Engineering Self-Organising Systems

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Engineering Self-Organising Applications, ESOA 2005, held in Utrecht, The Netherlands in July 2005 as an associated event of AAMAS 2005.The 12 revised full papers and 6 revised short papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from 25 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on novel self-organising mechanisms, methodologies, models and tools for self-organising applications, and specific applications of self-organising mechanisms.
