Preface
PAAMS, the International Conference on Practical Applications of Agents and
Multi-Agent Systems, is an evolution of the International Workshop on Prac-
tical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. PAAMS is an interna-
tional yearly event with a platform to present, to discuss, and to disseminate
the latest developments and the most important outcomes related to real-world
applications. It provides a unique opportunity to bring multi-disciplinary ex-
perts, academics,and practitioners together to exchangetheir experience in the
development of agents and multi-agent systems.
ThePAAMSWorkshopscomplementtheregularprogramwithneworemerg-
ing trends of particular interest connected to multi-agent systems.
This volume presents the papers that were accepted for the 2013workshops:
WorkshoponAgent-basedApproachesfortheTransportationModelingandOp-
timization, Workshop on Agent-Based Solutions for Manufacturing and Sup-
plyChain,WorkshoponUser-CentricTechnologiesandApplications,Workshop
on Conflict Resolution in Decision Making, Workshop on Multi-Agent System-
Based Learning Environments, Workshop on Multi-Agent-Based Applications
forSustainableEnergySystems,WorkshoponAgentsandMulti-AgentSystems
for AAL and e-HEALTH.
We would like to thank all the contributing authors as well as the members
of the Program Committees of the workshops and the Organizing Committee
for their hard and highly valuable work. Their work contributed to the success
of the PAAMS 2013 event. Thank you for your help – PAAMS 2013 would not
have been possible without your contribution.
