***********************************************************

The  aim  of the CLIMA workshop series is to bring together
interested  researchers  from  CL and MAS, and to give them
the  opportunity  to show how the integration of techniques
from  both  areas can lead to interesting results on a wide
range of complex problems and domains.

A  secondary  aim of CLIMA is to provide an opportunity for
students  to  learn  more  about  state-of-the-art research
achievements in logic-based intelligent agent programming.

Finally,  CLIMA  attempts to stimulate research in the area
of  multi-agent  systems  by  identifying  key problems and
collecting suitable benchmarks that can serve as milestones
for  testing new approaches and techniques from CL.

To these ends, CLIMA VI will host a rich tutorial programme
and  the  First  CLIMA  competition,  where logic-based MAS
solutions will be confronted, and the role of benchmarks in
logic-based MAS research will be explored.

The CLIMA VI program is now public:

**                 Tutorial Programme                    **
**       http://clima.deis.unibo.it/tutorials.html       **
***********************************************************

CLIMA VI  is  pleased  to  offer  to  all participants free
access  to  the tutorial programme, consisting of six talks
given  by  keynote  speakers,  to  provide an wide spectrum
overview of CL-based MAS research.

***********************************************************

We  especially  welcome  students  to  attend!   Thanks  to
sponsorship  by  SOCS, ALP and AgentLink III, CLIMA VI will
offer   a  limited  number  of  grants  to  cover  part  of
registration fee, travel, and accommodation expenses.

**            SOCS Dissemination Workshop                **

***********************************************************

CLIMA VI  will  be  held  in conjunction with the EU-funded
FP5  SOCS  project  dissemination  workshop.   Besides  two
tutorials  on  SOCS-based  agent  programming,  we  plan to
dedicate  a  session  to  discussing  about the results and
achievements of a three years project on logic programming-
based MAS.
