Editorial

Software agents are computer programs that are able to perform autonomous
and independent actions. Due to substantial progress during the last years in
the area of (distributed) artificial intelligence (AI), software agents have been
successfully applied in problems of the domain of engineering sciences such as
sensor management, planning operations, image processing, etc.
Relevant topics are (but are not limited to):
• application-oriented analysis of benefits, limitations, and risks of using
software agents,
• experimental and analytical analysis on the performance and scalability
of software agents and multi agent systems,
• comparison of agent-based systems with other AI approaches in the
context of real-world applications,
• agent-based and application-oriented coordination, communication, and
interaction strategies,
• safety and security aspects/applications of software agents.

The objective of this special issue is to offer a collection of high-quality

contributions that reflect and advance the state-of-the art in the application of
software agents to solve real-world problems. This special issue is focused on
how (industrial rather than academic) problems of engineering may be faced by
AI techniques involving the use of autonomous agents.
