(Multi-)Agent Systems in E-Business: Concepts, Technologies and Applications - MASeB’2006
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Workshop at IAT'2006 conference
December 18-22, 2006, Hong Kong
http://software.ucv.ro/~badica_costin/maseb2006/
Call for Papers
---------------
Agents and multi-agent systems are an emergent technology that is expected to have a significant impact in
realizing the vision of a global and informational rich services network to support dynamic discovery and
interaction of digital enterprises. Moreover, the agent paradigm is expected to give an impetus to all
e-business areas including e-commerce, logistics, marketing, manufacturing, recommender systems, tourism,
negotiation, a.o. Significant work has already been done for more than a decade since agents have been
claimed to be the next breakthrough in software development, resulting in powerfull multi-agent platforms
and innovative e-business applications. However, it is currently appreciated that for various reasons agent
technologies have not achieved yet that level of maturity as required by advanced e-business applications.
Many difficult research challenges remain, and much work is needed to adapt relevant existing agent
technologies to the requirements of the new generation e-business systems.
The special session welcomes submissions of original papers concerning all aspects of agent and multi-agent
systems in e-business from concepts and theoretical developments to advanced agent technologies and
innovative applications. Topics include, but are not limited to, broadly understood:
- (Multi-)Agent concepts, models and architectures for e-business
- (Multi-)Agent technologies for e-business including frameworks, benchmarking and performances
- (Multi-)Agent languages and algorithms for e-business
- (Multi-)Agent applications and experiences in e-business
...
