Special issue of “Multiagent-based Societal Systems”
The Editorial Committee of the Journal of Information Processing
Journal of Information Processing (JIP) is pleased to announce the call for papers for a special issue of “Multiagent-based Societal Systems”.
The field of Multiagentbased Societal Systems is a new interdisciplinary field that aims to apply techniques from multiagent systems and related disciplines (for example, smart grid, green computing, life innovation, smart elderly care systems, etc.) to the balancing of environmental, economic, and societal needs, in order to support sustainable development and a sustainable future. Research in Multiagent-based Societal Systems is inherently interdisciplinary: it brings together multiagent computational fields and a variety of fields with a long tradition in the study of smart city problems, such as environmental sciences, biology, economics, and sociology. Multiagent systems, in particular, can play a key role in addressing challenges in smart computing.
This special issue calls for papers the following aspects and topics of the field of Multiagent-based Societal Systems. These include, but are not limited to the following areas:．
-
Power-aware Systems and Applications
-
Distributed Coordination of Resources
-
Systems, Applications and Services for Accessibility and Personal Autonomy
-
Use of Sensors for Environmental Monitoring
-
Urban Computing for Sustainability
