From: [log in to unmask] (CM Jonker) Subject: Agent Course: Design of Intelligent Multi-Agent Systems We apologize if you receive this announcement more than once. Due to several requests for an additional course in february, a new course date has been set. Therefore, we would like to draw your attention to: Design of Intelligent Multi-Agent Systems ========================================= 5-day course that is half theory and half practice Time: February, 10-16, 1999. Place: Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam In this course, the basic concepts and characteristics of agents will be addressed, and a systematic compositional design methodology for multi-agent systems will be presented. Course material and instructions are in English. If you would like to participate in this course, please send in an registration form before the first of february. DETAILED COURSE CONTENTS ======================== Can be found at http://www.cs.vu.nl/~wai/demas Aim of the course ================= In this course, participants learn to construct transparent, structured conceptual designs of multi-agent systems, to specify conceptual and detailed designs, and to transform specifications into implementations. In addition, participants learn to use graphical tools designed to support modelling, specification, implementation and testing of multi-agent systems. Course fee and registration =========================== The course fee is NLG 2500 (NLG 1 is approximately USD 0.53 as of January, 1999). The form should be returned before February 1, 1999.
