===================================================================
9th International KES Conference on Agents and Multi-agent Systems –
Technologies &
Applications (AMSTA-15)
CONFIRMED VENUE: Hilton Sorrento Palace, Sorrento, Italy
AMENDED DATES: 17th-19th June 2015
http://amsta-15.kesinternational.org/
===================================================================
KES-AMSTA-2015 is an international scientific conference for research in the
field of agent and multi-agent systems. The aim of the conference is to provide
an internationally respected forum for scientific research in the technologies
and applications of agent and multi-agent systems.
Agents and multi-agent systems are related to a modern software paradigm which
has long been recognised as a promising technology for constructing autonomous,
complex and intelligent systems. This conference will provide an excellent
opportunity for researchers to discuss modern approaches and techniques for
agent and multi-agent systems and their applications.
The conference will be co-located under the KES Smart Digital Futures umbrella
with our other Intelligent Systems conferences: IIMSS and IDT and SEEL (Smart
Education and E-Learning). Registration gives access to all of these
conferences, together with a paper published in one set of proceedings. The
conference proceedings will be published in the KES Springer series 'Smart
Innovations, Systems and Technologies' and submitted for indexing in Scopus and
CPCI which is part of Web of Science.
