CALL FOR PAPERS
Holonic and Multi-Agent Systems provide a novel paradigm
for managing, modelling and supporting complex systems.
This concept proved to be successful in number of industrial
domains such as manufacturing, resource allocation and
production planning, air traffic.
The workshop aims to bring together researchers active in the
area of holonic and multi-agent systems together with key
engineers and industrial decision makers to share their views
and experience in research, design, development and applying
Holonic and Multi-Agent Systems for industrial problems.
SUGGESTED TOPICS (but not limited to):
- Successful Industrial Applications of Holonic and Multi-Agent Systems (Case-Studies are specially appreciated)
- Differences and similarities between the concept of Holons and Agents
- Communication Principles and Standards
- Theoretical background behind holonic/agent concepts (do
they converge to each other?)
- Visions and future trends of Holonic and Multi-Agent Systems
- Standardisation issues, industrial needs
- Obstacles and barriers of industrial applicability
