Software agent technologies reached level of maturity that allows development of applications spanning from lab prototypes to mature real-life systems, in domains that could have not been imagined before. Furthermore, software agent technologies proved their usefulness in synergy with methods of intelligent computing and artificial intelligence. The aim of the Special Issue is to contribute to the advancement of technologies and applications of software agents.

The Special Issue welcomes papers addressing research and experience reports on various applications of software agents. The topics of the issue cover, broadly understood, software agent and intelligent technologies connected to applications and experiences in areas like (the list is not exhaustive):

- business
- social networks
- e-learning
- grid and cloud computing
- gaming
- smart environments
