After more than 20 years of academic research on multi-agent systems (MASs), in fact, agent-oriented models and technologies have been promoted as the most suitable candidates for the design and development of distributed and intelligent applications in complex and dynamic environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith respect to both their quality and range, the papers in this Special Issue already represent a meaningful sample of the most recent advancements in the field of agent-oriented models and technologies. In particular, the 17 contributions cover agent-based modeling and simulation, situated multi-agent systems, socio-technical multi-agent systems, and semantic technologies applied to multi-agent systems. In fact, it is surprising to witness how such a limited portion of MAS research already highlights the most relevant usage of agent-based models and technologies, as well as their most appreciated characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe are thus confident that the readers of \u003cem\u003eApplied Sciences\u003c\/em\u003e will be able to appreciate the growing role that MASs will play in the design and development of the next generation of complex intelligent systems.
