[Carina Rebstock]

Dear Colleague(s),

 
It is our pleasure to announce the 

 

                  
FIRST INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON

SOFTWARE AGENTS IN INFORMATION SYSTEMS
AND INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
(SAISIA)

 

February 9 - 10, 2006
     
Fraunhofer-Institute for
Information and Data Processing

Fraunhoferstraße 1
Karlsruhe, Germany

 

 


CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

 

Software Agents are an emerging technology offering many possibilities for structuring distributed systems.

Although this promising approach is not new, a breakthrough in commercial products is still to come. 
In order to explore and expose the opportunities for Agent-Based systems, Fraunhofer IITB is hosting the

first international workshop on 

»Software Agents in Information Systems and Industrial Applications (SAISIA) in February 2006«

 

The talks given at the SAISIA-Workshop will cover a broad range of issues from the topics 

»Information Systems«, 

»Industrial Applications« and
»Future Developments in Agent-Based Systems«.

Special regard will be given to commercially relevant applications of Agent-Based systems.

 

At the end of the workshop all participants will be invited to discuss the opportunities of Agent-Based Systems

in the next few years in a panel discussion with all invited speakers.

 

We would be very glad if you took this opportunity to join us at the
SAISIA-Workshop and welcome you to Fraunhofer IITB in February 2006.
