This volume contains the postproceedings of the 1st International
Workshop on Computational Autonomy - Potential, Risks, Solutions
(AUTONOMY 2003), held at the 2nd International Joint Conference on
Autonomous Agents and
Multi-agentSystems(AAMAS2003),July14,2003,Melbourne,Australia.Apart
from revised versions of the accepted workshop papers, we have
included invited contributions from leading experts in the ?eld.
With this, the present volume represents the ?rst comprehensive
survey of the state-of-the-art of research on autonomy, capturing
di?erent theories of autonomy, perspectives on autonomy in di?erent
kinds of agent-based systems, and practical approaches to dealing
with agent autonomy. Agent orientation refers to a software
development perspective that has evolved in the past 25 years in
the ?elds of computational agents and multiagent systems. The basic
notion underlying this perspective is that of a computational
agent, that is, an entity whose behavior deserves to be called
?exible, social, and autonomous. As an autonomous entity, an agent
possesses action choice and is at least to some extent capable of
deciding and acting under self-control. Through its emphasis on
autonomy, agent orientation signi?cantly di?ers from traditional
engineering perspectives such as structure orientation or object o-
entation. These perspectives are targeted on the development of
systems whose behavior is fully determined and controlled by
external units (e.g., by a p- grammer at design time and/or a user
at run time), and thus inherently fail to capture the notion of
autonomy.
