WEIN 2016 - 6th International Workshop on Emergent Intelligence on Networked Agents

In this workshop we will discuss about the emergence of intelligence from large-scale complex networked agents. Our brain consists of 50 billion neurons and the neuron network causes emergence of our consciousness and intelligence. And, each human behavior and large-scale complex human network causes emergence of society and social economy. We can see many emergence phenomena like these among the real world.
In these cases, not only the dynamics of each neuron or human but also the "network dynamics" of these are important. The aim of this workshop is to investigate the role of networked agents in the emergence of systemic properties, notably emergent intelligence. Focus is on topics such as network formation among agents, the feedback of network structures on agentﾕs dynamics, network-based collective phenomena, and emergent problem solving of networked agents.
Currently, it seems that research on MAS is still mostly focused on agents themselves, whereas networks of agents have received relatively little attention. The rapid development of various technologies, including those in web intelligence, ubiquitous computing, sensor networks, and grid computing will, however, lead to systems consisting of a potentially very large number of agents. In these situations, the view of each agent is limited to its local environment, and the network in which the agents are embedded significantly affects the efficiency of the system. Thus, it is important to pay attention not only to agents themselves, but also to the structure and the dynamics of the network.
