About AgentLink
AgentLink is a network of excellence funded by the European Commission
under its Fifth Framework Information Society Technologies programme
until mid-2003 to foster activity in the research and development
of agent-based computing. Coordinated by Dr Michael Luck of the University
of Southampton, AgentLink aims to:
1. raise commercial awareness of agent technology and European technology
transfer;
2. encourage excellence and commercial relevance in European agent
research;
and
3. promote excellence in agent teaching and training.
In support of these aims, AgentLink undertakes a number of activities including:
• a continually updated web portal, www.AgentLink.org, for news, information
and
resources on all aspects of agent technology;
• a regularly published magazine, AgentLink News, with commercially relevant
articles, standards updates, reports on meetings, conferences, active sites,
and new initiatives
in the area.
• annual summer schools on agent systems;
• development of online databases at www.AgentLink.org, and print reports
on agent
software, projects, papers, and so on; and
• development of the AgentLink Technological Roadmap.
Membership of AgentLink
is free. Full membership is open to all European universities demonstrating
excellence in agent-based computing, and to European commercial
organisations interested in this area. Associate membership is open
to institutions outside Europe. More information about AgentLink and its activities
can be found
at www.AgentLink.org.
If you have any suggestions about how
to improve this Technological Roadmap, or if you would like to
contribute to the roadmapping
activity, to join
the network, or to participate in other ways, simply email the
director of AgentLink, Michael
Luck, at coordinator@agentlink.org.
