The aim of PRIMA2004 is to bring together Asian and Pacific Rim researchers and developers from academia and industry to report on the latest technical advances or domain applications and to discuss and explore scientific and practical problems as raised by the participants. The workshop welcomes submissions describing both theoretical and applied research in autonomous agents and multi-agent systems.

PRIMA2004 introduces two new strands to the PRIMA workshop:

1. A new theme of biologically inspired multi-agent systems.
2. A RoboCup Rescue Simulation competition, Rescue Middle-Earth.

Rescue Middle-Earth will be held immediately after the workshop, 11-13 August, 2004.

Directions for getting from the Sheraton Hotel to the PRIMA 2004 Agent School on August 8 are as follows.

Go out the main entrance of the Sheraton onto Symonds St. Turn left and walk down Symonds St towards the harbour. You will go past two sets of traffic lights on the way. The University of Auckland is located just past the second set of lights.

It gets a little tricky here: Just past the lights there is a bridge over the motorway offramp and two roads heading down the hill to the left. Take the second of these roads - it runs next to the Chemistry building which is the big ugly lump of concrete on the corner of Symonds St and Wellesley St. About halfway down there is a small carpark on the right (Carpark 40). Walk through the carpark and enter the Computer Science building on your left, opposite the ramp. You will be in the basement so take the lift to the second floor. The Agent School is being held in the seminar room, 279, which is directly opposite the lift on the second floor.
