International Workshop on Logic Programming and Multi-Agents
sponsored by the EC activity KIT011-LPKRR and the CLN
in conjunction with
ICLP'97, Leuven, Belgium,
July 8--12, 1997

Call for participation
To understand the paradigm shift in computing from stand-alone
computer systems to distributed systems based on the client-server
architecture and the internet new conceptual models for computing are
needed. In particular, improved computational models of single agents
and of multi-agents are necessary. We believe that computational logic
and logic programming provide the useful conceptual and practical
tools for developing and studying these models.
The workshop will serve as a forum for disseminating research and experience
in this important and fast advancing field.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Interacting agents
- Meta logic programmming applied to multi agent programming
- Distributed reactive systems
- Cognitive robotics,
- Applications:
- Integration of heterogeneous autonomous systems
- Software agents, agent oriented interface programming,
real-time systems,
- Relations between agent oriented programming and
object-oriented programming,
- Inductive logic programming for self-organizing agents
The main focus of the workshop is on new and original research. But we
also strongly encourage the submission of papers describing products,
and prototypes in development of multi-agent systems. 'Vision' papers
discussing the potential of a marriage of computational logic,
especially lp and multi-agents are also welcome.
We also would like to have panels to discuss issues in the potential
application areas of multi-agents.
