This course builds on the Intelligent Agents course. In the intelligent agentscourse, various notions related to single agents are studied. In this course we study the multiagent systems and related topics. In particular, we study:

• 3APL: a programming language to implement multiagent systems,
• the interaction between individual agents

• communication,
• co-ordination,
• co-operation,
• negotiation,

• multiagent organisation and computational organisation theory
• multiagent applications and their characterizations.

Some of these topics should be studied in practice by means of software projects using 3APL programming language and 3APL platform.
