Abstract

The development of multi-agent systems (MAS) is nota trivial task. In addition, with the advances in Internettechnologies, MAS are undergoing a transition from closedto open architectures composed of a huge number of autonomousagents, which operate and move across differentenvironments. In fact, openness introduces additional complexityto the system modeling, design and implementation.It also impacts on most quality attributes of MAS, includingscalability, interoperability, reliability and adaptability.This workshop brings together researchers and practitionersto discuss the current state and future direction of researchin software engineering for open MAS. A particularinterest is to understand those issues in the agent technologythat make it difficult and/or improve the production oflarge open systems.
