The intersection between Computational Intelligence and Agent technology opens significantly new scenarios in many fields where the representation and management of complex systems play a fundamental role. In the formulation of Agent-based systems, the role of uncertainty is crucial for an efficient and coherent resolution of complex problems. Agents overcome classical problems thanks to their inner capabilities to be autonomous, and adapt their behaviour according to changes within the environment in which they live and interact. This means that inevitably they meet uncertainty during their work, or in many cases, due to the highly complex nature of the problem, and the imprecise and approximate kinds of the information they need to handle. Only in recent years has there been a growing awareness that the role of Computational Intelligence for handling uncertainty in agents is equally as important as other features of agent paradigm.
The aim of this special session is to present top quality research pertaining to the theory and applications of Intelligent Agents. The session will also provide a forum for the academic community and industry to report on the recent advances in the field.
We expect submitted papers to be of a high quality describing original research in the area. Topics include, but are not limited to theory and application of:
All papers submitted have to follow the submission guidelines for FUZZ-IEEE 2009.
