Smart and Agile Agent Technologies for a Sustainable Model of Distributed Working
The COVID-19 pandemic has acted as an accelerator in the digitalization process of small-medium enterprises and public administrations, promoting new forms of hybrid/remote work. These call for the deployment of new process organizations and adequate infrastructures for dealing with novel challenges, including but not limited to the the transformation of leadership and control, the shift towards a goal-oriented organization of work (due to a reduction of the difference between employed and self-employed workers), the reduction of informal in-person interaction, need of support to find an appropriate life/work balance, well-being, security, life-long learning.
Agent systems and technologies can provide valuable support in shaping a new and sustainable working model at multiple levels: economic, but also technological, environmental, and social.
WOA 2024 will bring together researchers in the intersection of Multi-Agent Systems, Human-Agent Interaction, (Distributed and Collaborative) Business Processes, and Process Mining to discuss these issues and to suggest solutions and future research questions that could help organizations and workers in this transformation process.
