Description 
=========== 

Research on Agents and Multi-Agent Systems has matured during the last decade and many 
effective applications of this technology are now deployed. SARL-21 provides an 
international forum to present and discuss the latest scientific developments and 
their effective applications, to assess the impact of the approach, and to facilitate 
technology transfer. 

SARL workshop was born with the SARL agent programming language, but the scientific results 
presented in SARL-20 are not restricted to SARL; other languages and agent platforms may 
be presented. 

SARL aims at providing the fundamental abstractions for dealing with concurrency, 
distribution, interaction, decentralization, reactivity, autonomy and dynamic 
reconfiguration. These high-level features are now considered as the major 
requirements for an easy and practical implementation of modern complex software 
applications. We are convinced that the agent-oriented paradigm holds the keys to 
effectively meet these features. Considering the variety of existing approaches and 
meta-models in the field of agent-oriented engineering and more generally multi-agent 
systems, our approach remains as generic as possible and highly extensible to easily 
integrate new concepts and features. 

The goal of SARL-21 is to provide a place where the different points of view on the 
modeling and the simulation with agent platforms and agent programming languages may be 
discussed. 

SARL-21 will be held in Warsaw, Poland (March 23 - 26, 2021) in conjunction with the 
12th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks, and Technologies (ANT 2021) and 
the European SarlCon 2021.

* Final date for camera-ready copy: January 27, 2021 
* Workshop: March 23-26, 2021 


Submission 
========== 

All workshop accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings published by 
Elsevier Science in the open-access Procedia Computer Science series on-line. 

The submitted paper must be formatted according to the guidelines of Procedia Computer 
Science, Elsevier. You are invited to submit full length papers in PDF format on 
EasyChair, not exceeding 6 pages in length, in single-column format including diagrams 
and references while following the Procedia Computer Science guidelines. Papers that do 
not follow these guidelines may be rejected without consideration of their merits. 

All papers will be reviewed by at least two Program Committee members on the basis 
of technical quality, originality, clarity, and relevance to the track topics 
listed above. At least one author of each paper must attend the workshop to present 
the paper.
