This book constitutes the revised and selected papers from the 5th International Workshop on
Engineering Multi-Agent Systems held in Sao Paulo Brazil in May 2018 in conjunction with
AAMAS 2018. The 11 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected
from 18 submissions. The book contains also the best paper of the workshop that has been
published previously in another LNCS volume.The EMAS workshop focusses on the
cross-fertilisation of ideas and experiences in the various fields with the aim to enhance
knowledge and expertise in MAS engineering to improve the state-of-the-art to define new
directions for MAS engineering to investigate how established methodologies for engineering
and large-scale and open MAS can be adapted.
