  <description><![CDATA[Trust is a statement (or prediction of reliance) about what is otherwise unknown or uncertain -- for example, because it is far away, cannot be verified, or is in the future. Trust is pervasive and beneficial in complex social systems. It can be built from direct interactions between the source party (truster) and the target (trustee). However, in large open systems, it is infeasible for each party to have a direct basis for trusting another party. Therefore, the participants in an open syste...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The concept of an agent is ubiquitous in Computer Science.
During the past decade a "software agents" paradigm has
emerged which views agents as autonomous, cooperating
processes which use expressive communication languages to
exchange information and knowledge and to coordinate their
activities. This has been seen as a way to capitalize on the
opportunities (and solve many of the problems) created by
the Internet and Web.  Yet the technology has not yet made

  <description><![CDATA[Travel Agent Game in Agentcities (TAGA) is a framework that extends and enhances the Trading Agent Competition (TAC) system to work in Agentcities, an open multiagent systems environment of FIPA-compliant systems. TAGA makes several contributions: auction services are added to enrich the Agentcities environment, the use of the semantic web languages RDF and DAML+OIL improve the interoperability among agents, and the DAML-S ontology is employed to support service registration, discovery, and i...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[As computing becomes pervasive, there are increasing opportunities for the use of collaborative multiagent systems that make use of multiple sources of knowledge for validation, accuracy, and reliability improvement purposes. Application areas include multiple classifier systems, multiple sensor fusion, and redundancy-based software fault tolerant systems. The focus of this work is on the area of software fault tolerance. Most of the practical implementations of software fault tolerant strate...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The software agents paradigm has received considerable research but has not yet found broad application. The vision is still sound and will be re-invigorated by two new developments: semantic web languages, which provide stronger knowledge sharing technology, and the emergence of pervasive computing environments, whose requirements match the strengths of multiagent systems.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[A presentation from a keynote talk at the 2005 MATA workshop.

A multiagent systems paradigm has emerged in which autonomous, cooperating processes use rich communication languages and protocols to exchange information and knowledge, share goals and tasks, and coordinate their activities. This vision offers ways to exploit new opportunities of and solve problems created by the Internet and Web. Yet multiagent systems have not yet found broad application. The vision is sound and is being re-...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[This four-hour tutorial was given at the Second International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems,  covered both introductory and intermediate concepts of the theory and practice of Agent Communication Languages in the Semantic Web era.

This tutorial focused on software agents as autonomous, cooperating processes that use rich agent communication languages to exchange information and knowledge and to coordinate their activities. It presented the general requirement...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Trust is a statement (or prediction of reliance) about what is otherwise
unknown or uncertain -- for example, because it is far away, cannot be
verified, or is in the future. Trust is pervasive and beneficial in complex
social systems. It can be built from direct interactions between the source
party (truster) and the target (trustee). However, in large open systems, it
is infeasible for each party to have a direct basis for trusting another
party. Therefore, the participants in an open...]]></description>
