5th International Workshop on Software Engineering for Large-Scale Multi-Agent Systems
Shanghai, China, 22/05/2006–23/05/2006
The International Workshop on Software Engineering for Large-scale Multi-Agent Systems (SELMAS) is a software engineering workshop, providing a forum for researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences and concerns in the field of software engineering for agent-based systems.
SELMAS 2006 main theme is "Building Dependable Multi-Agent Systems". Dependability of a computing system is its ability to deliver service that can be justifiably trusted. Making large-scale agent systems maximally dependable is still an open issue.
topics of interest
The workshop is intended to cover a wide range of topics of software engineering for large-scale multi-agent systems, from theoretical foundations to empirical studies, including the following (but not limited to):
Aspect-oriented techniques to MAS development • Comparative studies between the agent-oriented and other paradigms • Coordination architectures, infrastructures, and tools • Dependable agent systems • Design patterns, design principles, and architectural styles • Domain-specific languages • Exception handling and fault-tolerance techniques • Experiments and case studies • Formal methods for MAS • Frameworks and software architectures • Governance for MAS • Methodologies for agent-oriented analysis and design • Mobility and security issues • Modeling languages • Ontologies for MAS • Pitfalls and learned lessons in the construction of large MAS • Reflective software architectures • Requirements engineering • Software development environments • Software engineering techniques for resource-bounded MAS • Software reliability engineering • Testing and metrics • Trustability issues • Verification and validation techniques
