A Practical Agent Programming Language
This paper discusses the need for an effective and practical BDI-based agent-oriented programming language with formal semantics. It proposes an alternative by presenting the syntax and semantics of a programming language, called 2APL (A Practical Agent P

Preface
These are the post-proceedings of the International Workshop on Programming Multi-Agent Systems (ProMAS 2007), the fifth of a series of workshops that is attracting increasing attention from researchers and practitioners in multi-agent systems. Multi-agent systems (MAS) constitute a promising software development paradigm for complex and distributed applications. The aim of the ProMAS workshop series is to promote and contribute to the establishment of MAS as a mainstream approach to the development of industrial-strength software. In particular, ProMAS aims to address the technologies that are required for implementing multi-agent systems designs or specifications effectively. We promote the discussion and exchange of ideas on principles, concepts, requirements, techniques, and tools that are essential for programming approaches and technologies specifically devised for MAS. The idea of organizing the first workshop of the series was first discussed during the Dagstuhl seminar “Programming Multi-Agent Systems Based on Logic”, where the focus was on logic-based approaches. It was felt that the scope should
