AIMS & SCOPE:

The sequel to successful editions since 2000, ESAW 07 remains committed to
the use of the notion of multi-agent system 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 and applications, it also welcomes theoretical, philosophical,
and empirical contributions, provided that they clearly document their
connection to the core applied issues. Prospective papers about new
paradigms, theories, models are also appreciated.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- analysis, design, development and verification of agent societies
- open, large-scale multi-agent systems
- models of complex distributed systems with agents and societies
- interaction-coordination patterns in agent societies
- inter-disciplinary approaches for agent societies engineering
- engineering of social intelligence in multi-agent systems
- self-organisation and self regulation in agent societies
- autonomy and self-design of agent societies in an environment
- security, trust and norms in agent societies
- middleware infrastructures for agent societies
- tools and models for agent societies management
- studies of information ecosystems
- experiences in building and maintaining large agent societies
- evolution of institutions in agent societies
- insightful analyses of negative results
