    KSCO - Knowledge Systems For Coalition Operations is an international
    working group exploring research in Knowledge Systems for Coalition
    Operations. Biennially, KSCO organizes a technical conference where
    practitioners and key decision makers in coalition operations management
    meet and discuss with researchers from areas of knowledge-based systems,
    planning and multi-agent systems, exchange experience and ideas, share
    inspiration and suggest novel concepts. It can also lead to joint project
    proposals.

    After very successful events in Edinburgh, UK and Toulouse, France the KSCO
    conference in 2004 will be organized at IHMC, Pensacola, Florida.

    KSCO 2004 welcomes submission of original research papers from the areas of
    knowledge-based systems, coalition formation and multi-agent systems related
    to coalition operations management. We will review theoretical,
    experimental, methodological papers as well as case studies, prototype
    evaluations and application reports. KSCO organizers particularly encourage
    submission of reports presenting larger coalition related national and
    international project and programmes.

    AREAS OF CONFERENCE:

    Suggested topics to be discussed include but are not limited to:
    * innovative theory and techniques for coalition formation
    * requirements for knowledge-based coalition planning and operations
    * knowledge-based approaches to command and control
    * knowledge-based approaches to coalition logistics
    * applications and requirements for knowledge-based coalition planning
    * knowledge-based approaches to Operations-Other-Than-War
    * multi-agent systems and the concept of agency in coalitions
    * tools and techniques for knowledge-based simulation and modeling of
    coalition operations
    * security and maintenance of private information or knowledge in coalition
    operations
    * autonomous vs. centrally managed coalition operations
    * mobility, agile and autonomous computing in coalition operation
    * complexity issues and scalability in coalition operations
    * deployed systems, case studies

    Participation will be by invitation of the organizing committee and there
    will be a limited number of attendees to encourage a productive exchange of
    ideas between those involved.

    The interested authors shall submit either long (8 pages in the
    proceedings) or short (4 pages in the proceedings) papers describing the
    work on knowledge systems for coalition operations. Short papers are
    particularly suitable for project/programmes introduction, descriptions of
    demonstrations and prototypes.

    The IEEE Intelligent Systems editorial board has agreed to consider the best
    KSCO-2004 papers for publication. The KSCO programme committee will invite
    the authors of the best papers to submit them to the full review process of
    IEEE Intelligent Systems.

    For formatting instruction see
    http://www.aiai.ed.ac.uk/project/coalition/ksco/ksco-2004/KSCO-TEMPLATES.ZIP

    Please, submitt the paper (either short or full) by April 30, 2004 to

    ksco2004@labe.felk.cvut.cz

    OTHER ASPECTS OF INTEREST

    Santiago de Cuba, located at some 900 kms from Havana, is Cuba's second
    largest city. Its economic, cultural and social importance in Cuban history
    is unquestionable. Santiago is also the capital of the province with the
    same name. Surrounded by the green mountains of the Sierra Maestra range
    and the Caribbean Sea, Santiago is unique in its geography and beautiful
    landscape. Its surroundings make the city one of the most important tourist
    attractions on the entire island. The Organizing Committee, in coordination
    with the city's tourist agencies will offer visiting delegates a host of
    options allowing participants to enjoy the city's beauty and charm.
