First International Conference on Multiagent Systems

Contents

The First International Conference on Multi-Agent Systems is a joint effort of the North American distributed artificial intelligence (DAI) community, the Japanese multi-agent and cooperative computing (MACC) community, and the European modeling autonomous agents in a multi-agent world (MAAMAW) community. This conference was initiated as a result of the growing recognition of the importance of multi-agent systems and architectures to fundamental issues in computer science and to the development of commercial network applications.
