**********************************************************************
The 2006 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on
Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT'06)
will be jointly held with the 2006 IEEE/WIC/ACM International
Conference on Web Intelligence (WI'06)
and the 6th IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM'06)
for providing synergism among the three research areas.
It will provide opportunities for technical
collaboration beyond that of previous conferences. The three
conferences will have a joint opening, keynote, reception, and
banquet. Attendees only need to register for one conference and can
attend workshops, sessions and tutorials across the three conferences.
We are also planning a joint panel and joint paper sessions that discuss
common problems in the three areas.
IAT 2006 provides a leading international forum to bring together
researchers and practitioners from diverse fields, such as computer
science, information technology, business, education, human factors,
systems engineering, and robotics, to (1) examine the design
principles and performance characteristics of various approaches in
intelligent agent technology, and (2) increase the
cross-fertilization of ideas on the development of autonomous agents
and multi-agent systems among different domains. By encouraging
idea-sharing and discussions on the underlying logical, cognitive,
physical, and sociological foundations as well as the enabling
technologies of intelligent agents, IAT 2006 will foster the
development of novel paradigms and advanced solutions in agent-based
computing.

On-Line Submissions and Publication
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
High-quality papers in all IAT related areas are solicited. Papers
exploring new directions or areas will receive a careful and
supportive review. All submitted papers will be reviewed on the
basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity.
Note that IAT'06 will accept ONLY on-line submissions, containing
PDF versions.
Paper submissions should be limited to a maximum of 8 pages in the
IEEE 2-column format (see the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings
Author Guidelines at http://www.computer.org/portal/pages/ieeecs/publications),
and will be reviewed by the Program Committee on the basis of
technical quality, relevance to data mining, originality,
significance, and clarity. Please use the Submission Form on the IAT'06
website to submit your paper. Accepted papers will be published
in the conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press that are indexed by EI.
A selected number of IAT'06 accepted papers will be expanded and
revised for inclusion in Web Intelligence and Agent Systems: An
International Journal (http://wi-consortium.org/journal.html) and in
Annual Review of Intelligent Informatics
(http://www.wi-consortium.org/annual.html)
The best paper awards will be conferred at the conference on the
authors of (1) the best research paper and (2) the best application
paper. Application-oriented submissions will be considered for the
best application paper award.
More detailed instructions and the On-Line Submission Form can be
found from the IAT'06 homepage: http://www.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/~wii06/.
++++++++++++++++++++
Industry/Demo-Track
++++++++++++++++++++
We solicit Industry/Demo-Track papers by the following two methods:
(1) Industry papers of 4 pages can be submitted on the same schedule as
the research track.
(2) Separate 2 page demo proposals can submitted at a later schedule.
(3) Full regular paper submissions can include a demo option.
That is, a full paper submissions will be asked to
specify if they would like to give a demonstration; choice of
demonstrations (while utilizing information from the regular reviewing
process) will be selected based on value as a demonstration.
For options (1) and (2), please find more detailed instructions
at the homepages: http://www.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/iwi06/iat/?index=demo
We are planning to arrange the Demo session in the afternoon of Dec 19
(before and during the conference reception), jointly with the WI'06 and
ICDM'06 Demo sessions.
