In this workshop we will discuss about the emergence of intelligence
from large-scale complex networked agents. Our brain consists of 50
billion neurons and the neuron network causes emergence of our
consciousness and intelligence. And, each human behavior and
large-scale complex human network causes emergence of society. We can
see many emergence phenomena like these among the real world.
In these cases, not only the dynamics of each neuron or human but also
the "network dynamics" of these are important. The aim of this
workshop is to investigate the role of networked agents in the
emergence of systemic properties, notably emergent intelligence. Focus
is on topics such as network formation among agents, the feedback of
network structures on agent's dynamics, network-based collective
phenomena, and emergent problem solving of networked agents.
Up to now, main interest of agent community is the dynamics of agent
itself. But, in the current rapidly growing Internet like WWW and
social media like twitter, facebook, etc., studies about the complex
network are attracting international attention. And studies about
complex network are deeply related to multi agent community. So, the
ultimate target of this workshop is to bridge between multi agent
community and complex system community.
Currently, it seems that research on MAS is still mostly focused on
agents themselves, whereas networks of agents have received relatively
little attention. The rapid development of various technologies,
including those in web intelligence, ubiquitous computing, sensor
networks, and grid computing will, however, lead to systems consisting
of a potentially very large number of agents. In these situations, the
view of each agent is limited to its local environment, and the
efficiency of the system is significantly affected by the network in
which the embedded agents. Thus, it is important to pay attention not
only to agents themselves, but also to the structure and the dynamics
of the network.
