Since the 1980s, software agents and multi-agent systems have grown
into what is now one of the most active areas of research and
development activity in computing generally. One of the most
important reasons for the current intensity of interest in the
agent-based computing paradigm certainly is that the concept of an
agent as an autonomous system, capable of interacting with other
agents in order to satisfy its design objectives, is a natural one
for software designers. This recognition has led to the growth of
interest in agents as a new paradigm for software
engineering.

This book reflects the state of the art in the field by presenting
14 revised full papers accepted for the second workshop on this
topic, AOSE 2001, together with five invited survey articles. The
book offers topical sections on societies and organizations,
protocols and interaction frameworks, UML and agent systems,
agent-oriented requirements capture and specification, and analysis
and design.
