Preface
The research of holonic and agent-based systems is developing very rapidly. The community around this R&D topic is also growing fast - despite the fact that the real-life practical implementations of such systems are still surprisingly rare. However, the managers in different branches of industry feel that the holonic and agent-based systems represent the only way of managing and controlling very complex, highly distributed systems exploring vast volumes of accumulated knowledge. The relevant research and development activities gain more and more visible support from both industry as well as public sectors. Quite naturally, the number of scientific events aimed at the subject field is also growing rapidly. We see new lines of conferences like INDIN, we observe a strong focus of the already well-established conferences, e.g., INCOM or ETFA, being sh
