This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Industrial Applications of Holonic and Multi-Agent Systems, HoloMAS 2005, held in Copenhagen, Denmark in August 2005.
The 23 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on theoretical and methodological issues, algorithms and technologies, implementation and validation aspects, applications, and supply chain management.
