AAAT (Agent based Applications for Air Transport) is a Workshop at PAAMS: International Conference on Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems.
The aim of the AAAT Workshop is to foster the discussion on issues concerning the development of Intelligent Agents for real Air Transportation problems, including Disruption Management, Airline Operations Control, Air Traffic Management and Control, Airport Logistics, etc. Agents are, by definition, autonomous entities enable to react and adapt to changes in a complex, distributed and dynamic environment as it is the case of Air Transportation. Intelligent Agents seems to be an appropriate methodology to apply in the Air Transportation domain, since involved entities, represented by agents, can reach their ultimate goals and intentions through autonomic decision-making as well as by including features representing their own problem-solving intelligent capabilities.
On the basis of theories and methodologies borrowed from a wide spectrum of disciplines, such as the Social Sciences, Distributed Computing, Artificial Intelligence and Multi-agent Systems, and many others, many important issues arise which challenge and motivate many researchers and practitioners from multidisciplinary fields, as well as different technical and scientific communities. We encourage and welcome contributions reporting on how the scientific community and practitioners are using Agents and Multi Agent Systems techniques and methodologies to address real Air Transportation problems. This includes theoretical and/or applied research as well as applications.
