Our goals

The Distributed Intelligent Systems Technical Committee is an international network of specialists active in the research and applications of agent-based Distributed Intelligent Systems. Key application areas include manufacturing and supply chains, and infrastructures for service, energy, transportation, and emergency management systems. The core research topics for these systems include agent architectures, agent intelligence, agent communications, agent collaboration, agent simulation and optimization, and agent human-machine interfaces. Fundamental to these topics is the "role based" approach for agent design.

The impetus for this technical committee comes from the results of previous international consortia and research programs in which many of our members have participated. The Distributed Intelligent Systems TC will provide a forum for our members to participate in this emerging field and an opportunity for those who wish to become involved in its further development both from theoretical and application perspectives.

What we are doing

  • Special issue entitled "Collaboration Support Systems" in the IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Part A, Systems and Humans, 2006
  • Invited lectures on Distributed Intelligent Systems in Canada, China, Japan, Taiwan, USA, and Europe, 2006-07
  • Workshop on Role-Based Collaboration" at CSCW'06, November 2006
  • 2006 IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Intelligent Systems in Prague, Czech Republic, June 2006
  • Special sessions on distributed intelligent systems and role-based collaboration at the 2006 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics in Tapei, Taiwan, October 2006
  • Special sessions on distributed intelligent systems and role-based collaboration at the 2007 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics in Montreal, Canada, October 2007
  • Workshop on eNetworks Cyberengineering: Infrastructures for Cyber-Physical Ecosystems at SMC 2007, October 2007

Why don't you join us?

We welcome your participation in the Distributed Intelligent Systems Technical Committee by contributing papers to our conferences and workshops, organizing special sessions or tutorials in your area of expertise, and exchanging your results with peers prior to publication or commercialization. Most importantly, we provide opportunities for our members to network with international specialists and learn about this emerging field.

Our planned activities

  • International Conference on IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, to be held in Singapore on October 12-15, 2008
  • Special issue on "Emergency Management Systems and Distributed Intelligent Systems"
  • 2008 IEEE International Conference on Distributed Human-Machine Systems, March 9-12, 2008 in Athens, Greece
  • Invited lectures at SMC Chapters worldwide
  • Articles on professional activities of our members in the SMC eNewsletter.
  • Articles for IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Part A: Systems and Humans
