Preface

Since early 1990, multi-agent systems (MAS), data mining, and knowledge discovery (KDD) have remained areas of high interest in the research and development of intelligent information technologies. Indeed, MAS offers powerful metaphors for information system conceptualization, a range of new techniques, and technologies specifically focused on the design and implementation of largescale open distributed intelligent systems. KDD also provides intelligent information technology with powerful ideas, algorithms, and software means to help cope with the main problem of artificial intelligence, formulated in the wellknown question “Where does the knowledge come from?”, thus actually making modern applications intelligent and adaptive. The evident recent trend in both science and industry is to integrate and take advantage of both technologies. The existing experience with combined application of multi-agent technology to design architectures of distributed (hierarchical and peer-to-peer) data mining and KDD systems, as well as the utiliza
