The forth Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems Technology and Semantics (MASTS 2013) will bring together researchers and practioners who are working on or are interested in exploring novel approaches to multi-agent systems development and the use of multi-agent systems technology in building innovative applications.
The goal of the workshop is to present and discuss ideas and developments related to two converging areas of research and applications, namely multi-agent systems and semantic technology. The workshop aims to focus on issues such as: the semantic role of agents in building complex distributed applications, the collective and cognitive dimensions of the multi-agent systems paradigm, the use of agents in the development and deployment of semantic web services, the utilization of intelligent agents and semantics in the development of ambient intelligence applications. Debates are expected on directions and possibilities of future research in the domain.
MASTS 2013 will be held in conjunction with the 7th International Symposium on Intelligent Distributed Computing (IDC'2013) in Prague, Czech Republic, September 4-6, 2013,
