This is the record of a meeting held at the University of Aarhus in Denmark, 23-26 May, 1978. The meeting was a workshop concerned with Software Engineering. A mixed group of Computer Scientists met for 4 days with the intention of exchanging knowledge and the hope of becoming wiser. Herein is a small glint of their wisdom. The workshop was organised as a mixture of formal presentations and discussions. The organisers had given titles to the various sessions but these were only used as guidelines, and the discussions in particular ranged far and wide, sometimes heated, and sometimes rather undisciplined.

The multi-agent system paradigm introduces a number of new design/development issues when compared with more traditional approaches to software development and calls for the adoption of new software engineering abstractions. To this end, in this chapter, we elaborate on the potential of analyzing and architecting complex multi-agent systems in terms of computational organizations. Specifically, we identify the appropriate organizational abstractions that are central to the analysis and design of such systems, discuss their role and importance, and show how such abstractions are exploited in the context of the Gaia methodology for multi-agent systems development.
