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><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Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished papers.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 site<a href="http://sac.cs.iupui.edu/SAC2010/">http://sac.cs.iupui.edu/SAC2010/</a><br><br><br><br>Organising Committee:<br>Massimo Cossentino, Italy<br>Ambra Molesini, Italy<br>Andrea Omicini, Italy<br>Valeria Seidita, Italy<br><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; ">**********************************************************</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; ">Dott.
