Call for Papers
FGCS'94 Workshop
on
Heterogeneous Cooperative Knowledge-Bases
[in conjunction with FGCS'94,Dec. 13 (Tue), 14 (Wed), 1994]
Date: December 15 (Thu), 16 (Fri), 1994
Place: Shoenbach Sabo, Tokyo, Japan
Organized by ICOT HKB-TG
A new cooperative framework of heterogeneous problem solvers such
as databases, knowledge-bases, constraint solvers, and
applications in a distributed environment is indispensable for
constructing advanced knowledge information processing systems.
For this reason, cooperation among active researchers in such
fields as distributed problem solving, multi-agent, multidatabase,
and knowledge representation is rapidly becoming more important.
This workshop will bring together researchers in related areas,
including databases, distributed artificial intelligence, and
knowledge programming, to discuss how they contribute to each
other.
There will be four international invited talks including
Michael N. Huhns (MCC),
"Global Information Management via Local Autonomous Agents"
Mike Papazoglou (Queensland Univ. of Technology),
"Using Reflection as a Means of Achieving Cooperation"
Selected pepers from this Workshop will be encouraged to submit
to an special issue of International Journal of Intelligent &
Cooperative Information Systems.
