         ESAS: The 8th IEEE International Workshop on


               Engineering Semantic Agents


               Intelligence & Robotics

                     ESAS 2013

 
        Kyoto, Japan, July 22 – July 26, 2013

           (in conjunction with COMPSAC 2013)

      (http://compsac.cs.iastate.edu/esas2013.php)

..........................................................


We envisage a strong undercurrent of intelligent software 
agents, mobile agents, and MAS running through this workshop; 
side by side with the use of semantic technologies, there are 
several foci of interest:

• Software Agents, Mobile Agents, and MAS, 

• Agent, MAS and Semantic Web Technologies, 

• Ontologies for Agents and MAS,

• Platforms for semantic agent and MAS implementation,

• Semantic Intelligence and Semantic Robotics,

• Other subjects of relevance in semantic technologies, 
semantic software agents, mobile agents, agent-based and 
multi-agent systems
