                           12th International Conference on
                   Practical Applications of Agents and Multiagent Systems
                    University of Salamanca (Spain) 4th-6th June, 2014

******************************************************************************************************* 



Research on Agents and Multi-Agent Systems has matured during the last 
decade and many effective applications of this technology are now 
deployed. PAAMS provides an international forum to present and discuss 
the latest scientific developments and their effective applications, to 
assess the impact of the approach, and to facilitate technology 
transfer. PAAMS started as a local initiative, but has since grown to 
become THE international yearly platform to present, to discuss, and to 
disseminate the latest developments and the most important outcomes 
related to real-world applications. It provides a unique opportunity to 
bring multi-disciplinary experts, academics andpractitioners together to 
exchange their experience in the development and deployment of Agents 
and Multi-Agent Systems.

PAAMS intends to bring together researchers and developers from industry 
and the academic world to report on the latest scientific and technical 
advances on the application of multi-agent systems, to discuss and 
debate the major issues, and to showcase the latest systems using agent 
based technology. It will promote a forum for discussion on how 
agent-based techniques, methods, and tools help system designers to 
accomplish the mapping between available agent technology and 
application needs. Other stakeholders should be rewarded with a better 
understanding of the potential and challenges of the agent-oriented 
approach.
