Preface
Agent computing and technology is an exciting emerging paradigm expected to play a key role in many society-changing practices from disaster response to manufacturing, and from energy management to healthcare. Agent and multiagent researchers are focused on building working systems that bring together a broad range of technical areas from market theory to software engineering to user interfaces.
