This book brings together a collection of 12 papers addressing a wide range of issues in software engineering for MASs, reflecting the importance of agent properties in today’s software systems. The papers in this book describe recent developments in specific issues and practical experience. At the end of each chapter, the reader will find a list of interesting references for further reading. The papers are grouped into five categories: Faulty Tolerance, Exception Handling and Diagnosis, Security and Trust, Verification and Validation, and Early Development Phases and Software Reuse. We believe that this carefully prepared volume will be of particular value to all readers interested in these key topics, describing the most recent developments in the field of software engineering for MASs. Software is present in every aspect of our lives, pushing us inevitably towards a world of distributed computing systems. 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.
