Multi-Agent Rationality

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th European Workshop on Modelling Autonomous Agents in a Multi-Agent World, MAAMAW'97, held in Ronneby, Sweden, in May 1997. MAAMAW'97 is devoted to multi-agent rationality, thus reflecting the fact that there is presently a transition in the multi-agent community from the study of individual rationality to the study of group rationality. The volume presents 15 revised full papers selected from a total of 51 submissions; also included are the abstracts of three invited talks. The volume covers all current issues in multi-agent rationality.
