about the AAMAS conference
Agents are one of the most prominent and attractive
technologies in computer science at the beginning of
the new millennium. The technologies, methods, and theories
of agents and multiagent systems are currently contributing
to many diverse domains such as information retrieval,
user interfaces, electronic commerce, robotics, computer
mediated collaboration, computer games, education and
training, ubiquitous computing, and social simulation.
They not only are a very promising technology, but are
also emerging as a new way of thinking, a conceptual
paradigm for analyzing problems and for designing systems,
for dealing with complexity, distribution, and interactivity,
while providing a new perspective on computing and intelligence.
The AAMAS conferences aim to bring together the
world's researchers active in this important, vibrant,
and rapidly growing field.
The
AAMAS
conference series was initiated in 2002 as a
merger of
three highly successful related events:
- AGENTS
(International Conference on Autonomous Agents)
- ICMAS
(International Conference on Multi-Agent Systems),
and
- ATAL
(International Workshop on Agent Theories, Architectures,
and Languages)
The aim of the joint conference is to provide a single,
high-profile, internationally renowned forum for research
in the theory and practice of autonomous agents and
multiagent systems.
The first three AAMAS conferences (AAMAS-02, Bologna, Italy,
AAMAS-03, Melbourne, Australia
and AAMAS-04, New York, USA) are significant
events in the academic history of agent systems. We
expect AAMAS-05 to build on these successes and
stand out as a key date on the international computing
research calendar.
