Preface
Recently, the area of agents and multi-agent systems has grown into a respected research field and a promising technology that has already been exploited in several industrial cases. There have been many novel methods, algorithms and theories investigated and formulated. These enrich and enhance classical software engineering and computer science, the areas of distributed systems and parallel computing, various fields of robotics, collaborative systems, Internet services and technologies, and grid computing, as well as knowledge management, computer-supported manufacturing or coalition formation and teamwork. Researchers have participated in a vast number of international and national research projects which have resulted in networks of excellence, thematic clusters and large-scale standardization efforts.
