The novelty comes from the fact that such systems lack one central complex controller, who normally co-ordinates/schedules different tasks in the system by virtue of its access to the global system state. On the contrary, swarm systems have simple entities that have only local knowledge but together they form an intelligent system. The researchers have applied the techniques to a large number of difficult optimization problems including traveling salesman, the quadratic assignment, scheduling, vehicle routing, routing in telecommunication networks (including ad-hoc networks) and in swarm robotics. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Models of the behavior of social insects or other animal societies that can stimulate new algorithmic approaches. * Empirical and theoretical research in Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) * Swarm robotics * Emergent Coordination (coordination without coordinators) * Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) * Swarm-inspired routing algorithms * Application of swarm intelligence to real-world problems * Multiagent Systems (MAS) inspired from swarma behavior * Security systems based on swarm behavior * Self-organized applications to Computer Science inspired from social animals * Self-organization in business applications ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:* NEW: A submission website is available at http://cs.fit.edu/icai05/ Prospective authors are invited to submit their paper (up to 7 pages) using the electronic submission system (link above). Please send file in PDF or Postscript format. The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 IEEE style -- use this link to access LaTeX and Word styles) pages. Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. . The first page of the draft paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address, E-mail address, telephone number, and Fax number for each author. The first page should also include the name of the author who will be presenting the paper (if accepted) and a maximum of 5 keywords. Submissions should explicitly state their contribution and their relevance to the themes of the session. Other criteria for selection will be originality, significance, correctness, and clarity. All accepted papers are expected to be presented at the conference. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *EVALUATION PROCESS:* Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and soundness. Each paper will be refereed by at least three researchers in the topical area. The Camera-Ready papers will be reviewed by one of the reviewers to ensure expected quality and compliance with the reviewers comments. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *PUBLICATION:* The conference proceedings will be published by CSREA Press (ISBN) in hardcopy. It will be a multi-volume set. The proceedings will be available at the conference. Some accepted papers will also be considered for journal publication (soon after the conference). (In addition to the hardcopy, it is also planned to publish the papers on a CD.) All conference proceedings published by CSREA Press are considered for inclusion in major database indexes that are designed to provide easy access to the current literature of the sciences (database examples: ISI, Thomson Scientific, IEE INSPEC, DBLP, etc.). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE:* Best papers will also be considered for publication in a journal special issue. Details about the journal will be published here as soon as we finalize the arrangements. The chosen papers will have to be expanded to a level of a journal and will be re-reviewed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *SESSION CO-CHAIRS:* Muddassar FAROOQ Informatik III Universitaet Dortmund August-Schmidt-Str 12 44227 Dortmund, Germany Phone: +49 231 7555325 Fax: +49 231 7555323 email: muddassar.farooq@cs.uni-dortmund.de Ronaldo MENEZES Florida Tech , Computer Sciences Center for Computation and Intelligence 150 West University Blvd Melbourne, FL 32901 USA Phone: +1 321 6747623 Fax : +1 321 6747046 email: rmenezes@cs.fit.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *PROGRAM COMMITTEE:* Carl Anderson, IcoSystems Coorporation, USA Thomas Bartz-Beielstein, University of Dortmund, Germany Tim Blackwell, University of London, UK Juergen Branke, University of Karlsruhe, Germany Gianni Di Caro, Université de Bruxelles / IDSIA Xiaodong Li, RMIT University, Australia Eraldo Ribeiro, Florida Institute of Technology, USA Paul Rybski, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Robert Tolksdorf, Freie Universitaet Berlin, Germany Alan Wood, University of York, UK Franco Zambonelli, Universitá di Modena e Reggio Emilia, Italy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ .
