Résumé: The International Workshop on Agent-based Computing for Enterprise Collaboration (ACEC) is an annual international forum that brings together researchers and practitioners to discuss state-of-the-art research, key issues, innovative ideas and applications in the dynamic and evolving area of agent-based computing. Already in its 8th year the ACEC workshop continues to be a popular and acclaimed event in the agent-based community. This year the ACEC workshop will concentrate on two main themes: (a) Agent-based Services (b)Agent-based Solutions for Dynamic Collaborations.

These two themes represent important areas where software agents can leverage their distributed nature along with their proactive and autonomous characteristics to provide solutions for complex problems which are difficult to address using traditional/existing technologies.

With the popularity and pervasiveness of services in the emerging digital world, enterprises must carefully evaluate how to make their services openly accessible. Furthermore, it is important for enterprises to learn how to exploit the services of others while taking into account the unexpected circumstances and changing scenarios, which frequently occur in business ecosystems.

In both of these (above given) contexts, software agents can play an important role. In this respect, we enthusiastically solicit papers that address agent mediation and management of services and/or products of on-line businesses.
