Introduction:

By the time the first symposium "From Agent Theory to Agent Implementation" was held in April 1998, agent-based technology had already made a fast inroad from highly specialised workshops on topics such as situatedness, embeddedness, or BDI agents to mainstream textbooks.

In the meantime, this rapid progress has continued and, as many report, even speeded up. Commercialisation of agent technology has started and is well underway.

Still, there remains a considerable lack of clarity regarding the relationship between theoretic models of agents and multiagent systems on the one hand, and the implementation of these models and architectures in real-world applications on the other.

The main objective of this symposium is to foster the exchange of ideas and experience among researchers and practitioners working on theoretical and application-oriented issues of agent technology, covering both the micro and macro aspects of agent design.

Of particular relevance to the symposium is work that provides insights on experiences and lessons learnt when applying specific agent theories or architectures to application problems, and that discusses methods and methodologies that can help system designers to successfully accomplish the mapping between available agent technology on the one hand, and application problems on the other.

Topics of interest therefore include:

• Conceptual and theoretical foundations
• Agent languages and architectures
• Learning and adaptability
• Communication, coordination and collaboration
• Social issues in agent societies
• Safety, security, and responsibility
• Single vs. multi-agent systems
• Development and engineering methodologies
• User interfaces and usability
• Testbeds and evaluations
• Applications of agent technology in routine use

Accepted Papers:

Authors of accepted papers will be notified by End of December 1999 (date moved from December 7 because of extended submission deadline); the list will also be published on the AT2AI-2 web site. After the event, a second round of more extensive reviews is planned which is to lead to the publication of extended versions of selected contributions in an edited collection.
