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-22 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-22 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-22 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-22 will be held in Porto, Portugal (March 22 - 25, 2022) in conjunction with the
13th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks, and Technologies (ANT 2022).

Submission
==========

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

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 (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sarl22), 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.
