Workshop on Agent Technologies for e-Services ATES 2002 http://www.cmis.csiro.au/ATES2002

to be held in conjunction with Net.ObjectDays 2002 (NODe 2002) October 7-10, 2002, Erfurt, Germany

Workshop Chair Dr. Ryszard Kowalczyk CSIRO Mathematical and Information Sciences, Australia (ryszard.kowalczyk@csiro.au)

The aim of the workshop is to explore and promote the use of software agent technologies for e-services including automation support for dynamic and collaborative discovery, creation, composition, execution, delivery, monitoring and management of e-services.

Topics of the Workshop

The topics of the workshop include (but are not restricted to) the following issues:

• Agents for customer profiling and identification of needs for e-services
• E-service modeling and description (e.g. agent-based workflow, ontology, semantic web)
• Agent communication and interactions in e-services (e.g. ACL, protocols)
• Agent-based e-service discovery and selection (e.g. search, filtering, brokering, matching)
• Agents for e-service creation, composition and integration (e.g. generation, coordination, collaboration, interoperability)
• Agent-mediated e-service contracting (e.g. RFQ, auctions, negotiations, exchanges)
• Agents-based e-service execution and delivery (e.g. direct, ASP, e-portals, mobile, wireless)
• Agents for e-service monitoring, control and management
• Quality of e-services (e.g. agents for evaluation, analysis and assurance of QoS)
• Agent-related e-service security, privacy and legal aspects
• Agent-based platforms, infrastructure and systems for e-services
• Agent-based e-service applications (e.g. in e-Commerce, e-Business, e-Government, e-Health, e-Logistics, Supply Chain Management, Customer Relation Management, Virtual Enterprises, networked and portable information appliances, mobile devices, multimedia e-services, etc)
