Agentlab Overview

The Intelligent Agent Laboratory (Agentlab) is an active research group conducted jointly between the Melbourne School of Engineering (Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering) and the Faculty of Science (Department of Information Systems).

The agentlab is located in the very livable city of Melbourne, founded in 1995, the Agentlab has a long history of research into intelligent agents and multi-agent systems development.

Over this period the Agentlab has generated a large body of agent-related publications. The Agentlab collaborates with international research groups and industry partners, including agent companies that operate in the vicinity of the University.
