=========================================================== 10th International KES Conference on Agents and Multi-agent Systems: Technologies & Applications (AMSTA-16) Hotel Botanico & The Oriental Spa Garden, Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain on 15th-17th June 2016 http://amsta-16.kesinternational.org/ <http://amsta-16.kesinternational.org/> ===========================================================
KES-AMSTA-2016 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. In addition, as a part of this conference, we invite multi-interdisciplinary researchers that contribute theories, technologies and applications in the new Digital and Knowledge Economy. The conference will be co-located under the KES Smart Digital Futures umbrella with our other Intelligent Systems conferences: IIMSS, IDT, SEEL and the newly added InMED (Innovation in Medicine and Healthcare). Registration gives access to all of these conferences, together with a paper published in one set of proceedings. The conference proceedings will be published by Springer as book chapters in a volume of the KES Smart Innovation Systems and Technologies series, submitted for indexing in Scopus and Thomson-Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI) and the Web of Science. Please see the Smart Digital Futures 2016 website: http://sdf-16.kesinternational.org/ <http://sdf-16.kesinternational.org/> for more information. =============== Conference Scope =============== Agent Systems Formal models of agency.
