Computer algebra in scientific computing ; Vol. 3718 ; 8th International workshop, CASC 2005, Kalamata, Greece, September 12-16, 2005, Proceedings
This volume contains the proceedings of the CASC 2005 continued a tradition — started in 1998 — of international con-ferences on the latest advances in the application of computer algebra systems(CASs) and methods to the solution of various problems in scientific computing.The methods of scientific computing play an important role in research andengineering applications in the natural and the engineering sciences. The signif-icance and impact of computer algebra methods and computer algebra systemsfor scientific computing has increased considerably in recent times. Nowadays,such general-purpose computer algebra systems as Maple, Magma, Mathematica,MuPAD, Singular, CoCoA and others enable their users to solve the followingthree important tasks within a uniform framework:(a) symbolic manipulation;(b) numerical computation;(c) visualization. The result of this job is reflected in this volume, which contains revised versionsof the accepted papers. The collection of papers included in the proceedingscovers various topics of computer algebra methods, algorithms, and softwareapplied to scientific computing:

Computational logic in multi-agent systems ; Vol. 3487 ; 5th International Workshop, CLIMA V, Lisbon, Portugal, September 29-30, 2004, Revised Selected and Invited Papers
The notion of agency has recently increased its in?uence in the research and - velopment of computational logic based systems, while at the same time sign- cantly gaining from decades of research in computational logic. Computational logic provides a well-de?ned, general, and rigorous framework for studying s- tax, semantics and procedures, for implementations, environments, tools, and standards, facilitating the ever important link between speci?cation and ver- cation of computational systems. The purpose of the Computational Logic in Multi-agent Systems (CLIMA) international workshop series is to discuss techniques, based on computational logic, for representing, programming, and reasoning about multi-agent systems in a formal way. Former CLIMA editions were conducted in conjunction with other major computational logic and AI events Thesubmittedpapersshowedthatthelogicalfoundationsofmulti-agent systems are felt by a large community to be a very important research topic, upon which classical AI and agent-related issues are to be addressed.

Long-Term Preservation of Digital Documents : Principles and Practices
Key to our culture is that we can disseminate information, and then maintain and access it over time. While we are rapidly advancing from vulnerable physical solutions to superior, digital media, preserving and using data over the long term involves complicated research challenges and organization efforts. Uwe Borghoff and his coauthors address the problem of storing, reading, and using digital data for periods longer than 50 years. They briefly describe several markup and document description languages like TIFF, PDF, HTML, and XML, explain the most important techniques such as migration and emulation, and present the OAIS (Open Archival Information System) Reference Model. To complement this background information on the technology issues the authors present the most relevant international preservation projects, such as the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative, and experiences from sample projects run by the Cornell University Library and the National Library of the Netherlands. A rated survey list of available systems and tools completes the book.

Logic Based Program Synthesis and Transformation ; Vol. 3573 : 14th International Symposium, LOPSTR 2004, Verona, Italy, August 26-28, 2004, Revised Selected Papers
In this work, we devise an analysis that searches for semantically equivalent code fragments within a given logic program. The presence of duplicated code (or functionality) is a primary indication that the design of the program can be improved by performing a so-called refactoring transformation. Within the framework of our analysis, we formally characterize three situations of duplicated functionality and their associated refactorings: the extraction of a duplicated goal into a new predicate, the removal of equivalent predicates and the generalization of two predicates into a higher-order predicate. The resulting analysis detects in a completely automatic way what program fragments are suitable candidates for the considered refactoring transformations.
Logging in Java with the JDK 1.4 Logging API and Apache log4j

Legal Programming : Designing Legally Compliant RFID and Software Agent Architectures for Retail Processes and Beyond
LEGAL PROGRAMMING: Designing Legally Compliant RFID and Software Agent Architectures for Retail Processes and Beyond provides a process-oriented discussion of the legal concerns presented by agent-based technologies, processes and programming. It offers a general outline of the potential legal difficulties that could arise in relation to them, focusing on the programming of negotiation and contracting processes in a privacy, consumer and commercial context. The authors will elucidate how it is possible to create form of legal framework and design methodology for transaction agents, applicable in any environment and not just in a specific proprietary framework, that provides the right level of compliance and trust. Key elements considered include the design and programming of legally compliant methods, the determination of rights in respect of objects and variables, and ontologies and programming frameworks for agent interactions. Examples are used to illustrate the points made and provide a practical perspective.
Learning and Adaption in Multi-Agent Systems ; 1st International Workshop, LAMAS 2005, Utrecht, The Netherlands, July 25, 2005, Revised Selected Papers
Contains selected and revised papers of the International Workshop on Lea- ing and Adaptation in Multi-Agent Systems (LAMAS 2005), held at the AAMAS 2005 Conference in Utrecht, The Netherlands, July 26. An important aspect in multi-agent systems (MASs) is that the environment evolves over time, not only due to external environmental changes but also due to agent int- actions. For this reason it is important that an agent can learn, based on experience, and adapt its knowledge to make rational decisions and act in this changing environment autonomously. Machine learning techniques for single-agent frameworks are well established. Agents operate in uncertain environments and must be able to learn and act - tonomously. This task is, however, more complex when the agent interacts with other agents that have potentially different capabilities and goals. The single-agent case is structurally different from the multi-agent case due to the added dimension of dynamic interactions between the adaptive agents. Multi-agent learning, i.e., the ability of the agents to learn how to cooperate and compete, becomes crucial in many domains. Autonomous agents and multi-agent systems (AAMAS) is an emerging multi-disciplinary area encompassing computer science, software engineering, biology, as well as cognitive and social sciences. A t- oretical framework, in which rationality of learning and interacting agents can be - derstood, is still under development in MASs, although there have been promising ?
