WESAAC 2010 – 4th School-Workshop of Agent Systems, their Environments and 
Applications

Rio Grande, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
April 19-22, 2010

http://www.ncc.furg.br/wesaac2010

The WESAAC 2010, in its fourtth edition, will be held in Rio Grande, RS, 
Brazil, at the Federal Univeristy of Rio Grande – FURG,
in April 19-22, 2010, locally organized by the Graduate Programme in 
Computational Modeling and supported by the Brazilian
Computer Society – SBC.

The main objective of WESAAC 2010 is to integrate researchers and all level 
students in the área of Agents and Agent Systems,
to promote the research activities of the several Brazilian Research Groups, 
allowing for knowledge exchanges.

For that, the event is composed by a combination of Talks and Practical 
Tutorials (the “school” part) by experts, and presentations
 of Full Papers and Extended Abstracts (the “workshop” part).

Extended versions of the 3 best papers presented at WESAAC 2010, selected by 
the Program Committee, will be published at
RITA – Revista de Informática Teórica e Aplicada 
(http://www.inf.ufrgs.br/~revista/).

Invited Speakers:

* Ana Bazzan (UFRGS):  “Multiagent Systems: where AI becomes more difficult”

* Andre Campos (UFRN): “Emotions and Personalities in Agentes”

* Jaime Sichman (USP): “Multiagent Systems: a perspective of 30 years of 
Research”

* Patrícia Tedesco (UFPE): “Implementing Teams of Synthetic Actors in
