Aims & Scope
The German conference on Multi-Agent System Technologies (MATES)
provides an interdisciplinary forum for researchers, users, and
developers, to present and discuss latest advances in research work, as
well as prototyped or fielded systems of intelligent agents and
multi-agent systems. The conference aims to promote theory and
application and covers the whole range of agent- and multi-agent
technologies.
For the seventh time, the German special interest group on Distributed
Artificial Intelligence organizes this international conference in
cooperation with the steering committee of MATES and thereby continues
this very successful track of events.
Building on the successful
predecessors from 2003 to 2008, MATES 2009 takes place from
September 9 to 11, 2009 in Hamburg, Germany.
MATES 2009 is co-sponsored by the GI/ITG special interest group on Communication and Distributed Systems (KuVS).
Colocated Events
MATES 2009 will be colocated with the Tenth International Workshop on Computational Logic in Multi-Agent Systems (CLIMA'09) and the Fifth
International Workshop on Modelling of Objects, Components, and Agents
(MOCA'09). The participants of MATES 2009 will also have full access to the
concurrently running program of these events.
Topics
Topics of interest of MATES 2009 include all aspects of
agent-oriented computing and agent technologies: basic and applied
research; reports on experiences with deployed real-world applications;
and detailed visions and challenges for mid- to long-term progress in
the field grounded in experience reports or analyses of the overall
technical, economical, and social context. MATES 2009 encourages
specifically submissions from an emerging area of interest with a
close connection to multi-agent systems: self-organizing systems and
autonomic computing.
An additional part of the technical program of MATES 2009 will be
live exhibitions and of development tools, prototype technologies,
showcases of practical applications and their man-agement, and business
cases of agent and multi-agent technology at the conference venue. Each
potential exhibitor is requested to submit an exhibition paper
describing the contribution that follows the submission details of
technical papers but does not exceed 10 pages. Exhibition papers will
be reviewed and published as part of the conference proceedings.
At the conference, a special track for exhibition paper presentations
will be held in addition to the live presentation of the practical
work at poster stands.
Proceedings
As in previous editions of MATES, the proceedings of MATES 2009
will be published in the Springer series of Lecture Notes on Artificial
Intelligence (LNAI).
Doctoral Mentoring Program
MATES 2009 will include a doctoral mentoring program, aimed at PhD
students in early as well as advanced stages of their research. This
program will provide an opportunity for students to interact closely
with established researchers in their fields, to receive feedback on
their work and to get advice on managing their careers.
It will:
match each student with an established researcher who will act as a mentor.
allow students an opportunity to present their work to a friendly audience of other students, as well as mentors.
provide students with contacts and networking opportunities.

Self-organizing systems
Agents and autonomic computing
Agent and multi-agent architectures
Agents and peer-to-peer computing
Agents and pervasive computing
Agent-based service discovery, matchmaking, brokering, and composition
Agent communication languages
Agents for e-business and e-government
Agent technologies in the context of service-oriented computing and architectures
Agent to non-agent interoperability
Agents in novel applications, e.g. bioinformatics and the semantic Web
Application of agent-technologies in industrial practice
Artificial social systems: Conventions, norms, institutions; trust and reputation
Autonomous robots and robot teams
Commitment, delegation, responsibility, and obligations in artificial and hybrid societies
Complex systems and their management
Coordination, negotiation, argumentation, and conflict resolution
Deployed agent-based business applications
Hybrid human and agent societies
User modeling and interface agents
Embodied conversational agents and believable agents
Mobile agents
Model-driven design of multi-agent systems
Multi-agent planning and scheduling
Multi-agent platforms and tools
