Petta, Paolo (ed.) et al., Engineering societies in the agents world III. Third international workshop, ESAW 2002, Madrid, Spain, September 16-17, 2002. Revised papers. Berlin: Springer. Lect. Notes Comput. Sci. 2577, 13-28 (2003).
Summary: Several characteristics distinguish today’s complex software systems from ”traditional” ones. Examples in different areas show that these characteristics, already the focus of agent-oriented software engineering research, influence many application domains. These characteristics will impact how software systems are modeled and engineered. We are on the edge of a revolutionary shift of paradigm, pioneered by the multi-agent systems community, and likely to change our very attitudes in software systems modeling and engineering.
