ESAW'01 Relevant Topics

ESAW'01 is committed to the use of the notion of multi-agent systems as seed for animated constructive discussions of high quality about technologies, methodologies, and models for the engineering of complex distributed applications. Focussing on social aspects of MAS, the workshop places an emphasis on technology and methodology issues, while also welcoming theoretical and empirical contributions with well-documented connections to these core subjects.

Topics of interest therefore include:

• coordination models and technologies for engineering of agent societies
• analysis, design, development and verification of agent societies
• engineering social intelligence and emergent behaviours in MAS
• application experiences in building agent societies
• centralised vs. decentralised social control
• interaction-coordination patterns in agent societies
• security and mobility issues in agent societies
• enabling infrastructures for agent societies
• visibility and individuality of agents
• methodologies, tools and artifacts for engineering agent societies
• design vs. self-organisation
• insightful analyses of negative results
