Focus and Scope
The Journal of Pysical Agents (JoPha) looks for contributions describing scientific works in all areas that use agent-based technologies concepts, especially industrial applications, robotics and domotics (physical agents) and applications related to the information society, (software agents) highlighting the similarities and synergies among physical and software agents. We understand that physical agents applications are mainly orientated to the control, coordination and planning of autonomous systems: industrial or mobile robots, industrial processes, domotics and complex systems. Contributions can also be related to educational aspects of the above mentioned technologies.
Manuscripts intended for publication in the Journal of Physical Agents should be written in English and sent to one of the editors. JoPhA publishes scientific papers that should reflect original, previously unplubished work, and not simultaneously under consideration for publication elsewhere. The manuscript, if accepted, will be disseminated to the readers. It is the responsability of the authors to obtain written permission of the material used in the article previously published.
