Workshop
on Agent Based Computing V (ABC'08)
Wisla,
Poland, October 20-22, 2008
Organized
within the framework of the International Multiconference
on Computer Science and Information Systems and
co-located with the XXIV Autumn Meeting of the Polish
Information Processing Society.
Agent-based
computing has been hailed as the next significant
breakthrough in software development, with the potential
to affect many aspects of computer science, from
artificial intelligence to the technologies and models of
distributed computation. Agent-based systems are capable
of autonomous action in open, dynamically-changing
environments. Agents are currently being applied in
domains as diverse as business information systems,
computer games and interactive cinema, information
retrieval and filtering, user interface design and
industrial process control. The aim of the ABC '08 is
to bring together researchers and developers from
industry and academia in order to report on the latest
scientific and technical advances, discuss and debate the
major issues, and showcase the latest systems.
