PrefaceOver the last decade, the ProMAS workshop series has provided a venue forstate-<strong>of</strong>-the-art research in programming languages and tools for the development<strong>of</strong> multi-agent systems. ProMAS aims to address both theoretical andpractical issues related to developing and deploying multi-agent systems, andthe workshops have provided a forum for the discussion <strong>of</strong> techniques, concepts,requirements and principles central to multi-agent programming technology, includingthe theory and application <strong>of</strong> agent programming languages, the specification,verification and analysis <strong>of</strong> agent systems, and the implementation <strong>of</strong>social structures in agent-based systems. Many <strong>of</strong> these concepts and techniqueshave subsequently found widespread application in agent programming platformsand systems.For the tenth edition <strong>of</strong> ProMAS, we are pleased to be able to present aprogramme <strong>of</strong> high quality papers covering a wide range <strong>of</strong> topics in multi-agentsystem programming languages, including language design and efficient implementation,agent communication and robot programming. We hope ProMAS2012 will continue the successful tradition <strong>of</strong> previous ProMAS workshops, incontributing to the design <strong>of</strong> programming languages and tools that are bothprincipled and at the same time practical for ‘industrial-strength’ multi-agentsystems development.ProMAS 2012 Workshop OrganizersMehdi DastaniBrian LoganJomi F.
