ASA/MA 2000 builds on the success of last year's first Joint Symposium ASA/MA '99, held in Palm Springs, which in turn continued the series of International Mobile Agents Workshops, MA'98 and MA'97. This year's symposium will take place in Zurich, Switzerland from September 13 to 15, 2000. It is organized by ETH Zurich, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. The technical program features a single technical track with 20 papers, which were selected from over 100 submissions from over two dozen countries.  A separate poster session on Thursday, September 14 (see Call for Poster Proposals below) will showcase additional late breaking results and work-in-progress.
