* CALL FOR PAPERS
* 7th Workshop on Agents in Traffic and Transportation @AAMAS 2012
* 4 or 5 June 2012 - Valencia, Spain

* Website: http://www.ia.urjc.es/att2012

* Post-proceedings will be published in a special issue of the
* SCI-indexed Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems
* (Impact factor 2010: 1.273, 9th out of 26 in category Transportation * 
Science & Technology) 
*****************************************************************************

Building effective and user-friendly transportation systems is one of 
the big challenges for engineers in the 21st century. The rapid change 
of location, enabled by plane, high-speed rail, sea and road travel, has 
constantly become easier and more natural. These days we travel without 
any of the difficulties that accompanied taking a trip less than a 
century ago. All we have to do is to organize and to pick up the 
transport mode that comes closest to our objectives. In much the same 
way, many new opportunities for the delivery of goods are being explored 
and commercially exploited.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring researchers and practitioners 
together in order to set up visions on how agent technology can be and 
is used for today's isolated IT-tools so as to model, simulate, and 
manage large-scale complex transportation systems. Therefore, we are 
interested in research papers, case studies and practitioners' reports 
on the implementation and use of Autonomous Agents in all areas related 
to transportation, traffic and logistics. Besides running real-world 
applications, we are also interested in papers concerning demonstrators 
or testbed that are still under development. Conceptual papers and those 
reporting on particular components of transportation systems are also 
welcome.

This is the seventh of a well established series of workshops since 
2000. Post-proceedings will be published in a special issues of the 
*SCI-indexed* Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems.

***************************************************************************** 
Relevant topics include (but are not limited to):

- applications of multiagent technology in traffic, transportation, and 
transport logistics - coordination in multiagent transportation systems 
- agent-based traffic control
- distributed decision making in traffic, transportation and transport 
logistics - multi-agent systems for intelligent vehicles - mobile 
devices and agents in transportation systems
- intelligent monitoring of transportation systems using agents - data 
collection, filtering and distribution of traffic information - 
autonomous vehicles and collaborative driving - cognitive approaches to 
modeling traffic participants - machine learning approaches to 
transportation systems - agent-based approaches to modelling driver 
behaviour - agent-based simulation of traffic and transportation systems 
- agent-based pedestrian and crowd simulation - future technologies: 
opportunities for multiagent systems - vehicle2vehicle communication and 
multiagent systems
- requirements and issues involved in electromobility
For ATT2012 we specially encourage submissions on real-world 
applications using a minimum of assumptions about future equipments and 
using novel techniques from the area of Autonomic Traffic Control and 
Management.
