CKBS'94 is the successor to CKBS'90 which was held at Keele in October 1990, and in which both DAI and DDB researchers participated. CKBS'90 was considered by the attendees to be very successful and led to the formation of the International Special Interest Group CKBS-SIG, which is managed by the DAKE Centre at Keele.
An application domain that receives special attention in CKBS'94 is that of intelligent manufacturing systems (IMS), because of a growing need for a CKBS approach in many branches of this field, such as agent-based and flexible manufacturing, concurrent engineering design and knowledge and systems integration for manufacturing. It is hoped that this conference will provide a forum for the cross-fertilisation of ideas leading to better solutions of CKBS problems both within the domain of IMS and also within other application domains.
The conference is intended as a residential one with accommodation provided within the campus, so that the delegates have greater opportunities for inter-mixing and exchange of ideas. A distinctive feature of the CKBS conference series is the provision of a conducive atmosphere for discussions among the delegates, helping to produce new ideas. With this end in mind, each paper in the conference will be given 10 minutes of special discussion time following its presentation.

CONFERENCE TOPICS The conference has three components: Tutorial, Main Conference and Excursions, as described below: 2.1 Tutorial (afternoon of Tuesday, June 14) A half-day tutorial will be given by Dr. Michael N. Huhns (MCC, Austin, USA), a leading DAI researcher on Distributed Artificial Intelligence for Information Systems. This tutorial describes the current state of research in distributed artificial intelligence. It presents architectures, languages, and techniques for achieving coordinated behaviour among a decentralised group of intelligent computational agents, and describes successful applications of DAI in transaction scheduling, manufacturing automation and information retrieval. 2.2 Main Conference (Wednesday June 15 to Friday June 17) The main conference has three elements: Invited Papers Contributed Papers Posters and Demonstrations The invited papers are: A DAI Perspective on Cooperating Knowledge Based Systems by M. N. Huhns (MCC, Austin, USA) The ARCHON Project and its Applications by N. Jennings (Queen Mary and Westfield College, London, UK) The IMAGINE Project by H. Haugeneder (Siemens AG, Germany) It may be noted that ARCHON and IMAGINE are the two major CKBS projects funded by the CEC ESPRIT Programme. These presentations will be the first comprehensive research reports on these recently completed projects. All contributed papers have been selected from the extended abstracts submitted to the conference. There about 36 such contributed papers, including 10 papers related to Intelligent Manufacturing Systems, as listed in Appendix A. The authors are expected to submit full papers before the conference. These, along with the invited papers, will be collected as draft proceedings to be circulated among the delegates at the conference. Following the conference, the authors will submit their revised full-papers (in the light of discussions at the conference) for a final review. The selected papers from this second review, along with the invited papers, will then be published by the DAKE Centre as the final proceedings. A copy of the final proceedings will be mailed to each delegate in due course. In addition to the contributed papers, a number of posters will also be displayed on new ideas in CKBS, as listed in Appendix B. Some demonstrators may also be presented. 2.3 Excursions (afternoon of Thursday June 16) Excursions are an important part of this conference, as these enable the delegates to get to know each other better. These excursions are popular, and hence an early booking is strongly recommended to avoid disappointment as the number of places is limited. If we cannot book a place for you, we shall naturally refund your payment. This year we are organising two alternative events to choose from: (i) a visit to Stratford-upon-Avon, which was also offered in CKBS'90 and (ii) a visit to Chatsworth House which is new. Stratford-upon-Avon By coach to Stratford (about 1 and 1/2 hours each way), returning to Keele around midnight. The price includes a ticket for an evening performance of a Shakespeare play, Henry V, in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. We shall try to give you a transcript of the play beforehand, so that you can follow the performance better. The afternoon and early evening are free to wander around this historic birthplace of William Shakespeare and take dinner (not included in the price) as you like in Stratford before the performance, which starts at about 7:30 pm. In CKBS'90, this excursion was considered a high point by the delegates, who also found the coach journey enjoyable. Please note that the Royal Shakespeare Theatre is usually booked long in advance, and therefore we advise you ensure an early return of the registration form. In CKBS`90 many delegates applied too late for this memorable excursion. Chatsworth House By coach to Chatsworth House (about 1 and 1/2 hours in each direction). This classical mansion, which was originally built in 1555 and later altered by the first Duke of Devonshire in 1709, is one of the finest stately homes in England. The splendid garden was replanted in the 19th century, when the Emperor fountain was also added. The House contains a world-renowned collection of paintings, sculpture, manuscripts, silver, porcelain, curiosities and fine furniture. This is a popular tourist attraction of Britain. You will tour the mansion, and later the great garden, at a leisurely pace following well-laid out directions. You will be there probably for about 3 and 1/2 hours, returning to Keele at around 8:30 pm, just in time for you to sample some student fares at the Keele Campus or gentiles' fares at the restaurants in town (dinner is not included in the price). A restaurant list will be supplied. Other Possibilities If you are not interested in these excursions then you can while away the afternoon by wandering around Keele campus (quite pleasant), trying a round of golf (opposite the campus entrance), playing ten-pin bowling (5 miles from campus) or by visiting Chester - an old Roman town which is an hour by bus from the campus. The world famous Wedgewood pottery factory (6 miles from the campus) can also be visited. 3. GENERAL INFORMATION 3.1 Conference Location The University of Keele is small but distinguished for its interdisciplinary philosophy in education. Geographically, Keele is a University village on the outskirts of Newcastle-under-Lyme, half-way between Birmingham and Manchester. The nearest airport is Manchester (35 miles), London Heathrow airport is some 150 miles away. Keele is situated between junctions 15 and 16 of the M6 motorway. The nearest railway station is Stoke-on-Trent (5 miles), which can be reached from London Euston in under 2 hours and from Manchester in 40 minutes. Joining instructions will include further details. The Data and Knowledge Engineering (DAKE) Centre is an interdisciplinary research centre of the University operating within the Computer Science Department. The Centre has major projects in advanced data/knowledge bases, distributed databases and Cooperating Knowledge Based Systems (CKBS). The Centre is recognised as a centre of excellence by the CEC ESPRIT programme, and is also funded by the DTI (Department of Trade and Industry in the UK) to act as a focus in the CKBS area for British academia and industry. As mentioned earlier, following a decision taken at CKBS'90, the DAKE Centre manages an International Special Interest Group on CKBS, the UK component of this being funded by the DTI. The CKBS-SIG(UK) holds regular seminars and annual workshops whose proceedings have been published by the DAKE Centre.

This volume contains 15 papers, selected from some 30 papers presented at the second annual workshop of the CKBS-SIG, held at Keele on September 8-10, 1993. These papers were initially selected on the basis of extended abstracts for presentation at the workshop. Following the workshop, the authors revised their papers in the light of comments received, and these revised full papers were later reviewed and selected by the programme committee for publication. We followed this process of double selection for better quality control, which also explains the time delay between the workshop and this publication.
It may be observed that the final proceedings of our first workshop (CKBS-SIG WS '92), had only seven papers as against 15 in the current proceedings. This increase represents a growing interest of the European research community in this area, and has also motivated us to hold our second international working conference (CKBS'94) in June this year, as the successor to CKBS'90.
Now returning to this publication, we have grouped the papers, somewhat arbitarily into six sections, for the convenience of catagorisation. Likewise, the order in which papers appear in each section reflects the convenience of summarising them, rather than anything else.
Section 1: Cooperation Architecture (3 papers) Paper 1: Multiple Cooperating Robots -- Combining Planning and Behaviours Ruth Aylett et al Paper 2: A Hybrid Architecture for Multi-Agent Systems Afsaneh Haddadi Paper 3: Using an Intelligent Agent to Mediate Multibase Information Access Werner Behrendt et al In paper 1, R. Aylett et al presents an architecture in which cooperation emerges from the synthesis of robot behaviours in a number of hierarchical interaction levels. In paper 2, A. Haddadi introduces a hybrid architecture, which incorporates both reactive and reflective behaviours of agents. The third paper by W. Behrendt et al focusses on a slightly different area -- the world of heterogeneous distributed databases -- and presents a cooperative framework to resolve the semantic disparity among these knowledge servers. Section 2: Design strategies (3 papers) Paper 1: Methods used to Implement an Integrated Distributed Scheduler Q. Y. Luo et al Paper 2: Design and Implementation of ARCHON's Coordination Module Nick R. Jennings et al Paper 3: A Multi-Agent Approach to Cooperation in Urban Traffic Hans Haugeneder et al The first paper by Q. Luo et al discusses and compares a number of approaches that can be used to design a distributed scheduler, while in the second paper, N. Jennings et al describes the design and implementation of the central coordination module in the CEC ARCHON project. The third paper by H. Haugeneder et al, based on the CEC IMAGINE project, presents the design of a testbed for a CKBS approach to urban traffic management. Section 3: Multi-agent Beliefs (3 papers) Paper 1: Representing Belief in Multi-Agent Systems via Terminological Logics Armin Laux Paper 2: Belief as Pragmatic Information -- A New Formal Model Daniel Mack Paper 3: An ATMS-Based Belief Model for Dialogue Simulation Jasper A. Taylor In paper 1, A. Laux presents a logic-based formalism to describe the beliefs and the environments of agents, including false beliefs and the treatment of such beliefs. In paper 2, D. Mack is concerned with the semantics of beliefs in different possible worlds, and provides a logic-based module for handling semantics. J. Taylor in paper 3 describes a logic-based belief and reasoning model for the simulation of simple task-oriented dialogues. Section 4: Multi-agent Learning (2 papers) Paper 1: A Heterogeneous Multi-Agent Learning System Peter Edwards et al Paper 2: An Arbitration Protocol for Inter-Agent Learning Tim J. Grant et al P. Edwards et al in paper 1 describe a system that provides a flexible framework for multi-agent learning, supported by a simple message transfer protcol, while T. Grant et al in paper 2 discusses an arbitration protocol for multi-agent learning in action-oriented communications. Section 5: Network Management (2 papers) Paper 1: Cooperating Intelligent Agents for Service Management in Communications Networks Marius Busuioc et al Paper 2: Multi Agent Design Issues in Congestion Management Martyn Fletcher et al In paper 1, Busuioc et al describe a CKBS approch to service management in telecommunications networks within a resilient distributed environment, supporting a graceful degration of performance. In paper 2, M. Fletcher et al propose a multi-agent model to handle traffic congestion in networks for both short term fluctuating and long-term predictable overloads. Section 6: Testbed Development (2 papers) Paper 1: Using DAI Software Testbeds Jim Doran Paper 2: MYWORLD -- An Agent-Oriented Testbed for Distributed AI Michael Wooldridge et al In paper 1, J. Doran discusses issues in the design of testbeds that involves the simulation of human organisations and proposes an adaptive modelling approach. In paper 2, M. Wooldridge et al describes a testbed he has built using Y. Shoham's notions of Agent Oriented Programming. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Order Form For CKBS-SIG Proceedings 1993 ---------------------------------------- The 1993 Proceedings of the Special Interest Group on Cooperating Knowledge Based Systems (CKBS-SIG) are now available. Published in soft-back book form (ISBN: 0 952 1789 1 5) from the DAKE Centre at the University of Keele, UK. The Special Interest Group (SIG) on Cooperating Knowledge Based Systems (CKBS) held a three-day workshop in Setember 1993, in which 30 papers - selected from a large number of extended abstracts from the UK, Germany and France - were presented. Following the workshop, the authors improved their papers in the light of the comments received at the workshop and resubmitted them for a review on the new full-version. This final review led to the selection of 15 best papers, as described in the appendix, for publication in the final proceedings which are edited by Prof. S. M. Deen. Copies of the doubly-selected published proceedings (over 280 pages), priced at 17 pounds per copy, can be ordered from the DAKE Centre (address below). Please add post and package 2 pounds in the UK and Europe and 5 pounds outside Europe. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: ......................................................................
