RESUME
The fundamental turn of software into concurrency and distribution is not only a matter of
performance, but also of design and abstraction, calling for programming paradigms that would
allow more naturally than the current ones to think, design, develop, execute, debug and profile
programs exhibiting different degrees of concurrency, reactiveness, autonomy, decentralization of
control, distribution. This workshop aims at exploring programming approaches explicitly providing
a level of abstraction that promotes a decentralized mindset in solving problems and programming
systems. To this end, the abstractions of agents and actors (and systems of agents and actors)  are
taken as a natural reference: the objective of the workshop is then to foster the research in all
aspects of agent-oriented programming and actor-oriented programming as evolution of mainstream
paradigms (such as OOP), including the theory and the practice of design and programming, bringing
together researchers working on the models, languages and technologies, and practitioners developing
real-world systems and applications.
