Agent-oriented concepts and techniques : could well be the foundations for the next generation of : mainstream information systems. : : Information systems have become the backbone of all kinds : of organizations today. Yet the inflexibilities in current : technologies and methods have also resulted in poor : performance, incompatibilties, and obstacles to change. : As many organizations are reinventing themselves to meet : the challenges of global competition and e-commerce, : there is increasing pressure to develop and deploy new : technologies that are flexible, robust, and responsive : to rapid and unexpected change. : : Agent concepts, which originated in artificial intelligence : but which have further developed and evolved in many areas : of computing, hold great promise for responding to the new : realities of information systems. The workshop will focus : on how agent concepts and techniques will contribute to : meeting information systems needs today and tomorrow. : : REGISTRATION : http://www.dsv.su.se/conferences/caise00/registration.html : : ===== Start of ISWorld List Footer ===== : ISWorld list is a service of the Association for Information Systems (AIS) : (http://www.aisnet.org) hosted at University College Dublin.
