Call for Papers

Workshop on Agent Based Computing V  (ABC'08)
Wisla, Poland, October 20-22, 2008

Organized within the framework of the International Multiconference on
Computer Science and Information Systems and co-located with the XXIV
Autumn Meeting of the Polish Information Processing Society.

Agent-based computing has been hailed as the next significant
breakthrough in software development, with the potential to affect many
aspects of computer science, from artificial intelligence to the
technologies and models of distributed computation. Agent-based systems
are capable of autonomous action in open, dynamically-changing
environments. Agents are currently being applied in domains as diverse
as business information systems, computer games and interactive cinema,
information retrieval and filtering, user interface design and
industrial process control. The aim of the ABC '08 is to bring together
researchers and developers from industry and academia in order to report
on the latest scientific and technical advances, discuss and debate the
major issues, and showcase the latest systems.

ABC Workshop welcomes submissions of original papers concerning all
aspects of software agents. Submissions involving both implementation
and theoretical issues are encouraged.

Topics include but are not limited to:

     * Agent architectures
     * Agent-oriented software engineering
     * Agent-based simulations
     * Agent benchmarking and performances
     * Agent communication, coordination and cooperation
     * Agent languages
     * Agent learning and planning
     * Agent mobility
     * Agent modeling, calculi, and logics
     * Agent security
     * Agents and Service Oriented Computing
     * Agents in the Semantic Web
     * Applications and Experiences
     * Simulating and verifying agent systems
     * Multiagent Systems Product Lines
     * Multi-Agent Systems in Applications
           o Disaster Management
           o E-commerce
           o Workflow management and business processes
           o Other areas
