The conference covers the whole range of agent- and multi-agent technologies and aims to promote its theory and applications. For the eighth time, the German special interest group on Distributed Artificial Intelligence organizes this international conference in cooperation with the steering committee of MATES. Topics of interest of MATES 2010 include all aspects of agent-oriented computing and agent technologies. We solicit both basic as well as applied research papers on recent advances in the area of intelligent agents and multi-agent systems in general. Also papers reporting on the successful application of agent technologies in any kind of domain are very welcome. MATES 2010 encourages especially submissions from recent and emerging areas of interest such as autonomic computing, distributed coordination and robust multi-agent systems. Additionally, we encourage the submission of elaborated vision and challenge papers that discuss mid-term and long-term directions for research and application.
 
The „Eighth German Conference on Multi-Agent-System Technologies” will take place at the University of Leipzig as a part of the Annual Conference of the ‘Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V.’ (GI). The Conference provides an interdisciplinary forum for researchers, users, and developers to present and discuss latest advances in research work as well as prototyped or fielded systems of intelligent agents and multi-agent systems. Leipzig University is located at the heart of Germany and celebrated its 600th anniversary in 2009.
