CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Software Agents are an emerging technology offering many possibilities for structuring distributed systems. Although this promising approach is not new, a breakthrough in commercial products is still to come. In order to explore and expose the opportunities for Agent-Based systems, Fraunhofer IITB is hosting the first international workshop on Software Agents in Information Systems and Industrial Applications (SAISIA) in February 2006.
The talks given at the SAISIA-Workshop will cover a broad range of issues from the topics "Information Systems", "Industrial Applications" and "Future Developments in Agent-Based Systems". Special regard will be given to commercially relevant applications of Agent-Based systems.At the end of the workshop all participants will be invited to discuss the opportunities of Agent-Based Systems in the next few years in a panel discussion with all invited speakers.
We would be very glad if you took this opportunity to join us at the
SAISIA-Workshop and welcome you to Fraunhofer IITB in February 2006.
