The International Journal of Agent Technologies and Systems (IJATS) focuses on all aspects of agents and multi-agent systems, with a particular emphasis on how to modify established learning techniques and create new learning paradigms to address the many challenges presented by complex real-world problems. The journal serves as an inclusive forum for discussion of theoretical and practical issues of intelligent agent technologies and multi-agent systems while bringing together scientists from different areas of computer science as well as researchers from various fields studying similar concepts.
Mission & Scope:
The mission of the International Journal of Agent Technologies and Systems (IJATS) is to disseminate and discuss high quality research on emerging technologies and successful systems based on the agent and multiagent paradigms.

The mission of the International Journal of Agent Technologies and Systems (IJATS) is to disseminate and discuss high quality research on emerging technologies and successful systems based on the agent and multiagent paradigms. It features innovative findings from various fields of science, engineering, and technology. IJATS is an interdisciplinary journal that brings together researchers from academia, industry, and the government to discuss conceptual issues and implementation of issues using the agent approach in solving real-life problems. As a medium of communication among those researchers and practitioners with interest, the journal explores the benefits of the concepts, simulations, constructions, and applications of agency theories beyond disciplinary boundaries.

However, through Green OA, IGI Global supports a Fair Use Policy, enabling authors to Post the final
typeset PDF (which includes the title page, table of contents and other front materials, and the copyright
statement) of their chapter or article (NOT THE ENTIRE BOOK OR JOURNAL ISSUE), on the author or
editor's secure personal website and/or their university repository site. See the Fair Use Policy for sharing allowances conducive to Green Open Access.
- Open Access Publishing: If the author choses to publish under OA, the authors receive the
Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licensing arrangement. The copyright for the
work remains solely with the author(s) of the article. Others may distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon

Reviews and Testimonials
"This journal provides an opportunity to publish novel results on interesting phenomena of emergent behavior and self-organization in population of agents, and it motivates us to deliberately design new forms of artificial intelligence, embedded in virtual or physical agents, that may eventually be brought to coexistence with biological life."
– Lubica Benuskova, the author of the successful book "Computational Neurogenetic Modeling"
