******************************************************************************* MAAMAW 90 Modeling Autonomous Agents in a Multi Agent World Second European Workshop August 13-15, 1990, near Paris, France ******************************************************************************* THE WORKSHOP The purpose of the Workshop is to stimulate exchange and discussions on the artificial intelligence models of autonomous agents which have to interact with other autonomous entities. An autonomous agent has its own goals, capabilities and knowledge. The multi-agent problems arise when several autonomous agents share a common environment. These problems are due to limited resources, shared or competing goals, etc. Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) occurs as a special case of the problem but our main concern deals with complementary aspects of DAI by allowing the agents to have unrelated goals. As a consequence, they have to deal with implicit and/or explicit interactions among themselves. Leading experts of the domain will be invited to give presentations. Preprints of the proceedings will be available at the workshop. Papers from the Proceedings will be revised and published as a book.
