Engineering Environment-Mediated Multi-Agent Systems

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the International Workshop on Engineering Environment-Mediated Multi-Agent Systems, EEMMAS 2007, held in Dresden, Germany, in October 2007, in conjunction with ECCS 2007, the European Conference on Complex Systems


The volume includes 16 thoroughly revised papers, selected from the lectures given at the workshop, together with 2 papers resulting from invited talks by prominent researchers in the field. The papers are organized in sections on engineering self-organizing applications, stigmergic interaction, modeling and structuring mediating environments, and environment-based support for context and organizations.
