Barnes & Noble Multiagent System Technologies: Third German Conference, MATES 2005, Koblenz, Germany, September 11-13, 2005, Proceedings at Hamilton Place in Chattanooga, TN
After two successful MATES conferences in Erfurt 2003 and 2004, the 3rd G- man conference on Multi-agent System Technologies (MATES 2005) took place in Koblenz, Germany, in September 2005, and was co-located with the 28th German Conference on Artificial Intelligence (KI 2005). Building on other agent-related events in Germany in the past, and organized by the GI German Special Interest Group on Distributed Artificial Intelligence, the MATES conference series aims at promoting the theory and applications of agents and multiagent systems. Incorporating the 9th International Workshop on Cooperative Information Agents (CIA 2005), the topics of interest for MATES 2005 also covered the fields of intelligent information agents and systems for the Internet and the (Semantic) Web. As in recent years, MATES 2005 provided a distinguished, lively and int- disciplinary forum for researchers, users, and developers of agent technology, to present and discuss the latest advances of research and development in the area of autonomous agents and multiagent systems. Accordingly, the topics of MATES 2005 covered the whole range from the theory to applications of age- and multiagent technology. The technical program included a total of 24 scientific talks, and demonstrations of selected running agent systems, and both the MATES 2005 Best Paper and the CIA 2005 System Innovation awards.
