                            WORKSHOP

        DECENTRALIZED INTELLIGENT AND MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS

                            DIMAS '95


              22 - 24 November 1995, Cracow, Poland


ORGANIZED BY

              Institute of Computer Science
              University of Mining and Metallurgy (ICS-UMM/AGH)
              and
              Committee of Automatics and Robotics
              Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN)

Prof.  Edward  NAWARECKI  and  task  group  of  the  Institute of
Computer  Science  of  the University of Mining and Metallurgy of
Cracow  (ICS-UMM/AGH)  Poland,  encouraged by Prof. Yves Demazeau
-  LIFIA  IMAG  and  Prof.  Zdzislaw Bubnicki - Polish Academy of
Sciences,  proposes  organising  an  International  Workshop  on:
DECENTRALIZED  INTELLIGENT  and  MULTI-AGENT  SYSTEMS, in Cracow,
in November 1995 (22-24 Nov., 1995).

We  consider  that  this  will  provide  an excellent opportunity
for  people  involved  in  decentralized  intelligent systems and
multi-agent  systems  to  meet  and discuss many problems related
to  the  areas.  Such  a  meeting of specialists on the mentioned
areas  from  Central,  West  and  East Europe would be especially
interesting.

Note:
We  would  like  to  emphasize  that  DIMAS '95 will be the first
meeting  concerning  the  subject  in  this part of Europe.
Thus,  not  only  original  works  (not  published  yet) but also
papers  of  the  sort  "the  state  of  art", presenting what was
done  so  far  and showing the latest results of research carried
out   by   task   groups   at   various   research   centers  and
universities, are very appropriate for the workshop.

LANGUAGES:
English  (French  and  German  may  be  accepted  - then abstract
has to be written in English).
Please use English for oral presentation.

ABSTRACTS:
