Press 2006 388 pages $202.00 Paperback TK5105 This proceedings volume contains 56 papers that were presented at the June 2006 IEEE Workshop on Distributed Intelligent Systems. It is divided into three main sections: collective robotics robotics, science and technology of general purpose, programmable machine systems. Contrary to the popular fiction image of robots as ambulatory machines of human appearance capable of performing almost any task, most robotic systems are anchored to fixed positions and human/robot interaction; industry applications of distributed and agent-based systems; and knowledge systems for coalition operations. Papers from two special sessions dealing with role-based collaboration Role-Based Collaboration (RBC) represents an emerging research area [4]. RBC is an approach that can be used to integrate the theory of roles into Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) systems and other computer-based systems. and autonomic autonomic /au·to·nom·ic/ (aw?to-nom´ik) not subject to voluntary control.
