Abstract

The discipline of agent technology is becoming a mature research area, both from a scientific and an engineering perspective. Strong theoretical and empirical analysis, together with practical experience of deploying systems to solve real problems, give this community the opportunity to make an impact in the world of business. At UKMAS'98, a panel of academics and industrialists met to discuss exactly how this could be done; how could agents and multi-agent systems be used to actually make money?
