SARL-20 provides an</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">international forum to present and discuss the latest scientific developments and</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">their effective applications, to assess the impact of the approach, and to facilitate</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">technology transfer.</div><br><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">SARL workshop was born with the SARL agent programming language, but the scientific results</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">presented in SARL-20 are not restricted to SARL; other languages and agent platforms may</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">be presented.</div><br><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">SARL aims at providing the fundamental abstractions for dealing with concurrency,</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">distribution, interaction, decentralization, reactivity, autonomy and dynamic</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">reconfiguration. These high-level features are now considered as the major</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">requirements for an easy and practical implementation of modern complex software</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">applications. We are convinced that the agent-oriented paradigm holds the keys to</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">effectively meet these features. Considering the variety of existing approaches and</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">meta-models in the field of agent-oriented engineering and more generally multi-agent</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
