About WESAAC

In 2024, the 18th edition of WESAAC will be held in person.

The Workshop-School on Agents, Environments, and Applications (WESAAC) aims to integrate researchers and students at all levels in Agents and Agent Systems and publicize the activities of the various research groups in Brazil, enabling the exchange of knowledge and experiences. The event consists of Workshops and Lectures given by experienced researchers and presentations of Full Papers and Extended Abstracts

Motivation

Modern computer systems are increasingly applied in complex scenarios such as Industry 4.0, smart cities, smart transportation systems, electronic business, bioinformatics, smart ambiance, and grid computing. These systems are expected to be autonomous, proactive, capable of timely reacting to changes, learning, and interacting with each other and even humans. Agents and Multi-Agent Systems provide a suitable computing paradigm to support the development of such systems.

Aims

The area of agent-based systems is widely known and has numerous papers published internationally every year. However, nationally there are few events in this area, and no other national event also provides tutorials and short courses specifically on the main topics of research within Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. WESAAC is, therefore, of great importance as a national event in this area, aiming to prepare future generations of Brazilian researchers and to disseminate the current projects of Brazilian researchers. Furthermore, WESAAC aims to be a forum for discussing work at all levels, including undergraduate, MSc, and PhD projects currently being conducted. Fundamentally, WESAAC is the best opportunity for Brazilian undergraduate and graduate students to attend courses by some of the most prominent researchers in this area worldwide.
