European Workshop on Modelling Autonomous Agents in a Multi Agent World Cambridge, August 16-18, 1989 King's College THE WORKSHOP The purpose of the Workshop is to stimulate exchange and discussions on the artificial intelligence models of an autonomous agent having to interact with other autonomous entities. An autonomous agent is defined as having his own goals, capabilities and knowledge. The multi-agent problems arise when several autonomous agents share a common environment. These problems are due to limited ressources, 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. This Workshop is sponsored by the CEE through a COST-13 project grant.
