Our goals

The Distributed Intelligent Systems Technical Committee is an international special interest group 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 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
  • Invited lectures on Distributed Intelligent Systems in Canada, China, Japan, Taiwan, USA, and Europe, 2007-08
  • 2008 IEEE International Conference on Distributed Human-Machine Systems, March 9-12, 2008 in Athens, Greece
  • SMC Workshop on Engineering Cyber-Physical Ecosystems at SMC 2008, Singapore, October 12, 2008
  • Special sessions at 2008 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Singapore, October 13-15, 2008
  • Special issue on "Emergency Management Systems and Distributed Intelligent Systems"
  • Invited lectures at SMC Chapters worldwide
  • Articles on professional activities of our members for submission to the SMC eNewsletter
  • Articles for submission to the IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Parts A, B, and C

Why don't you join us?

The Technical Committee on Distributed Intelligent Systems provides you with opportunities to continue professional and personal development by

  • Networking with peers and experts in the field
  • Keeping current with research and applications
  • Exchanging your results with peers prior to publication or commercialization
