Chance Discovery and Social Network
[Scope]
Chance discovery is to discover events/situations significant for decision making. So far, prevalent tools for chance discovery has been visualizing social networks to show "islands and bridges" in the living environment of human. As a result, the methods of chance discovery achieved meaningful successes in marketing, politics, medical science, and the designs of products and systems since the first workshop in 2000 on chance discovery.
These lessons encourage us to expect the hundreds of methods for visualizing social networks presented in the decade to work as method for chance discovery. In this special session under IEA/AIE, we welcome paper submissions on existing/novel methods to visualizing social networks, and discuss how these visualizations can be applied to chance discoveries in the real decision of human. Any contributions based on the idea of social networks are highly welcome, as far as the papers and presentations are dedicated to chance discovery in the definition above.

E-Commerce
[Scope]
The increase of Electronic Market research activities can be observed in a variety of the fields. The aim of this special session is to encourage activities in this field, and to bring together researchers with an interest in Electronic Markets. Unlike conventional conferences, this special session will mainly discuss and explore scientific and practical problems as raised by the participants. The focus of this special session will be on computer science, game theory, auction theory, artificial intelligence, multi- agent systems, WWW, semantic web, etc. In particular, the special session will bring together researchers from Computer Science and Economics. The special session is interdisciplinary in nature, and will address the following topics:
E-Commerce architecture, E-procurement and auctions, Mechanism design, Game theoretic analyses in e-commerce, Intelligent e-commerce system & agents, P2P & its application on e-commerce, Real-time Internet technologies, Scheduling protocols in e-commerce, Security & trust issues in e-commerce, WWW and e-commerce, Web services in e- commerce, Semantic Web and e-commerce, Strategy-proof and Incentive Compatible Mechanisms, Efficient mechanisms for trading, Coordination Mechanisms, Robust Negotiation Mechanisms, Computational mechanism design, Economic and game theoretic design and analysis, Two-sided matching, etc.These issues are being explored by researchers from different communities in Electronic Markets. This special session will bring together researchers from these communities to learn about each other's approaches, form long-term collaborations, and cross- fertilize the different areas to accelerate progress towards scaling up to larger and more realistic applications.

Fuzzy System Applications
[Scope]
The goal of this special session is to bring together researchers interesting in applications of fuzzy systems. Researchers from these areas are encouraged to submit proposals to present their work describing fuzzy systems applied to any domain. Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of their innovation, relevance, scientific contribution, presentation, and usability. Examples of covered topics are:
- Applications of fuzzy reasoning
- Applications of fuzzy data mining
- Applications fuzzy risk analysis
- Applications of fuzzy forecasting
- Applications of fuzzy expert systems
- Applications of fuzzy neural networks
- Other applications of fuzzy systems

Real World Interaction
[Scope]
In the real world where we live, knowledge is being created and
applied at every moment. The goal of this special session is to bring
together practical techniques and their applications for acquiring and
applying knowledge in the real world environment. In addition to work
on intelligent systems for helping people interact with each other in
the real world environment, such as conversational agents or smart
sensor rooms, we would like to solicit papers on novel techniques for
measuring and analyzing real world interactions by using multi-media
sensing, bioinstrumentation or brain activity measurement.
Topics of interest include, but not limited to:
- modeling real world interactions
- measuring real world interactions
- analyzing real world interactions
- knowledge acquisition and application in the real world interaction
- conversational agents in the real world
- smart sensor rooms
- application of real world interaction.
