=======================================================================

In the last two decades, we have seen a significant increase of interest 
in agent-oriented technology. It is crucial that both academics and 
industrialists have access to a forum at which current agent-based 
research and application are presented and discussed. Following the 
tradition of past EUMAS editions (Oxford 2003, Barcelona 2004, Brussels 
2005, Lisbon 2006), the aim of this fifth European Workshop on 
Multi-Agent Systems is to encourage and support activity in the research 
and development of multi-agent systems. This workshop is a European 
forum, aimed at dissemination of the most important work being done in 
Europe currently.

SUBMISSIONS
Submission of papers describing relevant preliminary or completed work 
are invited. EUMAS’07 welcomes also papers that are under submission or 
already presented at a workshop, or are an improvement of a published 
proceedings or journal paper. Submissions should be formatted using 
Springer LNCS style (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) and 
have a maximum of 15 pages. The authors can submit their abstracts and 
papers through the following webpage:

http://www.dur.ac.uk/pcchair.eumas2007/myreview/.

The workshop has no formal proceedings; it is intended primarily as a 
forum for interaction and discussion. The workshop will provide an 
electronic proceedings on CD containing original papers and abstracts of 
previously published papers. Delegates who want a hard copy can indicate 
this on the registration form and pay separately for it. We intend to 
invite a selection of the unpublished submissions to be included in 
relevant journal special issues. See the conference web page for details.
