PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS
Second International Conference on
AUTONOMOUS AGENTS (Agents '98)
Minneapolis/St. Paul, May 10-13, 1998
Following the overwhelming interest in the First International
Conference on Autonomous Agents ( Agents '97 ), there
will be a Second International Conference on Autonomous Agents (Agents
'98). The conference will bring together researchers interested in
modeling and building autonomous agents. Agents are computational
systems that inhabit dynamic, unpredictable environments.
The conference welcomes submissions of original, high quality papers
and videos with summaries concerning autonomous agents in a variety of
embodiments and playing a variety of roles in their environments. As
in Agents '97, the conference will emphasize "complete" agents that
have actually been implemented or are currently under
construction. Evaluation of agents and multi-agent systems will be a
necessary component of each submission. Agents '98 will de-emphasize
theory and focused treatments of isolated component capabilities
(e.g., planning, pattern recognition, diagnosis, learning).
The conference will include presentations of papers and videos, panels
and exhibits. Accepted papers and videos from different application
areas will appear in shared sessions to facilitate an appreciation of
application-independent issues in the design and implementation of
autonomous agents. More generally, the conference will strive towards
an informal atmosphere with plenty of time for presentations,
questions, and discussions. Accepted papers and video summaries will
be published in a Conference Proceedings. A limited number of student
scholarships will be available.
The conference will include tutorials and workshops that will take place
May 9, 1998.
