within
4th International Conference on Web Intelligence, Mining and Semantics (WIMS-2014)
Thessaloniki, Greece, June 2-4, 2014

Workshop Description

Software agent technologies reached a certain level of maturity that allows development of applications spanning from lab prototypes to mature real-life systems, in domains that could have not been imagined before. Furthermore, software agent technologies proved their usefulness in synergy with methods of artificial intelligence and semantic technologies.

The aim of the WASA workshop is to contribute to the advancement of technologies and applications of software agents with a special interest in intelligent methods including, but not limited to: reasoning, semantics, pattern recognition, learning and cognition, etc.

The workshop welcomes papers addressing research and experience reports on various applications of software agents. Papers describing finalized research, as well as work-in-progress, are welcome. The topics of the workshop cover, broadly understood, software agent and intelligent technologies connected to applications and experiences in areas like:

e-business
social networks
e-learning
grid and cloud computing
gaming
smart environments
Internet of Things
e-health
multimedia
disaster and crisis management
risk analysis and mitigation
virtual organizations
simulation
energy conservation
sustainability and green computing
planning and decision making
traffic control
image and video understanding
manufacturing and industrial management
etc. (but this list is not exhaustive)
