Cyberspace now contains enormous amounts of information and is also being increasingly exploited for a number business and other applications. However, effective use of cyberspace and of the information in it is becoming increasingly difficult. There is now growing interest in deploying intelligent software agents for effectively using cyberspace in a wide variety of applications. Software agents can act as smart personal assistants, roam cyberspace to collect required information on behalf of the users and conduct a variety of business transactions and functions online. They could also collectively perform complex, collaborative tasks. To make significant progress in this area, however, we need to: 1) identify and explore opportunities for intelligent agents in cyberspace; 2) develop new, innovative applications; and 3) devise integrated, comprehensive approaches for their widespread deployment in cyberspace. This symposium aims to bring together researchers and developers in the areas of intelligent agents, information retrieval, electronic business and the Internet and Web to have focussed discussions on the current status of research and applications of intelligent agents in cyberspace and to explore directions for further work. Areas of interest include: Intelligent agents for Cyberspace Agent societies in Cyberspace Barriers to widespread deployment of agents in Cyberspace Agent applications in Cyberspace Agent standards; agent etiquette Social, ethical and legal aspects of deploying of intelligent agents Case studies and experience reports For further details see the symposium web page at: http://btwebsh.macarthur.uws.edu.au/san/iac/ Submissions are due by 30 October 1998 ***************************************************** San Murugesan, Co-chair 1999 AAAI Spring Symposium on INTELLIGENT AGENTS IN CYBERSPACE [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send the words 'unsubscribe jess-users [EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the BODY of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], NOT to the list.
