The 2nd int. workshop AGERE! held at the ACM SPLASH 2012 conference
will bring together researchers and practitioners interested in
programming using actors, agents and all computing paradigms promoting
a decentralized-control mindset in solving problems and developing
software - concurrent and distributed in particular.

This year AGERE! is a 2-days workshop, including three invited lectures 
from:

- Akinori Yonezawa (University of Tokyo, Japan)
   "Agents, Concurrent Objects, and High Performance Computing"

- Philipp Haller (Typesafe)
   "On the integration of the actor model in mainstream technologies:
   The Scala perspective"

- Birna van Riemsdijk (Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands)
   "20 years of Agent-Oriented Programming in Distributed AI:
   History and Outlook"

and research paper sessions with 9 full papers, 4 short/position,
and 1 demo. An important part of AGERE! are discussions that we hope
will be generated  around new ideas and directions.  More details about
the full programme can be found on the website.

Local information and registration details can be found directly
on the SPLASH website: http://splashcon.org/2012.
