Our goals

The Technical Committee on Distributed Intelligent Systems is an international special interest group of specialists active in the research and applications of collaborative agent-based 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 applications include agent architectures, agent intelligence, agent communications, agent collaboration, agent simulation and optimization, and agent human-machine interfaces. An important methodology of distributed intelligent systems is the role-based approach for collaborative agent design.

We provide a forum for members to participate in this emerging field and an opportunity for those who wish to learn about the theory and applications of this exciting field. Further details about the TC and its goals are available in the December 2009 issue of the eNewsletter.

What we are doing

  • Invited lectures at SMC Chapters in Canada, China, Europe, Korea, India, Japan, South Africa, Taiwan, Tunisia, USA, and other locations worldwide
  • IEEE International Conference on Distributed Human-Machine Systems, March 2008 in Athens, Greece
  • Workshop on Engineering Cyber-Physical Ecosystems at the 2008 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics in Singapore, October 2008
  • Workshop on Engineering Cyber-Physical Ecosystems at the 2008 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics in Singapore, October 2008
  • Tutorial on Role-Based Collaboration at the 2009 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics in San Antonio, Texas
  • Tutorial on Role-Based Collaboration at the 2010 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics in Istanbul, Turkey, October 2010.
  • Special issue on "Holonic Manufacturing Systems" for the IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Part C, January 2011
  • Articles on professional activities of our members for submission to the SMC eNewsletter
  • Technical papers for submission to the IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics
