Abstract. This paper presents a brief summary of the contents of the special
session on practical applications held in the framework of IWANN 2009. The
special session has been supported by the THOMAS (TIN2006-14630-C03-03)
project and aims at presenting the results obtained in the project, as well as at
exchanging experience with other researchers in this field.
Keywords: Multiagent systems, Agents technology.
1 Introduction
Research on Agents and Multi-Agent Systems has matured during the last decade and
many effective applications of this technology are now deployed. 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, has become a necessity.
The Special Session on Practical Applications of Agents and Multiagent Systems
(http://iwann.usal.es/mas), in the framework of the 10
th
International Work-
Conference on Artificial Neural Networks (IWANN 2009) provides a
unique
opportunity to bring multi-disciplinary experts and practitioners together to exchange
their experience in all aspects of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, especially those
concerned with applications, methods, techniques and tools for open multi-agent
systems.
The session intends to bring together researchers and developers from industry and
academic world to report on the latest scientific and technical advances on the
application of multi-agent systems, discuss and debate the major issues, and showcase
the latest systems using agent based technology. It is a multidisciplinary discipline
that may attract scientist and professionals to IWANN and to provide a different field
in which to apply ANN based technology. It promotes 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.
