• Proceedings and other material from Agents '97 and Agents '98 (including Online Proceedings '97)

Agents '99 will build on the enormous successes of the First International Conference on Autonomous Agents (http://www.isi.edu/isd/AA97/info.html) held in Marina del Rey in February 1997, and The Second Conference (http://www.cis.udel.edu/~agents98/) held in Minneapolis/St. Paul in May 1998. Each conference was attended by approximately 500 people. 

The conference welcomes submissions of original, high quality papers and videos with summaries concerning autonomous agents in a variety of embodiments and playing a variety of roles in their environments. The Agents '99 conference, like it predecessors, will focus primarily on systems that have been or are being implemented; theory papers are welcome provided that they clearly relate to such systems, for example helping us predict their behavior, explain, or understand them. The submission of pure theory papers is not encouraged: there are other more appropriate forums for such work. Papers that address isolated agent capabilities (such as planning or learning) are similarly discouraged. Evaluation of agents or multi-agent systems will be a necessary component of each submission. 

The conference will include presentations of papers and videos, panel sessions, software and robotic agent demonstrations, and exhibits. More generally, the conference will strive towards an informal atmosphere with plenty of time for presentations, questions, and discussions. Accepted papers will be formally published in the Conference Proceedings. A limited number of student scholarships will be available. The conference will also include tutorials and workshops that will take place May 1-2, 1999.
