CALL FOR PAPERS/PARTICIPATION
__________________________________________________________

Intelligent Agents, a rapidly emerging new paradigm in artificial
intelligence and computing, have potential to play crucial roles in the
global information infrastructure facilitated by the Internet and the
Web. They are set to revolutionise the way we in which we use the
Internet and the Web, manage our mail, search, filter and retrieve
information, do on-line shopping and get advice. They can act as smart
personal assistants to diverse users of the Internet to accomplish tasks
on their behalf. The Internet is an excellent platform for deploying
mobile intelligent agents to collect required information from remote
hosts (servers), or to do on-line shopping, on behalf of the users.
Further, multiagent systems are gaining greater interest for a variety
of collaborative and distributed applications on the Internet.

The goal of the workshop is to assess the current status of research,
development, and applications of intelligent agents on the Internet and
the Web, and to pave directions for further work. By bring together
researchers, software developers, service providers and users interested
in this area, the workshop will provide focussed presentations and
discussions on intelligent agents on the Internet and the Web, and
address various issues in deploying agents on the Internet. 

The workshop is held in conjunction with the 4th World Congress on
Expert Systems and the Internationational Symposium on Artificial
Intelligence.
