3rd International Symposium “From Agent Theory to Theory Implementation” @ EMCSR 2002
Vienna, Austria, 02/04/2002–05/04/2002
By the time the first symposium "From Agent Theory to Agent Implementation" was held in April 1998, agent-based technology had already made a fast inroad from highly specialised workshops to mainstream textbooks. Rapid progress has continued to date, resulting in an ever expanding range of underpinning theories, architectural models, engineering methods, implementation frameworks, and tools.
Even so, there remain many issues to be investigated and clarified concerning the relations between theoretical models of agents and multiagent systems on the one hand, and the deployment of implementations based on these models and architectures in real-world applications on the other, including perspectives on the supporting infrastructure and middleware.
The main objective of this symposium is to foster the exchange of ideas and experience among researchers and practitioners working on theoretical and application-oriented issues of agent technology, covering both the micro and macro aspects of agent design and the transition from drawing boards and idealised models over modeling tools and frameworks to actual deployment, configuration and maintenance.
Of particular relevance to the symposium is work that provides insights on experiences and lessons learnt when applying specific agent theories or architectures to application problems, and that discusses methods, methodologies, and other tools that can help system designers to successfully accomplish the mapping between available agent technology on the one hand, and application problems on the other.
