AIMS & SCOPE
The sequel to successful editions since 2000, ESAW'06 remains committed
to the use of the notion of multi-agent systems as seed for animated,
constructive, and highly inter-disciplinary discussions about technologies,
methodologies, and tools for the engineering of complex distributed
applications. While the workshop places an emphasis on practical engineering
issues and applications, it also welcomes theoretical, philosophical, and
empirical contributions, provided that they clearly document their connection
to the core applied issues. Prospective papers about new paradigms, theories,
models are also appreciated.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
TOPICS
Topics of interest include:
- theory and practice of agent societies as complex systems
- analysis, design, development and verification of agent societies
- engineering open & large-scale agent societies
- interaction and coordination patterns in agent societies
- agent communication in agent societies
- the role of the environment in MAS modelling & engineering
- inter-disciplinary approaches for agent societies engineering
- organisation models and technology for agent societies
- self-organisation and self regulation in agent societies
- trust in agent societies
- Institutions for agent societies
- engineering of social intelligence in multi-agent systems
- cooperative working environments for agents in agent societies
- programming languages for agent societies
- software architectures for agent societies
- middleware and infrastructures for agent societies
- model-driven architectures for agent societies
- tools and models for agent societies management
- online engineering of agent societies
- agent societies for engineering Web service & semantic Web ecosystems
- virtual enterprises and organisation as agent societies
- agent societies for autonomic computing
- modelling and engineering simulations as agent societies
- agent societies and e-Government scenarios
