The aim of this track is the deeper investigations of Agent-Oriented
Software Engineering (AOSE) methodologies, infrastructures and processes.
The need of engineering new sorts of complex computational systems (like
for example self-* systems) for new kinds of application scenarios (like
pervasive systems) calls for new SE methodologies, frameworks,
infrastructures, and processes. Agent-oriented systems are the most
likely candidate to work as the sources for new metaphors, abstractions,
technologies, and methods for the engineering of complex systems. <br>
In this track we aim at discussing all the elements that influence the
construction of complex computational systems as agent-oriented ones, by
promoting the interplay between researchers in AOSE methodologies,
agent-oriented frameworks and infrastructures, and AOSE processes, thus
encouraging the development of the very notion of AOSE towards the most
general and widest acceptation of the term.<br><br>
TOPICS OF INTEREST <br>
The list of most relevant topics includes, but it is not limited to:
<br><br>
* Agent-Oriented Software Engineering<br>
* Methodologies for agent-oriented analysis and design<br>
* Infrastructures for multi-agent systems<br>
* Design of software development processes <br>
* Situational Method Engineering techniques for AOSE design processes
<br>
* Relationships between MAS meta-models and their relative AOSE
methodologies<br>
* Relationships between AOSE processes and the other traditional
processes (e.g. OO)<br>
* Relationship between AOSE methodologies and Infrastructures
processes<br>
* Meta-modelling techniques <br>
* Software development process models<br>
* Fragment definitions and descriptions<br>
* Integration of agent-oriented methodologies, infrastructures and
processes<br>
* Approaches for AOSE methodologies: design patterns, components, and
architectures<br>
* Supporting tools for AOSE methodologies/processes construction and
enactment <br>
* Standardisation for AOSE methodologies and processes<br>
* Self-* approaches in AOSE methodologies and processes<br><br>

Important Dates:<br>
Sept. 8, 2009: Paper submissions<br>
Oct. 19, 2009: Author notification<br>
Nov. 2, 2009: Camera-Ready Copy<br><br>
<br>
Paper Publication:<br>
Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished papers. All papers
will be fully refereed and undergo a blind review process by at least
three referees. The conference proceedings will be published by ACM.
Hence, all accepted papers should be submitted in ACM 2-column
camera-ready format for publication in the symposium proceedings. Authors
are allowed up to 8 pages according to the template, but more than 5
pages in the camera ready will be charged with 80USD per extra page.
Paper submission should be in electronic format, via the website: eCMS
