Foreword
This proceedings volume of the 5th AOIS Workshop is an opportunity for looking
back at five years anizing AOIS workshops. What did we achieve with the
AOIS workshop series? Where were we five years ago, where are we now? Did
our theme impact on the information systems field in the way that we had hoped
for?
AOIS workshops have taken place in Seattle, Heidelberg, Stockholm, Austin,
Montréal, Interlaken, Toronto, Bologna, Melbourne, and Chicago, always in con-
junction with a major conference on either multiagent systems in artificial in-
telligence (AI/MAS) or information systems (IS). We have tried to innovate in
holding these workshops as biconference events (each year AOIS held two work-
shop events, one at an AI/MAS conference and one at an IS conference), as well
as using the AOIS web site as a medium munication among researchers.
So, certainly, we have reached a wide audience of researchers around the world
from both the AI/MAS and munities. But did we also manage to build
up a dedicated munity?
