IAT4SIS 2014 - 2014 Workshop on Intelligent Agents and Technologies for Socially Inter?connected Systems

IAT4SIS workshop will provide a space for the discussion on Artificial Intelligence driven concepts and recent developments on Agent-based techniques dealing with interoperability issues in socially interconnected systems. These issues mainly refer to complementary perspectives on interaction, coordination, negotiation, regulation and trust.
A wide variety of electronic business scenarios and systems, including enterprises networking, as well as agent-based approaches to this subject, have been proposed in recent years. The primary goal of this workshop is to bring together the most recent and innovative scientific research from a diversity of fields as Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Distributed Systems that focus on modelling, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of computational agents for interconnected systems, namely in e-business operations.
In the context of IAT4SIS workshop, we want to present and discuss promising new work towards the development of advanced methodologies and tools related to agents and multi-agent systems that:
support the interaction and collaboration between heterogeneous business agent entities (providing advanced services like negotiation, argumentation, e- contracting, ontology facilities, etc)
support business process management, through on-line learning and cross organisations adaptation
promote the security of social interconnected applications, through regulation and normative procedures and trust-based measures
analyze and support, through electronic tools, (enterprises or social) web-based networking
The workshop includes sessions for presentation of peer-reviewed papers, and (panel) discussions
