====================================================================Call 
for Papers =============== After the first successful 24 editions in 
Parma, Modena, Milano, Villasimius, Torino, Camerino, Catania, Genova, 
Palermo, Parma, Rimini, Rende, Milano, Torino, Catania, Napoli, Catania, 
Scilla, Palermo, Parma, Bologna (online) and Bologna, Genova, and Roma, 
the 25th edition of the Workshop “From Objects to Agents” (WOA) will be 
hosted by the University of Valle d’Aosta from July 7 to 10, 2024, at 
Bard (AO), in the beautiful location of Forte di Bard.The main topic for 
WOA 2024 is

Smart and Agile Agent Technologies for a Sustainable Model of 
Distributed WorkingThe COVID-19 pandemic has acted as an accelerator in 
the digitalization process of small-medium enterprises and public 
administrations, promoting new forms of hybrid/remote work. These call 
for the deployment of new process organizations and adequate 
infrastructures for dealing with novel challenges, including but not 
limited to the the transformation of leadership and control, the shift 
towards a goal-oriented organization of work (due to a reduction of the 
difference between employed and self-employed workers), the reduction of 
informal in-person interaction,  need of support to find an appropriate 
life/work balance, well-being, security, life-long learning.

Agent systems and technologies can provide valuable support in shaping a 
new and sustainable working model at multiple levels: economic, but also 
technological, environmental, and social.


WOA 2024 will bring together researchers in the intersection of 
Multi-Agent Systems, Human-Agent Interaction, (Distributed and 
Collaborative) Business Processes, and Process Mining to discuss these 
issues and to suggest solutions and future research questions that could 
help organizations and workers in this transformation process.



Topics of Interest: Multi-Agent Systems, agent theory and technology 
related to AI, Human-Agent Interaction, Software Engineering techniques 
for agents and Business Process, Collaborative Business Processes, and 
Process Mining, Socio-Technical Systems.The following topics are also
