CIIA 2012 - Special Session on Computational Intelligence for Intelligent Agents

Special Session
Computational Intelligence for Intelligent Agents

2012 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence

June 10-15, 2012
Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre
Brisbane, Australia

The intersection between Computational Intelligence and Agent technology opens new significant scenarios in many fields where the representation and management of complex systems play a fundamental role. In the formulation of Agent-based systems, the role of uncertainty is crucial for an efficient and coherent resolution of complex problems. Agents overcome classical programs thanks to their inner capabilities to be autonomous and to adapt their behaviour with the changing of the environment where agents live and interact. This means that inevitably they meet uncertainty during their work, or in many cases, for the high complexity of the problem, the information they handle is (or needs to be) approximate.

Only in recent years there has been a growing awareness that Computational Intelligence handling of uncertainty in agents is equally important as other features of agent paradigm. The aim of this special session is to present top quality research in the area of theory and applications of Intelligent Agents. The session will also provide a forum for the academic community and industry to report on the recent advances on the area We expect high quality original research in the area.

This Special Session will be part of events of the 2012 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (IEEE WCCI 2012) to be held on June 10-15, 2012 at the Internationa Convention Centre in Brisbane, Australia.
