<b>About the Special Issue</b></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px">
After more than 20 years from the very first attempts at using software agents as building blocks of complex software systems, as advocated by relevant international initiatives like FIPA and by a significant body of literature, we witness today high-profile
applications of software agents, even if agent-based software development cannot be considered common practice. The special issue is intended to represent a milestone in the research on software agents and agent-based software development by clearly identifying
current trends and hot topics, and by providing a informed outlook on the future of discussed themes.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px">
The special issue targets high-quality papers discussing relevant topics for the current research on software agents and agent-based systems. Submissions to the special issue may be in one of the following forms of papers that the journal accepts: original
research papers, surveys on areas of particular interest to the community, and viewpoints offering perspectives on the future of software agents and agent-based software development.</p>
