The AAMAS-2005 Workshop on Teaching Multi-Agent Systems - TeachMAS (AAMAS-2005)

Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) have reached a point where many people have become interested in being educated in MAS basics and specialities. So far, we find rather isolated attempts at providing help in teaching MAS. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers that are interested in the teaching aspect of the field to identify problems specific to teaching MAS and inform each other about innovative approaches to teaching MAS and MAS-specific tools that improve the learning experience of students.

The workshop included presentations covering:

• Positive and negative experiences in teaching MAS:

- undergraduate level

- graduate level

- in continuing education

• Problems specific to teaching MAS and possible solutions

• The integration of theory and practice in teaching MAS

• MAS-specific tools for teaching MAS

• Innovative approaches to teaching and learning MAS
