   Intelligent Agent Architectures: Combining the Strengths of Software   
   Engineering and Cognitive Systems   
      
   We invite research and position papers from people interested in the   
   development of intelligent agent architectures that build on existing   
   traditions and expertise in cognitive systems, intelligent systems, and   
   software engineering.   
      
   The Intelligent Agent Architectures: Combining the Strengths of Software   
   Engineering and Cognitive Systems workshop will focus on issues in the   
   development of intelligent agent architectures that combine the   
   functional structures and mechanisms of cognitive architectures with the   
   software engineering principles that have been applied in various types   
   of agent systems. Workshop presentations and discussions will focus on   
   developing a common vision for agent architecture frameworks that allow   
   for the categorization, evaluation, and comparison of advanced agent   
   architectures in a unified way. Such frameworks will aid the development   
   of agent systems with human-level capabilities that incorporate   
   significant amounts of knowledge.  These frameworks will also facilitate   
   the rapid development and efficient maintenance of knowledge-intensive   
   agent models.   
      
      
   Topics   
      
   We invite position papers (2 to 6 pages in length) from all members of   
   the research and engineering community who have experience and ideas   
   relevant to developing such frameworks. In order to help translate   
   current experience into formal engineering advances, papers will ideally   
   include analytical descriptions of particular data structures and   
   processes supported by one or more agent/cognitive architectures,   
   include comments and descriptions of how to compare and evaluate   
   architectures, and/or comment on experiences or methods for applying   
   software engineering principles to knowledge-intensive intelligent agents.   
      
   We particularly encourage the participation of active researchers and   
   developers in cognitive science, intelligent agents, and software   
   engineering, and we most strongly encourage participants with experience   
   in two or more of these areas.
