Preface

This book comprises the formal proceedings of KRAMAS 2008, a workshop on Knowledge Representation for Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, held at KR 2008, Sydney, Australia, September 17, 2008. The initiative for KRAMAS 2008 was taken by last year’s KR Chairs to enhance cross-fertilization between the KR (Knowledge Representation and Reasoning) and agent communities. To promote participation in the KR schedule, the workshop was conveniently ‘sandwiched’ between days with regular KR sessions. The topics solicited included: – Knowledge representation and reasoning aspects of agent systems (languages, ontologies, techniques) – Reasoning about (actions of) agents – Reasoning methods (such as non-monotonic reasoning, abduction, argumentation, diagnosis, planning, decision making under uncertainty, reasoning about preference, ...) applied to agents and multi-agent systems (MAS) – Theory of negotiation, communication, cooperation, group decision making, game theory for MAS – Cognitive robotics – Representations of other agents / opponent models – Logics for intelligent agents and MAS – Specification and verification techniques for agents – Automated reasoning techniques for agent-based systems – Logical foundations of agent-based systems, normative
