Holonic and multi–agent systems provide a novel paradigm for managing, modelling and supporting complex systems. This concept has proved to be successful in number of industrial domains such as manufacturing, real–time control, supply chain management, resource allocation and production planning/scheduling, air traffic.<br>The conference aims to bring together researchers active in the area of holonic and multi–agent systems together with key engineers and industrial decision makers to share their views and experience in design, development and applying holonic and multi–agent systems for industrial problems. <b>Keywords:</b> Theoretical backgrounds behind holonic/agent concepts<br>Industrial applications of holonic and multi–agent systems (case–studies are specially appreciated)<br>Specification of holonic and agent–based architectures and design methodologies<br>Differences and similarities between the concept of holons and agents<br>Communication principles and standards<br>Virtual organisations & holonic factories – reconfigurable factories<br>Agent–based system integration<br>Modelling and simulation tools<br>Reconfiguration tasks, coalition formation, knowledge ontologies<br>Novel application areas (health–care, environmental protection, government, humanitarian missions)<br>Visions and future trends of holonic and multi–agent systems<br>Standardization issues, security issues, industrial needs<br>Obstacles and barriers to industrial applicability
