WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Agent-Orientation is emerging as a powerful new paradigm
in computing.  Agent-oriented concepts and techniques
could well be the foundations for the next generation of
mainstream information systems.

Information systems have become the backbone of all kinds
of organizations today.  Yet the inflexibilities in current
technologies and methods have also resulted in poor
performance, incompatibilties, and obstacles to change.
As many organizations are reinventing themselves to meet
the challenges of global competition and e-commerce,
there is increasing pressure to develop and deploy new
technologies that are flexible, robust, and responsive
to rapid and unexpected change.

Agent concepts, which originated in artificial intelligence
but which have further developed and evolved in many areas
of computing, hold great promise for responding to the new
realities of information systems.  The workshop will focus
on how agent concepts and techniques will contribute to
meeting information systems needs today and tomorrow.

Participation in the workshop is by invitation only.
Priority is given to those who request a priority
