Preface
The Fourth International Workshop on Engineering Self-Organizing Applications (ESOA) was held on May 9, 2006 in conjunction with the 2006 Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (AAMAS 2006), in Hakodate, Japan. The present post-proceedings volume contains revised versions of the seven papers presented at the workshop, and six additional invited papers. Continuing the tradition of previous editions, this book discusses a broad variety of topics in an effort to allow room for new ideas and discussion, and eventually a better understanding of the important directions and techniques of our field. In “Hybrid Multi-Agent Systems: Integrating Swarming and BDI Agents”— an article based on an invited talk at the workshop by Van Parunak—Parunak et al. address an important question facing the ESOA community: how should self-organizing swarm-like agent approaches relate to the techniques of the multiagent community at large? ESOA techniques primarily rely on simple reactive age
