> INTRODUCTION:
>
> By the time the first symposium "From Agent Theory to Agent
> Implementation" was held in Apri Tue 6 Nov 2001 10:45:15 +0700
1998, agent-based technology had
> already made a fast inroad from highly specialised workshops to
> mainstream textbooks. Rapid progress has continued to date, resulting
> in an ever expanding range of underpinning theories, architectural
> models, engineering methods, implementation frameworks, and tools.
>
> Even so, there remain many issues to be investigated and clarified
> concerning the relations between theoretical models of agents and
> multiagent systems on the one hand, and the deployment of
> implementations based on these models and architectures in real-world
> applications on the other, including perspectives on the supporting
> infrastructure and middleware.
>
> The main objective of this symposium is to foster the exchange of
> ideas and experience among researchers and practitioners working on
> theoretical and application-oriented issues of agent technology,
> covering both the micro and macro aspects of agent design and the
> transition from drawing boards and partly idealised models, over
> modeling tools and frameworks, to deployment, configuration and
> maintenance of implementations.
>
> Of particular relevance to the symposium is work that reports insights
> gathered and lessons learnt when applying specific agent theories or
> architectures to application problems, and that discusses methods,
> methodologies, and other tools, that can help system designers to
> successfully accomplish the mapping between available agent technology
> on the one hand, and application problems on the other.
>
> Topics of interest therefore include:
>
> Conceptual and theoretical foundations
> Agent languages and architectures
> Learning and adaptability
> Communication, coordination and collaboration
> Social issues in agent societies
> Safety, security, and responsibility
> Single vs. multi-agent systems
> Agents vs. Middleware (e.g. CORBA, Grid Computing, ...)
> Development and engineering methodologies
> User interfaces and usability
> Testbeds and evaluations
> Applications

> SUBMISSION DETAILS:

> For details on how to prepare the draft final paper, see the
> guidelines for the main EMCSR conference published on the EMCSR web
> server (<URL:http://www.ai.univie.ac.at/emcsr/>). Draft Final Papers
> must not exceed 10 single-spaced A4 pages (maximum 43 lines, max. line
> length 160 mm, 12 point), in English. They have to contain the final
> text to be submitted, including graphs and pictures. However, these
> need not be of reproducible quality. They must carry the title,
> author(s) name(s), and affiliation (including. e-mail address, if
possible)
> in this order, and must include an abstract.
>
> Please notice that for this particular symposium submission in
> ELECTRONIC FORMAT is STRONGLY PREFERRED, either via e-mail as
> attachment, or by anonymous FTP upload WITH JOINT NOTIFICATION by
> e-mail; otherwise send FOUR hard copies of the draft final paper.
