Final Call for Papers

The 2014 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Intelligent Agent 
Technology (IAT 2014)
11-14 August 2014 / Warsaw, Poland
http://wic2014.mimuw.edu.pl/iat/homepage

*Special session on  Agent-Based Simulation Supporting Decision Making*

http://wic2014.mimuw.edu.pl/sites/default/files/iat_sps_simulation.pdf

The aim of the session is to show specific features and applications  of 
the agent-based approach with regard to the decision making in 
simulation of activities.  The agent-based approach can offer 
significant benefits when solving such problems, including facilitation 
of the problem domain description and the development of the system 
model, construction of flexible  and extensible systems as well as 
solving optimisation problems specific for this field.
The scope of  this special session covers but is not limited to:
• Adaptation of decision strategies to the changing state of the environment
• Solving problems in a dynamic environment
• Intelligent computational methods for optimisation problem solving
• Determination of optimal and efficient decision strategies using 
machine learning and data-mining methods
• Influence of autonomy and decentralisation of decision entities on the 
quality
of solutions
• Crisis situation handling
• Innovative services

Possible application domains include:
• Logistics management
• Modelling of an enterprise/company
• Automatic intelligent negotiation between enterprises or their divisions
• Planning and scheduling for different modes of transportation
