About EMAS
The workshop on Engineering Multi-Agent Systems was formed as a merger of three existing workshops:
- Agent Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE)
- Declarative Agent Languages and Technologies (DALT)
- Programming Multiagent Systems (ProMAS)
EMAS was founded in 2012 at the Dagstuhl seminar “Engineering Multi-Agent Systems”, which most of the Steering Committee members of the three former workshops were attending.
Steering Committee
EMAS was originally overseen by a merged steering committee from the three parent workshops, which then expanded:
- Matteo Baldoni (email) (DALT; Italy)
- Rafael Bordini (email) (ProMAS; Brazil)
- Amit Chopra (email) (United Kingdom)
- Andrei Ciortea (email) (Switzerland)
- Mehdi Dastani (email) (ProMAS; Netherlands)
- Jürgen Dix (email) (ProMAS; Germany)
- Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni (email) (ProMAS; France)
- Brian Logan (email) (Netherlands)
- Jörg P. Müller (email) (AOSE; Germany)
- Alessandro Ricci (email) (Italy)
- John Thangarajah (email) (Australia)
- Michael Winikoff (email) (DALT & AOSE; New Zealand)
- Rym Zalila-Wenkstern (email) (USA)
Former members:
- Paolo Giorgini (email) (AOSE; Italy)
- Ingrid Nunes(email) (Brazil)
- Tran Cao Son (email) (DALT; USA)
- M. Birna Van Riemsdijk (email) (DALT; Netherlands)
- Gerhard Weiss (email) (AOSE; Netherlands)
