25-26 July 2005, Workshop on Formal Models of Resource-Bounded Agents (FMRBA'05)

Much of the work in formal logical modelling of agents assumes idealised rational agents with unrestricted memory and unbounded time available for reasoning. This is unrealistic, since the agents are ascribed capabilities which they do not possess (e.g. ability to derive any theorem of classical propositional logic). Recently, there has been growing interest in formal models of resource-bounded agents. While this work has been presented at agents and logics conferences and workshops (IJCAI, AAMAS, EUMAS) and published in journals, such as the Journal of Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, this emerging community has lacked a forum for discussion. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers working on models of resource-bounded agents to assess the state of the art and identify open problems.

Deadline for paper submission is the 14th of March 2005. Topics of interest include general frameworks for modelling resource bounded agents, models of resource bounded agent architectures and models of resource bounded agent capabilities.

This workshop will be co-located with AAMAS 2005. For more information, see the workshop web page at http://www.agents.cs.nott.ac.uk/events/fmrba05/
