June 12-14, 1995, San Francisco The first international conference on multiagent systems is organized as a joint effort of the North American Distributed Artificial Intelligence community, the Japanese Multiagent and Cooperative Computing community, and the European Modeling Autonomous Agents in a Multiagent World community, with support from AAAI and sanctioned by ECCAI. The Proceedingscover a broad spectrum of perspectives including artificial life, communications issues, and negotiation strategies. Topics cover: - Agent Architectures. - Artificial Life (from a multiagent perspective). - Believable Agents. - Cooperation, Coordination, and Conflict. - Communcation Issues. - Conceptual and Theoretical Foundations of Multiagent Systems. - Development and Engineering Methodologies. - Distributed Artificial Intelligence. - Distributed Consensus and Algorithms for Multiagent Interaction. - Distributed Search. - Evaluation of Multiagent Systems. - Integrated Testbeds and Development Environments. - Intelligent Agents in Enterprise Integration Systems and Similar Types of Applications. - Learning and Adaptation in Multiagent Systems. - Multiagent Cooperative Reasoning from Distributed Heterogeneous Databases. - Multiagent Planning and Planning for Multiagent Worlds. - Negotiation Strategies (in both competitive and cooperative situations). - Organization, Organizational Knowledge, and Organization Self-Design. - Practical Applications of Multiagent Systems (enterprises, robotics, sensing, manufacturing). - Resource Allocation in Multiagent Systems. - Social Structures and their Signfiicance in Multiagent Systems. - User Interface Issues for Multiagent Systems. Distributed for AAAI Press
