PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS

Workshop on Agent Based Computing V  (ABC'08)
http://www.abc.imcsit.org
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.

The special session 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 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

Papers Submission

* Authors should submit draft papers (as Postscript, PDF of MSWord
   file).
* The total length of a paper should not exceed 10 pages (LNCS style).
   LNCS style templates are available at the workshop site.
* Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific
   merit and relevance to the workshop.
* Accepted and presented papers will be included in the Conference
   Proceedings and published on a CD (ISSN 1896-7094).
* Authors of selected papers accepted and presented during the ABC V
   Workshops will be invited to submit extended versions of their
   contributions to a Special Issue of Multiagent and Grid Systems - An
   International Journal.
