Research on Agents and Multi-Agent Systems has matured during the last decade and many
effective applications of this technology are now deployed. PAAMS provides an international
forum to present and discuss the latest scientific developments and their effective
applications to assess the impact of the approach and to facilitate technology transfer.
PAAMS started as a local initiative but has since grown to become THE international yearly
platform to present to discuss and to disseminate the latest developments and the most
important outcomes related to real-world applications. It provides a unique opportunity to
bring multi-disciplinary experts academics and practitioners together to exchange their
experience in the development and deployment of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. PAAMS intends
to bring together researchers and developers from industry and the academic world to report on
the latest scientific and technical advances on the application of multi-agent systems to
discuss and debate the major issues and to showcase the latest systems using agent based
technology. It will promote a forum for discussion on how agent-based techniques methods and
tools help system designers to accomplish the mapping between available agent technology and
application needs. Other stakeholders should be rewarded with a better understanding of the
potential and challenges of the agent-oriented approach. This edition of PAAMS brings together
past experience current work and promising future trends associated with distributed
computing artificial intelligence and their application in order to provide efficient
solutions to real problems. This symposium is organized by the Bioinformatics Intelligent
System and Educational Technology Research Group of the University of Salamanca. The present
edition will be held in Salamanca Spain from 28th to 30th March 2012. This edition of PAAMS
