which can help harness the potential of the internet. Such approaches typically
allow for scalability, permit software reuse, handle software evolution
and promote open 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. Topics of interest include
