-------------- AIM ---------------
Market mechanisms are entering into new areas of human activities in a
real life. Everywhere, the distribution and allocation of goods take
place, the temptations and incentives for market rules introduction
appear. But not all areas of human activities are identical and follow
the same principles. The examples of sophisticated markets can be
related with a trade under constraints (e.g. Kirchoffs Law in a power
grid), real-time trade, non-storable or perishable commodities, trade
with bundles of commodities, and others. These new requirements pose
many open research problems, which are highly related to information
management, e.g. semantics issues in trading, architectures of
information systems for market mechanisms, incorporating social networks
into trade processes, data modeling for negotiations and bidding, market
processes modeling and management, and many others. The main goal of the
workshop is to address and discuss the most important problems. It
intends to be an open forum for academics, practitioners, and vendors,
allowing them to discuss the current scientific and technological
challenges in information systems supporting market mechanism.
This workshop is a continuation of a workshop, which took place in
November 2010 at Warsaw University of Technology and was titled
"Modeling Multi-commodity Trade: Information exchange methods". A
collection of extended version of papers was published in a book
Modeling Multi- commodity Trade: Information exchange methods in series
Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing, vol. 121, Kaleta M., Traczyk
T. (Eds.), 2012.
-------------- List of workshop topics --------------
The workshop will cover all aspects of data processing and management
applied to trade and market mechanism, including, but not limited to:
# Multi-commodity trade modeling
# Market designs modeling
# Market processes modeling and transformations
# Bidding languages
# Data modeling for negotiations and bidding
# Trade agent languages and communication, XML
# Offers matching
# Semantic information, ontologies in trade
# Searching in a market environment
# Architectures of the trade information systems: Model-Driven
Architectures, event processing
# Methodologies for designing the trade information systems
# Web services and mulit-agent systems
# Trade in social networks
# Data processing on real-time markets
# Information exchange protocols in the market mechanisms
# Security and privacy in information systems supporting market processes
# Application of distributed intelligence in the trade
# Innovative applications of multi-commodity models
------ Paper submission and publication -----
All papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their
scientific merit and relevance to the workshop. A volume with workshop
papers is planned to be published by Springer in the Advances in
Intelligent Systems and Computing (AISC) series
(http://www.springer.com/series/4240). AISC is indexed by ISI
Proceedings, DBLP, Ulrich's, EI-Compendex, SCOPUS, Zentralblatt Math,
MetaPress, and Springerlink. Workshop papers must not exceed 10 pages in
the AISC format and must comply with the AISC formatting guidelines
available at http://www.springer.com/series/4240 (the link to
Instructions for Authors is at the right hand side). Papers should be
send in PDF format to Mariusz Kaleta, mkaleta@ia.pw.edu.pl.
The authors of all the accepted and presented workshop papers will be
invited to prepare extended versions of their papers after the workshop.
After an additional round of reviews the extended papers will appear in
a special issue of the international journal Control and Cybernetics
(indexed by Thomson Reuters). The special issue of Control and
Cybernetics containing ADBIS 2012 workshop papers will be indexed by DBLP.
