We are happy to announce:
RASTA'02
International Workshop on
Regulated Agent-Based Social Systems: Theories and Applications
as part of AAMAS 2002, Bologna, Italy
(http://www.autonomousagents.org/2002/)
July 15/16, 2002
Agent Technology is the latest paradigm of software engineering
methodology. The development of autonomous, mobile, and intelligent
agents brings new challenges to the field. Agent technologies and
multi-agent-systems are one of the most vibrant and active research
areas of computer science. At the same time commercial applications of
agents are gaining attention. The construction of artificial (agent)
societies leads to questions that already have been asked for human
societies. Computer Scientists have adopted terms like emerging
behavior, self-organization, and evolutionary theory in an intuitive
manner. Multi-agent-system researchers have started to develop agents
with "social" abilities and complex "social" systems. However, most of
these systems lack the foundation of the social sciences. It is the
intention to bring together researchers from computer science as well as
the social sciences who see their common interest in social theories for
the construction of multi-agent-systems.
The workshop is divided in three sub-topics:
Topic A
Social Theories for Agent Technologies (Socionics)
Topic B
Norms and Instituitions in MAS
Topic C
Agent-based social networks
