    This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Declarative Agent Languages and Technologies, DALT 2005, held in Utrecht, The Netherlands in July 2005 as an associated event of AAMAS 2005, the main international conference on autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. The 14 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on agent programming and beliefs, architectures and logic programming, knowledge representation and reasoning, and coordination and model checking

    The 3rd International Workshop on Declarative Agent Languages and Technologies (DALT 2005) was held as part of the workshop programme of the 4th International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS 2005) in Utrecht, the Netherlands, in July 2005. Building complex agent systems calls for models and technologies that ensure predictability, enable feature discovery, allow for the verification of properties, and guarantee flexibility. Developing technologies that can satisfy these requirements is still an important and difficult challenge. Here, declarative approaches have the potential of offering valuable means for satisfying the needs for both specifying and developing multi-agent systems. Following the success of DALT 2003 in Melbourne and DALT 2004 in New York, this year's edition aimed, again, at providing a discussion forum to both (i) support the transfer of declarative paradigms and techniques to the broader community of agent researchers and practitioners, and (ii) to bring the issue of designing complex agent systems to the attention of researchers working on declarative programming and technologies.

    WOA 2004 dagli Oggetti agli Agenti Sistemi Complessi e Agenti Razionali Dipartimento di Informatica Università degli Studi di Torino Torino, 29 novembre 2004 – 1 dicembre 2004 URL: http://woa04.unito.it, E-mail: [email protected] Il Gruppo di lavoro "Sistemi ad Agente e Multiagente" dell'Associazione Italiana per l'Intelligenza Artificiale (AI*IA) e l'Associazione Italiana Tecnologie Avanzate Basate su concetti Orientati ad Oggetti (TABOO) in collaborazione con il Dipartimento di Informatica dell'Università degli Studi di Torino, gruppo di lavoro "Logic Programming and Automated Reasoning", organizzano un workshop sul tema Sistemi Complessi e Agenti Razionali che si terrà a Torino il 30 novembre 2004 e il 1 dicembre 2004. Il workshop sarà preceduto (29 novembre 2004) da una giornata di tutorial orientata a studenti di dottorato e neolaureati. Scopo Le tecnologie degli agenti stanno assumendo un ruolo centrale non solo nel settore dell’intelligenza artificiale, ma anche in settori più tradizionali dell’informatica quali l’ingegneria del software e i linguaggi di programmazione, dove il concetto di agente viene considerato una naturale estensione di quello di oggetto. L’importanza di queste tecniche è dimostrata anche in ambito industriale dall’interesse per il loro utilizzo nella realizzazione di strumenti e applicazioni in molteplici aree.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
