The workshop welcomes the submission of all papers on aspects of
agent oriented software engineering. Particular attention will be
given to work that focusses on how to bridge the gap between AOSE
and conventional software engineering. Topics of interest include
but are not restricted to:
Integration of concepts and techniques from multi-agent systems
with conventional engineering approaches:
- agent-based solutions for managing complexity in software
engineering
- alignment of agents with service-oriented software development
- agents for self-adaptive systems
- agents for dynamic software product lines
Integration of agent-oriented software engineering and
methodologies with conventional engineering processes:
- goal-oriented design
- reusable design knowledge: patterns and reference
architectures
- qualities and tradeoffs of agent-based architectures
- agents and model-driven approaches
- verification of agent-based software
- middleware integration of agent-based software
- integration of agents with legacy systems
- testing of agent-based software
- validation of agent technology in practice
- CASE tools to support agent-oriented software development in
practice
- implications of introducing agent-based solutions on the
development organization
- standardization efforts for multi-agent systems
