The distributed, large-scale, and dynamic nature of the Internet has
created the need for new technologies that will allow users and
application developers to harness its potential. This is especially so
in emerging applications areas such as electronic commerce, virtual
enterprises, component-based software&nbsp; &amp; networked computing,
and network management. Of late, multiagent approaches, which let
disparate agents with differing capabilities ineteract to solve some
problem,&nbsp; have been proposed as the technology which can help
harness the potential of the internet. Such approaches typically allow
for scalability, permit software reuse, handle software evolution and
promote <i>open</i> systems. This minitrack will focus of multiagent
systems as they apply to the internet infrastructure in general, and
to networked computing, electronic commerce, and internet-based
applications in particular.
