This Book Constitutes The Refereed Proceedings Of The International Central And European Conference On Multi-agent Systems, Ceemas 2003, Held In Prague, Czech Republic In June 2003. The 58 Revised Full Papers Presented Together With 3 Invited Contributions Were Carefully Reviewed And Selected From 109 Submissions. The Papers Are Organized In Topical Sections On Formal Methods, Social Knowledge And Meta-reasoning, Negotiation, And Policies, Ontologies And Languages, Planning, Coalitions, Evolution And Emergent Behaviour, Platforms, Protocols, Security, Real-time And Synchronization, Industrial Applications, E-business And Virtual Enterprises, And Web And Mobile Agents.
