***** IMPORTANT DATES *****
- Submission Deadline: March 11, 2019
- Acceptance Notification: May 24, 2019
- Camera-ready copies: June 08, 2019


***** PUBLICATION *****
All accepted conference papers will be published in the conference
proceedings in “Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence” (LNAI) series
by Springer Verlag.


***** SCOPE *****
Holonic and multi-agent systems provide a novel paradigm for managing,
modelling and supporting complex systems. This concept has proved to be
successful in a number of industrial domains such as manufacturing,
real-time control, supply chain management, logistics, production
planning and scheduling, air traffic control, smart grids, and others.
Multi-agent systems play the role of a key technology in the field of
future manufacturing within the frame of the Industrie 4.0 visions.

The conference aims to bring together researchers active in the area of
Holonic and Multi-agent Systems, Service-Oriented Architectures,
Knowledge-based System Integration as well as Cyber-Physical Systems,
together with key engineers and industrial decision makers to share
their views and experience in design, development and application of
Holonic and Multi-agent Systems for Industry 4.0 solutions.


***** TOPICS *****
Suggested topics (but not limited to):
- Theoretical backgrounds behind holonic/agent concepts
- General approaches to the networked and adaptive Complex Systems
- Industrial applications of multi-agent systems and service-oriented
architectures in Industrie 4.0 (case-studies are specially appreciated)
as well as applications in smart grids, smart cities, and flexible
logistics
- Design principles, methodologies and applications of Cyber-Physical
Systems
- Design principles and methodologies for flexible production planning
and scheduling
- Specification of holonic, agent-based, and service-oriented
architectures and design methodologies including approaches for their
fusion and system integration
- Semantic Web technologies, Knowledge Ontologies and Big Data in
agent-based and SOA-based industrial systems
- Communication principles and standards
- Virtual organizations & holonic factories – reconfigurable factories
- Modeling and simulation tools
- Reconfiguration tasks, coalition formation
- Novel application areas (health-care, environmental protection,
government, humanitarian missions, smart grids and smart cities, Energy
4.0)
- Visions and future trends of multi-agent systems and SOA-based
architectures in the Industrie 4.0 visions
- Standardization issues, security issues, industrial and logistic needs
in security and standardization
- Obstacles and barriers to industrial deployment
- Validation and testing approaches and methods for complex intelligent,
industrial systems

As a part of the HoloMAS 2019 Conference, a Special Interdisciplinary
Session on Complex Adaptive Systems will be organized.
Special Session Complex Adaptive Systems; Chaired by Prof. George
Rzevski, The Open University, UK
Papers concerned with constructing complex adaptive systems using
multi-agent technology are particularly welcome. More details visit
