Call for industry papers The 12th International Conference on Principles of Practice in Multi-Agent Systems (PRIMA2009, Nagoya, Japan)

The Industry Track of the 12th International Conference on Principles of Practice in Multi-Agent Systems (PRIMA2009, 12-14 Dec. 2009, Nagoya, Japan) ( http://www.prima2009.org/) is dedicated to collect, present and discuss contributions reporting on industrial and commercial deployment of software agent technologies and practices. If you are working to commercialize agent technologies, or developing real-world practices based on the agent technologies, you are invited to submit papers on your current works.

As the goal of the industrial track is to show the state of the art in applying agent technology to the real world applications, papers must provide sufficient details on the application domains, and the agent-based techniques used, the issues surrounding actual implementations and applications, and the lessons learned in the field.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* Experiences gained from commercialization attempts

* Investment analysis of agent technologies

* Insights into markets appropriate for agent technologies

* Commercial application of agents

* Application case studies

* Practices on agent-based e-government

* Practices on agent-based automation and logistics

* Practices on agent-based telecommunication, media and entertainment

* Practices on agent-based healthcare systems

* Practices on agent-based smart living, ambient intelligence.

* Practices on biotechnology

* Practices on monitoring and maintenance, and surveillance

* Practices on managing large scale infrastructures

* Practices on software development

* Other practices of agents, such as in the non-profit sector

* Barriers to adoption or adoption facilitators
