AGENTS VICThe Agents-in-Melbourne group was formed in 1998 to foster R&D collaboration between industry and research groups using intelligent software agents. Meetings were traditionally held on the last Friday of every month, with notice by email. As of May 2007, group communication has now moved to Google Groups. Currently the group has over 100 registered members and meets on the last Friday of every second month, alternating venues between RMIT University and the University of Melbourne.
Please contact the RMIT Agents group for further information or request membership to our google group if you wish to be involved.
