AIMS & SCOPE
============

The German conference on Multi-Agent System TEchnologieS (MATES)
provides an interdisciplinary forum for researchers, users and
developers, to present and discuss latest advances in research work,
as well as prototyped or fielded systems of intelligent agents and
multi-agent systems. The conference aims to promote theory and
application and covers the whole range of agent- and multi-agent
technologies.

For the third time the German special interest group on Distributed
Artificial Intelligence jointly with the steering committee of MATES
organizes this international conference in order to promote theory and
application of agents and multi-agent systems. Building on the two
successful predecessors in 2003 and 2004, MATES 2005 is co-located with
the 28th German Conference on Artificial Intelligence
(KI 2005, http://ki2005.uni-koblenz.de/).
In addition, the MATES 2005 conference is incorporating the
9th international workshop on cooperative information agents (CIA 2005,
http://www.dfki.de/~klusch/IWS-CIA-home.html). Thus, the topics of
interest of MATES 2005 also cover the domain of information agents
and agent-based information systems for the Internet, Web, and semantic
Web. We solicit papers that report on recent advances in the domain of
intelligent agents and multi-agent systems in general, and information
agents and agent-based information systems in particular. We also
specifically encourage elaborated vision and challenge papers that lay
out mid-term and long-term directions for these domains.

TOPICS
======

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Coordination and conflict resolution
* Negotiation and argumentation
* Artificial social systems: conventions, norms, institutions;
   trust and reputation
* Hybrid human and agent societies
* Advanced theories of collaboration:
   Modelling and formation of teams, coalitions, groups, and
   organizations
* Multi-agent planning and scheduling
* Adaptive agents and multi-agent learning
* Complex systems and their management
* Agent and multi-agent architectures
* Agent communication languages
* Agent-oriented software engineering
* Multi-agent platforms and tools
* Architectures, prototypes, and fielded systems
   of information agents for the Web, and semantic Web
* Agent-based recommender systems
* Agent-Based distributed knowledge discovery and data mining
* Agent-based semantic Web service discovery and composition planning
* Agent-based service matchmaking and brokering in the semantic Web
* Agent-based distributed ontology management
* Mobile information agents
* Human-agent interaction for (systems of) information agents
* Interface agents, believable agents and user modelling
* Information agents for/applied to digital cities.

   Robustness, scalability and performance measurement
* Multi-agent simulation and modelling

AWARDS
======

* Best Paper Award

   MATES and CIA 2005 jointly issue a "MATES/CIA 2005 Best Paper Award".
   This award is sponsored by Siemens Corporation, Germany.

* System Award

   This award is sponsored by Whitestein Technologies, Switzerland.


DOCTORAL MENTORING PROGRAM
==========================

MATES 2005 intends to include a doctoral mentoring program, aimed at PhD
students in advanced stages of their research. This program will provide
an opportunity for students to interact closely with established
researchers in their fields, to receive feedback on their work and to
get advice on managing their careers. For further information,
pls contact Torsten Eymann [log in to unmask]

STUDENT TRAVEL GRANTS
=====================

MATES 2005 provides limited financial support to a limited number of

The proceedings of MATES 2005 will be published as volume 3550
in the Springer series of Lecture Notes on Artificial Intelligence
(LNAI). These proceedings are considered as joint proceedings with
CIA 2005.

SUBMISSION DETAILS
==================

For preparation of papers to be submitted please follow the instructions
for authors available at the Springer LNCS Web page:
<http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html>.
For those not using the Springer LNCS style files: The paper must be
formatted in A4 size using 10 point Times. (If Times is not available,
please use one of the similar fonts widely used in phototypesetting.)

exceed 12 pages. All papers must be written in English and submitted
either in postscript or PDF format.
Papers that have been accepted or are under review by other conferences
or journals are not eligible for submission.
However, we encourage interdisciplinary contributions submitted
or presented in part to a forum outside of agent technology.
Submissions not conforming to the above requirements may be rejected
without review.

You may submit your paper using the online submission system at

      http://ki.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/conftool/
