CFP: Symposium on Artificial Societies for Ambient Intelligence (ASAMI) AISB Convention, Newcastle University, UK. 2nd-5th April 2007. The vision of Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a society based on unobtrusive, often invisible interactions amongst people and computer-based services in a global computing environment. Services in AmI will be ubiquitous in that there will be no specific bearer or provider but, instead, they will be associated with a variety of objects and devices in the environment, which will not bear any resemblance to computers. People will interact with these services through intelligent and intuitive interfaces embedded in these objects and devices, which in turn will be sensitive to what people need. In this one-day Symposium we would like to explore the application and development of agent societies for AmI, establish a body of knowledge and a theoretical framework for this, and use this framework to relate existing work on areas such as the semantic web, cognitive and social agents, and ambient and ubiquitous technologies. We also hope to present current research in the area of agent societies for AmI, where human activities are supported by social organisations of agents, computing devices or both, and assess the outcomes of such research. The Symposium will identify issues for future investigation, establish links between researchers and encourage international collaborations. Topics Topics of relevance to the symposium include, but are not limited to, the following. All topics must be addressed in the context of AMI. . Social architectures . Agent interaction . Reasoning and knowledge representation . Reactivity and pro-activity . Learning . Decision making . Co-operation and co-ordination . Social emergence and evolution . Normative reasoning and regulations . Security, trust and privacy . Service-oriented approaches . Interaction design and interfaces . Mobility .
