* AgentLink III proposal submitted

After a lot of work, an AgentLink III proposal has been submitted in
the first call of FP6. AgentLink III is proposed as a Coordination
Action in the area of Semantic based knowledge systems, to continue
the successful work of the current AgentLink project.

The proposal was put together by a team who will also lead the
project: Peter McBurney and Mike Wooldridge of the University of
Liverpool; Terry Payne and Michael Luck of the University of
Southampton. Coordination will be shared between Liverpool and
Southampton, but Peter McBurney will become the named coordinator if
successful.

Because of time constraints, we did not seek forms for each member of
the current network, but named existing members in an Annex, together
with others who were keen to participate in a new network. If
successful, these will be the first members of AgentLink III.

The proposal is available from the AgentLink document archive:

* Agent papers clearinghouse

AgentLink has established a clearinghouse for agent papers.  In
essence, this is a repository for bibliographic details and URLs to
provide a resource for the community. To date, the clearinghouse has
not been used greatly, but we have improved the pages and are seeking
to provide a comprehensive resource for researchers, students, etc.

To make this work, we need your help. Simply go to the form at

    http://www.agentlink.org/resources/clearing-house/enter-pubs.php

enter your publication details (together with URL) and submit it.
Alternatively, mail sr2@ecs.soton.ac.uk with the relevant
information.

Please note that you MUST include the appropriate section number so
that we can classify the paper correctly. See 

    http://www.agentlink.org/resources/clearing-house-view.html

for details.

If you have comments about the classification of papers, email
sr2@ecs.soton.ac.uk
