Multi-Agent Systems in Transportation Systems
Invited Session @ AMSTA-21
Agent & Multi-Agent Systems: Technologies & Applications
http://amsta-21.kesinternational.org/
June 16-18, 2021, KESonline Virtual Conference Centre

http://amsta-21.kesinternational.org/cms/userfiles/is03.pdf
**************************************************************************
The purpose of this session is to bring researchers and practitioners
together to discuss how agents and multi-agent systems technologies can be
used to model, simulate, optimize and manage nowadays large-scale,
heterogeneous, multimodal, and complex transportation systems. We are
looking for research papers, case studies, and practitioners' reports on
the implementation and use of multi-agent systems in all areas related to
all the modes of transportation and logistics.

Topics:

   - Activity-based multi-agent mobilty
   - Applications of Multi-Agent Systems in traffic, transportation, and
   transport logistics
   - Optimization (e.g., traffic assignment, routing, route choice)
   - Autonomic transportation systems
   - Coordination in intelligent transportation systems
   - Intelligent, adaptive traffic control
   - Distributed decision making in traffic, transportation, and transport
   logistics
   - Multi-agent systems for intelligent vehicles
   - Mobile devices in smart transportation systems
   - Autonomous vehicles and collaborative driving
   - Self-* properties of traffic systems
   - Agent-based approaches to modeling driver behavior
   - Agent-based simulation of traffic and transportation systems
   - Agent-based pedestrian and crowd simulation
   - Shared and on-demand mobility (car sharing, ride sharing, Mobility as
   a Service, etc.)

**************************************************************************
KES-AMSTA is an international scientific conference for research in the
field of agent and multi-agent systems. Agents and multi-agent systems are
related to a modern software paradigm that has long been recognized as a
promising technology for constructing autonomous, complex, and intelligent
systems.

Consisting of keynote talks by experts in the field, oral and poster
presentations, AMSTA-21 will provide an excellent opportunity for
researchers to discuss modern approaches and techniques for agent and
multi-agent systems and their applications, as well as intelligent systems
in the field of social networks, self-organization and trust.

   - Publication: Springer; Series on Smart Innovation, Systems and
   Technologies

Scope

The AMSTA conference includes a broad range of topics applicable to Agents
and Multi-agent Systems. The following topics are indicative of the scope
of the conference, however, other relevant topics are applicable.

Agent and Multi-agent Systems Software agent is a program that performs
actions defined by the user. A multi-agent system consists of autonomous
and collaborative agents that have a particular degree of mobility and
intelligence. It is intended to provide the researchers with an opportunity
to exchange theoretical and technical knowledge, hands-on experience, as
well as to discuss current development and explore trends in agent systems.
The call is addressed to scientists and engineers from both academic and
industrial environments, who design, develop, and implement software agents
in different areas and applications.

New Digital and Knowledge-Economy

The modern economy is driven by technologies and knowledge. Digital
technologies can free, shift, and multiply choices, often intruding on the
space of other industries, by providing new ways of conducting business
operations and creating values for customers and companies. Examples of
technologies are mobile and cloud computing, big data analysis, business
intelligence, artificial intelligence, social systems, computer embedded
systems, and nature-inspired manufacturing, etc. We would therefore love to
hear from both the research and industrial communities on their latest work
on innovative technologies and applications that is potentially disruptive
to industries. Furthermore, technologies need to work well with innovative
business models to create wealth and welfare. In an attempt to bring the
two communities together, we would therefore love to hear from business
communities on their experiences for adopting technologies when creating
new business models.

Industrial Track

The purpose of the Industrial Track is to promote research in our
aforementioned topic areas and foster scientific exchange between
researchers, practitioners, scientists, students, and engineers in
multi-agent systems and disruptive technologies. We particularly recognize
the importance of inter-disciplinary work to create today's Digital and
Knowledge Economy.

Standard length scientific papers, an overview of research conducted in a
company, and short visionary paper and poster presentation are therefore
most welcome.
