  abstract = {This chapter focusses on the relevancy of implementations of software
systems in which agent technology was actually used in agent-oriented
conferences and journals. It discusses the discrepancy between the
stated aims of agent research with regard to agent applications,
and the reality as found in many (general) agent conferences as well
as journals. We demonstrate this discrepancy by analysing how implementations
of software systems that employed agent technology are represented
in publications, both in form of conference as well as journal papers.
We analyse some agent related conferences and journals, and look
at the distribution of application papers at past conferences/journal
issues. In order to lay foundations for a discussion of the reasons
for this inconsistency as well as conclusions that can be drawn from
it, we analyse relevant stakeholders for agent application papers.
The aim of this chapter is to provide a basis for discussing the
state and status of agent applications in research oriented conferences
and journals.},
