Agents and Multi-agent Systems – Technologies & Applications 2014 - 2nd Call for Papers

[KES AMSTA 2014 Conference]

Agents and Multi-agent Systems – Technologies & Applications 2014 - 2nd Call for Papers
8th International KES Conference on Agents and Multi-agent Systems – Technologies &
Applications
(AMSTA-14)
Chania - Crete,  Greece 18 - 20 June 2014
http://amsta-14.kesinternational.org/
-------------------------------------------

AMSTA-14 is an international scientific conference for research in the field of
agent and multi-agent systems. The aim of the conference is to provide an internationally
respected forum for scientific research in the technologies and applications of agent and
multi-agent systems.

Agents and multi-agent systems are related to a modern software paradigm which has
long been recognized as a promising technology for constructing autonomous, complex
and intelligent systems. This conference will provide an excellent opportunity for researchers
to discuss modern approaches and techniques for agent and multi-agent systems and their
applications. The conference will be co-located under the KES Smart Digital Futures topic
with our other Intelligent Systems conferences: IIMSS and IDT along with the new STET
(Smart Technology in Education) conference. Please see the KES International website for
more details here: http://www.kesinternational.org/
