Beschreibung
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 fifth time the German special interest group on Distributed Artificial Intelligence in cooperation 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 four successful predecessors in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006, MATES 2007 takes place from 24th to 26th of September 2007 in Leipzig under the umbrella of the SABRE event.
We solicit papers that report on recent advances in the domain of intelligent agents and multi-agent systems in general but specifically encourage elaborated vision and challenge papers that discuss mid-term and long-term directions for these domains in the context of the above mentioned topics.
