The agents approach is not just another abstract computing paradigm, but has matured during recent years into a booming research area and software engineering technology which holds great promise for the design and application of complex distributed systems.This book presents 12 revised full chapters grouped around 3 main topics in intelligent agent systems; agent architectures, formal theories of rationality and cooperation and collaboration. Among the topics addressed are software agents, BDI architectures, social commitment, believable agents and artificial life. The book is based on the Workshop on Theoretical and Practical Foundations of Intelligent Agents held at the Fourth Pacific Rim International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Cairns, Australia, in August 1996.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of three workshops held in conjunction with the 10th Australian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Perth, Australia, in December 1997.The 17 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed for inclusion in the book. The book is divided into sections on formal methods of agency, reasoning agents, communication and coordination, social interaction, and practical issues for distributed artificial intelligence systems.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21th Australasian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, AI 2008, held in Auckland, New Zealand, in December 2008. The 42 revised full papers and 21 revised short papers presented together with 1 invited lecture were carefully reviewed and selected from 143 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on knowledge representation, constraints, planning, grammar and language processing, statistical learning, machine learning, data mining, knowledge discovery, soft computing, vision and image processing, and AI applications.
