* AgentLink Evaluation Questionnaire

As AgentLink II draws to an end, we are keen to evaluate the benefit
of the network and its activities. This is important for the
development of future initiatives, and for further funding for such
activities. In order to gain feedback, therefore, an evaluation form
is now available from the AgentLink website. 

Please take a few minutes to download and complete the form, and return
it by email to sr2@ecs.soton.ac.uk or by post to the address on the form.

You may download the form from the Document Archive at:
      http://www.agentlink.org/admin/docs/index.html

in pdf or doc formats:

* Agent papers clearinghouse

AgentLink has established a clearinghouse for agent papers.  In
essence, this is a repository for bibliographic details and URL's 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 and
enter your publication details (together with URL) and submit it to
us. 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
