AIMS & SCOPE
The characteristics of software systems are undergoing dramatic
changes. We are moving rapidly into the age of ubiquitous information
services. Persistent computing systems are being embedded in everyday
objects. They interact in an autonomous way with each other to provide
us with increasingly complex services and functionalities that we can
access at any time from anywhere. As a consequence, not only do the
numbers of components of software systems increase; there is also a
strong qualitative impact. Software systems are increasingly made up
of autonomous, proactive, networked components. These interact with
each other in patterns and via mechanisms that can hardly be modeled
in terms of classical models of interaction or service-oriented
coordination. To some extent, future software systems will exhibit
characteristics making them more resemblant of natural systems and
societies than of mechanical systems and software architectures.
This situation poses exciting challenges to computer scientists and
software engineers. Already, software agents and multi-agent systems
are recognised as both useful abstractions and effective technologies
for the modeling and building of complex distributed applications.
However, little is done with regard to effective and methodic
development of complex software systems in terms of multi-agent
societies. An urgent need exists for novel approaches to software
modeling and software engineering that enable the successful
deployment of software systems made up of a massive number of
autonomous components, and that allow to control and predict their
behaviour. It is very likely that such innovations will exploit
lessons from a variety of different scientific disciplines, such as
sociology, economics, organisation science, modern thermodynamics, and
biology.
The sequel to successful editions in 2000 and 2001, ESAW'02 remains
committed to the use of the notion of multi- agent systems as seed for
animated, constructive, and highly inter-disciplinary discussions
about technologies, methodologies, and tools for the engineering of
complex distributed applications. While the workshop places an
emphasis on practical engineering issues, it also welcomes
theoretical, philosophical, and empirical contributions, provided that
they clearly document their connection to the core applied issues.
TOPICS OF INTEREST...
...therefore include (but are not limited to):
* analysis, design, development and verification of agent societies
* very large-scale multi-agent systems
* models of complex distributed systems with agents and societies
* coordination models & technologies for engineering of agent societies
* interaction-coordination patterns in agent societies
* inter-disciplinary approaches to engineering of agent societies
* engineering of social intelligence in multi-agent systems
* indirect programming of multi-agent systems
* centralised vs. decentralised social control
* self-organisation in agent societies
* security and trust in agent societies
* middleware infrastructures for agent societies
* studies of information ecosystems
* applications of analyses of entangled behaviour and bizarre systems
* experiences in building and maintaining large agent societies
* insightful analyses of negative results
