Electronic submission of full papers: 9 May, 2011
The third Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems Technology and Semantics (MASTS 2011) will bring together researchers and practioners who are working on or are interested in exploring
novel approaches to multi-agent systems development and the use of multi-agent systems technology in building innovative applications.
The goal of the workshop is to present and discuss ideas and developments related to two converging areas of research and applications, namely multi-agent systems and semantic technology.
The workshop aims to focus on issues such as: the semantic role of agents in building complex distributed applications, the collective and cognitive dimensions of the multi-agent systems paradigm,
the use of agents in the development and deployment of semantic web services, the utilization of intelligent agents and semantics in the development of ambient intelligence applications.
Debates are expected on directions and possibilities of future research in the domain.
MASTS 2011 will be held in conjunction with the 4th International Symposium on Intelligent Distributed Computing (IDC'2011) in Delft, The Netherlands, 5-7 October 2011, http://idc-2011.d-cis.nl/

Paper submission and publication
=======================
Papers should have at most 10 pages (regular papers) or 6 pages (short papers) length and must be formatted according to Springer format for multi-authored works. Submissions and reviews are automatically handled by a system provided by the organizers (see MASTS 2011 web site).
All accepted papers will be published by Springer as part of their series Studies in Computational Intelligence.
Important dates
============
- Electronic submission of full papers: 9 May, 2011
- Notification of paper acceptance: 9 June, 2011
- Final camera-ready copies of accepted papers: 24 June, 2011
- Workshop date: 5-7 October, 2011
There is not best software. There is best theory, the so called axiomatic approach (utility theory, decision making in the sense of Professor H. Raiffa). The best solution is the prescriptive approach in regards to the normative axiomatic approach of von Neuman, Fishburn, Keeney, Kahneman,.. In my opinion you could use the stochastic programming in realizing the prescriptive approach in decision making and decision support. In these conditions you will resolve the qualitative human preferences based problems with mathematical exactness.
