Call for Papers
---------------
Main achievements of software agent technology include frameworks and
platforms based on standardized languages and  architectures for agent
systems development. Implemented agent systems are claimed to have
attractive features like adaptivity, intelligence, autonomy and mobility.
Modern e-business systems pose difficult problems concerning costs
reduction, profitability and efficiency improvement, interoperability and
decision-making thus making them a fertile and rich real-world environment
for the application and experimentation of software agents. Difficult
research challenges involve the adaptation of relevant agent theories,
technologies and tools to the tight requirements of the new generation
e-business systems.

List of workshop topics covers the following aspects of (multi-)agent
systems research:
  -  Concepts, methodologies, models and architectures
  -  Technologies, frameworks, benchmarking and performances
  -  Languages and algorithms
  -  Applications and experiences
connected to relevant areas of modern e-business:
  -  Trading and e-commerce
  -  Manufacturing and logistics
  -  Tourism and travel
  -  Negotiation and contracting
  -  Supply chain management and cross-enterprise interoperability
  -  Business process management and re-engineering
  -  Marketing and customer relations management
  -  Content provision, digital rights management and intellectual property
  -  Trust, reputation and security

Papers acceptance will be judged based on their relevance to the workshop
themes, clarity of presentation, originality and accuracy of results and
proposed solutions.
