Agent-Based & Artificial Intelligence IS Research Groups

Research on agent-based information systems complements scientific discovery in the wide field of agent-based methods and applications undertaken by many other highly reputed research groups of large organizations such as ACM, IEEE, and INFORMS.
Our list is sorted in alphabetic order. It is certainly incomplete and we apologize if we have not considered your effort. Please don't hesitate to bring any omissions to our attention.
The list has been compiled by Shaosong Ou, a Ph.D. student in IS at the USC Marshall School of Business. All materials are based on publicly available information on the respective Web sites.
