ACSys 2004 Workshop on Agents for Complex Systems in conjunction with SYNASC-2004  6th International Symposium on  Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing  Timisoara, Romania  September 26 - 30, 2004

This workshop aims at bringing together leading researchers from both academia and industry to discuss the design and implementation of multi-agent systems (MAS) for complex problem solving. The workshop is intended to demonstrate the advantages of using the MAS paradigm and technology in solving real world, distributed, and complex problems for interconnected and open systems.

Topics:
    
          Specific topics of this workshop include, but are not limited to, the following:
                   - Multi-agent systems for modeling and simulation
                   - Agent oriented software design and methodology
                   - Performance analysis/modeling of multi-agent systems
                   - Task-based agent context and task-oriented agents
                   - Multi-agent systems in high-performance processing
                   - Agents and multi-agent systems for Grid Computing
                   - Recommendation agents for scientific problem solving
                   - Distributed knowledge integration and sharing for scientific applications
                   - Agent based resource and service discovery
 
       Experience reports and application demonstrators are particularly welcome.

Submission of papers
   
Papers of up to 10 pages must be submitted electronically, preferably in LaTeX format (download the LaTeX style), but we also accept papers in pdf format, to vnegru@info.uvt.ro. Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the Workshop topics. Papers accepted for presentation will be published in the SYNASC'04 proceedings (with ISBN), which will be available during the workshop. Selected papers will be published in a post-proceeding.
