Abstract

This extended abstract summarizes the invited talk with the corresponding title at the AGERE! workshop at SPLASH'12. It describes a history of 20 years of research in agent programming, viewed from the perspective of the author. This perspective is naturally influenced by the author's own research on cognitive agent programming languages. We do not aim for a comprehensive description or claim that this is provided by this extended abstract or the talk. Rather the aim is to highlight several important developments in the field, providing a general idea of the types of issues investigated in agent-oriented programming, targeted at researchers from other fields of computer science.
