Introduction
This sixth edition continues the tradition of the
AOSE Technical Forum Group (TFG) started back in 2004. The scope of
this Technical Forum (TF) is to work on agent-oriented software
engineering (AOSE) main challenges and its specific aim is renewing and
strengthening the cohesion of the AOSE community that participated in
the previous meetings. As a tangible result of these events, several
members of this TFG now share common research activities and projects
originated from the discussions they had during the meetings (or after
them).
The initial work plan for this full-day meeting mainly includes two
parts: (i) presentations and discussion about research topics proposed
by TFG supporters, and (ii) the discussion and finalization of a
proposal to the FIPA board for the standardization of the description
of design processes and their composing fragments.
The topics of interest for presentations and discussions are (but are not limited to):
MAS-SPL: Multi-agent systems and software product lines;
Agent modelling languages;
Methodologies for agent-oriented analysis and design;
Testing techniques for Multi-agent systems;
Patterns, aspects and re-use approaches for agent-oriented software;
Methodology evaluation;
Model-driven architecture (MDA) for MAS;
Refinement and synthesis techniques for agent-based specifications;
Verification and validation techniques for agent-based systems;
Software development environments and CASE tools for AOSE;
Formal methods for agent-oriented systems, including specification and verification logics;
Model checking for agent-oriented systems;
Engineering large-scale agent systems;
Experiences and real applications with agents;
Market and other economic models in agent systems engineering;
Practical coordination and cooperation frameworks for agent systems;
Standardisations for AOSE;
Trends in software engineering and AOSE (method engineering, model driven engineering, etc.)

PRELIMINARY PROGRAM
The meeting will be a full-day meeting to be held on December, 17th.
It will consist of two sessions: a paper/talk session and a discussion
session about the FIPA proposal. In the first one a small number of
short presentations will be given and open and moderated discussions
will follow. The goal of these talks will not only consist in the
presentation of research novelties but rather in contributions aiming
at collecting feedback from the community on an under-going work,
presenting collaboration opportunities to the community or achieving
consensus for a (potentially) shared activity. Position talks reporting
the authors point of view on a relevant AOSE-related research topic are
welcome as well.
In the second session a broad discussion about the FIPA proposal will
be held with the aim of completing it. Submission of the proposal
should follow a few days after the meeting if it will successfully
completed.
The short presentation speakers are still to be selected and will be announced through the AOSE TF web page.
Discussions about the program and the topics of the meeting will take
place in the AOSE mailing list. Contact event chairs for subscription
instructions.
CONTRIBUTIONS
Participants are STRONGLY encouraged to submit a paper thus allowing
other attendees to know, well before the meeting, the arguments that
will be discussed there.
We accept position papers, papers illustrating new researches in the
area as well as any other scientific relevant contribution (also
demonstration of prototypes) about the above listed topics and with the
above described aims. There will be no formal proceedings therefore
published papers are acceptable too (provided that no existing
copyright is infringed).
The format and length of such position papers are open.
Registration for AOSE TF is free. Unfortunately, there will be no
funding for attendants in this edition. We would like to invite all
those who are interested in participating with an off-line contribution
to submit a paper about the above-mentioned topics. Papers should be
sent to the event chairs listed below and they will be published on the
AOSE TFG web page.
The deadline for contributions related to talks to be held during the meeting is
***November 30th***
while contributions just for publication in the website could be sent
even after the event, perhaps to clarify an opinion issued during the
meeting.
Please contact event chairs if you need more time for your contribution or you have specific proposals/requests.
Contributions should be sent to:
