*** ABOUT
The ProMAS workshop series aims to address the theoretical and practical
programming issues related to developing and deploying multi-agent
systems. In particular, ProMAS aims to address how multi-agent systems
designs or specifications can be effectively implemented. In its
previous editions, ProMAS constituted an invaluable occasion bringing
together leading researchers from both academia and industry to discuss
issues on the design of programming languages and tools for multi-agent
systems. In particular, the workshop promotes the discussion and
exchange of ideas concerning the techniques, concepts, requirements, and
principles that are important for multi-agent programming technology.
These include the theory and applications of agent programming
languages, the verification and analysis of agent systems, as well as
the implementation of social structure in agent-based systems (e.g.
roles within organizations, coordination and communication in
multi-agent systems).


*** INVITED SPEAKERS

Demo Session
Reflection Session
	The reflection session consists of a presentation followed by a
	discussion among participants. The presentation provides a
	concise overview of the state of art in multi-agent programming
	and related development tools, pitfalls, problems, perspectives,
	milestones, activities, and possible collaboration and community
	initiatives.
