   The UMBC software agents mailing list is one of the oldest resources   
   of information on agents and multiagent systems. It was started in   
   1994 by Ray Johnson, then at the Lockheed Palo Alto AI Center and   
   moved to UMBC in 1996. This week it upgraded its support   
   infrastructure from Majordomo to GNU Mailman. Majordomo represented   
   the state of the art for mailing list software in 1996, but   
   development stopped sometime around 2001. Moving to Mailman will make   
   it easier for us to maintain the list and let the ~1500 subscribers   
   manage a wider range of their subscription options.   
      
   Topics of interest for the agents mailing list include: agent   
   architectures, agent communication, agent learning, evolution, and   
   adaptation, agent norms and trust, agent ontologies, agent-oriented   
   software engineering, autonomic computing, autonomy, believable   
   agents, cognitive agent models, cooperative distributed problem   
   solving, electronic markets and institutions, embodied agents,   
   emergent behavior, ethical and legal issues, FIPA standards, formal   
   agent models, interface agents, MAS planning and learning, mechanism   
   design, auctions, and game theory, mobile agents, multiagent systems,   
   pervasive computing, agent-oriented robotics, simulation systems, and   
   standardization efforts.   
      
   The agents list welcomes new subscribers who can sign up at the
