> INTRODUCTION
>
> Telecommunications is a rapidly evolving area. Network
> technology and communication structures are becoming
> increasingly complex, accompanied by a strong push for
> deregulation and liberalisation of the telecommunications
> markets. Traditional providers of telecommunications services
> and Public Network Operators are transforming into providers
> of telematics services. As one consequence, the market is
> dominated by a broad range of networking technologies that
> are constantly being enhanced. Additionally, Internet
> technology is gaining momentum in its influence on
> telecommunications. At the same time, users of telematics
> services place rising demands on these, including
>
> * personalisation of telematics services
> * support of user mobility (terminal/location independence)
> * integrated access to and usage of telematics services
> * telematics services independent of networking technologies
> * ease of use
> * cost and time efficiency
>
> There is a large number of telematics services and application areas
> that
> reflect the developments in telecommunications technologies and the
> demands
> of users, e.g.
>
> * Intelligent Communication: Personal Information Management
> * Electronic Commerce
> * Traffic Telematics
> * Smart Home Services
> * Service and Network Management, Intelligent Networks
>
> Agent-oriented Technology (AOT), through its basic
> characteristics and principles, lends itself very well to
> providing a technology base for building such services and
> enabling such application areas; in the past, research and
> development in AOT has gained initial experience with
> selected services and application areas and technological
> approaches. Now it is necessary to focus on development
> platforms serving to comprehensively realise agent-based
> telematics services which must incorporate sound concepts for
> providing management functionality such as accounting and
> security. The design of appropriate agent architectures needs
> to be progressed, as well as agent cooperation protocols,
> agent migration mechanisms, run-time environments for agent
> execution and interaction, but also tools for developing,
> simulating and testing agent-based telematics services.
>
> AOT is substantially driven by rapid advancements in the
> development of the Java programming language which contains
> important constructs and elements for realising development
> platforms for agent-based telematics services. Distributed
> programming standards like CORBA, programming languages as
> Java and also specific Agent development environments
> providing tools for building agent-based applications.
>
> A further important factor influencing the progression of AOT
> is a trend commonly labeled as "Network Computing": here, not
> only can applications be downloaded on demand from network
> nodes and stored temporarily on the user's terminal
> equipment, but also through code mobility the execution and
> control of services shifts from the user's terminal equipment
> into the network.
>
> It is the aim of the IATA '98 workshop to bring together
> interested people from the different areas and bodies
> affected by these developments and trends, e.g. PNOs, content
> providers, service providers, researchers etc. The workshop
> will provide a forum for discussing the different
> perspectives and requirements on telematics and AOT; also,
> the workshop provides an opportunity for the presentation of
> state-of-the-art approaches and techniques in the area of
> agent-based telematics services.

> WORKSHOP themes
>
> The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
>
> * Open, Scalable Agent Architectures for Telecommunications
> Applications

> Network
> Computing)
> * Languages for Realizing Agent Architectures for
> Telecommunications
> Applications (Mobile and Static Agents)
> * Communication and Cooperation in Telecommunication
> * Intelligent Agents for the Realization of Agent-based Electronic
> Marketplaces

> SUBMISSIONS
>
> Authors are invited to submit papers describing both
> theoretical and practical work in the area of intelligent
> agents for telecommunications appications. Topics of interest
> include, but are not limited to the ones listed above in the
> workshop description. Papers which describe ongoing research
> or provide an excellent surveying work are in particular
> welcome. All submitted papers will be refereed for quality,
> correctness, originality and relevance.
>
> Papers accepted or under review by other conferences or
> journals are not acceptable.
>
> Authors should submit five (5) copies of papers and an EMAIL
> VERSION OF THE ABSTRACT by February 6, 1998 to one of the
> programme co-chairs. Papers received after the deadline will
> be returned unopened. All papers will be reviewed by the
> program committee, and authors will be notified of acceptance
> by March 23, 1998. Each paper should clearly indicate the
> nature of its scientific contribution, and the problems,
> domains, or environments to which it is applicable.
>
> Abstracts emailed to Petrie should not use attachments but
> rather only clear ASCII text included in the body of the
> email. Formatting is not required for abstracts.
>
> Paper Format: Submitted papers must be printed on 8 1/2" x
> 11" or A4 paper using 12 point type (10 characters per inch
> for typewriters). Each page must have no more than 38 lines
> and an average of 75 characters per line. (This corresponds
> to LaTex article style, 12 point.) Each paper should have a
> single title page which includes a 150-word abstract and up
> to two topic areas covered by the paper. (These will be used
> to focus reviewing and ultimately to structure the technical
> program.) The length of the paper must be at most 5000 words.
>
> The accepted papers will be distributed as workshop material.
