Preface

Computational Logic in Multi-Agent Systems (CLIMA) is a series of workshops aimed at promoting activity and exchange in the intersection of two vivid research areas. Since 2000, CLIMA has provided an opportunity to researchers to present their work on the application of general and declarative theories grounded on computational logic to multi-agent systems specification, semantics and procedures, and to confront ideas such as autonomy, deliberation, knowledge, commitment, openness, and trust with the computational logic paradigms. This research has encouraged the use of formal approaches to multi-agent systems research, and it has dealt with disparate issues such as implementations, environments, tools, and verification of computational systems. The sixth edition of CLIMA was held at City University London, UK, on June 27–29, 2005. The workshop lasted three days and included an invited lecture by Robert A. Kowalski (Imperial College London) based on his last book. Sixty delegates from 15 countries (UK, Italy, France, Japan, Norway, The Netherlands, Cyprus, Germany, Canada, Ireland, Lithuania, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland) attended the three-day event. Many of them were students.
