Knowledge Systems for Coalition Operations
2009
31st March and 1st April 2009
Chilworth Manor,
Southampton, UK
The KSCO events bring practitioners and key
decision makers in coalition operation management together with
researchers from areas of knowledge representation and reasoning,
planning and multi-agent systems in order to exchange experience and
ideas, share inspiration and suggest novel concepts. Practitioners
benefit from meeting each other and from learning possibilities
of research achievements while researchers get inspiration from
each other and potential end users of their ideas.
Topics include:
- deployed systems, case studies
- 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
CONFERENCE INFORMATION
KSCO - Knowledge Systems For Coalition Operations is an international
working group exploring research in Knowledge Systems for Coalition
Operations. KSCO regularly 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 successful events in Edinburgh, UK, Toulouse, France,
Prague, Czech Republic, and Waltham, MA, USA, the next
KSCO event is to be held in Southampton, UK.
