The track is dedicated to fostering commercial, or real world, impact for agent technologies. The track will feature presentations, panels, invited talks, and demonstrations from industrial and academia participants, giving them an opportunity to showcase the state of the art in agent technology. Accepted papers of the AAMAS Industry and Applications Track will be included in the same electrical media (e.g. USB memory) with the main track papers. Hard copies of the proceedings are also available with fee upon request. The Industrial and Applications Track aims to foster mutually beneficial links between those engaged in foundational scientific research and those working to make autonomous agents and multi-agent systems a commercial reality.
