Agent concepts hold great promise for responding to the new realities of large-scale distributed systems. Multi-agent systems (MASs) and their underlying theories provide a more natural support for ensuring important agent properties, such as autonomy, environment heterogeneity, organization and openness. Nevertheless, a software agent is an inherently more complex abstraction, posing new challenges to software engineering. Without adequate development te- niques and methods, MASs will not be sufficiently dependable, thus making their wide adoption by the industry more difficult. The dependability of a computing system is its ability to deliver a service that can be justifiably trusted. It is a singular time for dependable distributed systems, since the traditional models we use to express the relationships between a computational process and its environment are changing from the standard deterministic types into ones that are more distributed and dynamic. This served as a guiding principle for planning the Software Engineering for Large-Scale Multi-Agent Systems (SELMAS 2006) workshop, starting with selecting the theme, ?building dependable multi-agent systems.? It acknowledges our belief in the increasingly vital role dependability plays as an essential element of MAS development. 410 0$aLecture notes in computer science.$pState-of-the-art survey ;$v4408. 606 $aSoftware engineering$vCongresses 606 $aIntelligent agents (Computer software)$vCongresses 615 0$aSoftware engineering 615 0$aIntelligent agents (Computer software) 676 $a006.3 702 $aChoren$b Ricardo 712 12$aSELMAS 2006$f(2006 :$eShanghai, China) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483237503321 996 $aSoftware Engineering for Multi-Agent Systems V$9772656 997 $aUNINA
