Call for Papers: June 25, 2004

The University of Tulsa'’s Institute for Software Research (TUISR) explores all aspects of Software Integration from the underlying algorithms and architectures which define them to the intelligent networks and agents which inhabit them and control their interaction.  Consequently, this workshop will focus on blending exiting and future technology among software interoperability and integration.  Legacy, distributed, dynamic, mobile, and specialized systems all require new stable and secure ways to interact.  Additionally, when considering distributed systems, we are also interested in adaptation and self-organization using non-concentrated decision procedures such as agent coordination protocols, focusing on quality of service and service composition.  Thus, these problems require solutions at all levels of software development.  This workshop is also interested in Intelligent Information Networks (IINs), as this topic includes many challenges for integrating distributed and dynamic systems into one cohesive system.

 

 

Paper topics include:

·        Middleware Configurations

·        Service Composition

·        Agent Interoperability

·        Optimization Algorithms

·        Architect/Design/Simulate Integration

·        Intelligent Networks

·        Distributed Decision Mechanisms

·        Gateway Protocols

·        Modeling Techniques

·        Error Handling during Execution

·        Universal IDL

·        Agent Security in an Open Environment

 

Location

The SOFT-PI workshop is to be held on July 15, 2004 from 10am to 3pm at the Allen Chapman Activity Center (ACAC) on the University of Tulsa campus.
