11th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF AGENTS AND MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS (PAAMS'13)
http://www.paams.net
paams@usal.es
Salamanca (Spain), 22nd-24th May, 2013
Plenary Speaker
Longbing Cao - Agent Mining: The Synergy of Multiagent Systems and Data Mining.
SCOPE
Research on Agents and Multi-Agent Systems has matured during the
last decade and many effective applications of this technology are now
deployed. PAAMS provides an international forum to present and discuss
the latest scientific developments and their effective applications, to
assess the impact of the approach, and to facilitate technology
transfer. PAAMS started as a local initiative, but has since grown to
become THE international yearly platform to present, to discuss, and to
disseminate the latest developments and the most important outcomes
related to real-world applications. It provides a unique opportunity to
bring multi-disciplinary experts, academics and practitioners together
to exchange their experience in the development and deployment of Agents
and Multi-Agent Systems. PAAMS intends to bring together researchers
and developers from industry and the academic world to report on the
latest scientific and technical advances on the application of
multi-agent system, to discuss and debate the major issues, and to
showcase the latest systems using agent based technology. It will
promote a forum for discussion on how agent-based techniques, methods,
and tools help system designers to accomplish the mapping between
available agent technology and application needs. Other stakeholders
should be rewarded with a better understanding of the potential and
challenges of the agent-oriented approach.
