August 30-
THEME
Agent
technology is one of the most vibrant and active areas of research and
development in information technology. Multi-agents and mobile agent
technologies are making significant impacts upon almost all aspects of
computing discipline. Boldly speaking, they are underpinning the profound
changes taking place in our information society. One of the admittedly most
successful applications is in global business partnerships, directly due to the
nature of the problem. In fact, virtual organizations and e-commerce have
become fashionable practices of today's global businesses. At the right time,
agents act as key components in the Internet-wide information and e-commerce
systems that are currently being developed across the globe, and multi-agents
and mobile agents provide most feasible and effective computational frameworks
for contemporary business practices. In answer to such a trend at the beginning
of this exciting new millennium, MSEAT‘2006 aims to establishing a responsive,
active and valuable world-class academic forum for executives, managers,
practitioners and academicians from multi-agents, mobile agents, software
agents, mobile environment, virtual organizations and e-commerce, in particular
their crisscrosses.
MSEAT'2006 will be held in conjunction with the 12th
International Conference on Distributed Multimedia Systems (DMS'2006): (http://www.ksi.edu/seke/dms06.html)
