A mechatronic multiagent systems workshop is held in Caparica in Portugal by UNINOVA. It covered the main aspects of multiagent programming with JADE in a mechatronic context.

The topics of the workshop were:

• agent technology - context and applications,

• agent concepts and architectures,

• agent in JADE - approach and basic behaviours,

• advanced JADE aspects like scheduling, communication, redundancing etc.,

• JADE complex behaviours,

• implementation of FIPA communication protocols,

• implementation of complex behaviours,

• agents in a mechatronic context,

• implementation of agents in a mechatronic context,

• practical exercises.
