With the rapid development of Internet and Web into a computational platform for information systems and the emergent of mobile computing facilities, software systems are becoming more and more complicated and dynamic everyday. The powerful infrastructures and platforms on which software systems operates on offer opportunities as well as impose challenges to efficient development of software systems with powerful functionality, great flexibility and high quality. Agent-orientation has been regarded as a promising approach to meet such challenges in the development of software systems that deal with dynamic environments such as the Internet and to take the advantages of such powerful platforms. Recent years have seen a rapid growth of research in agent oriented methodologies. A number of different approaches to agent-oriented software development have been proposed and advanced in the past years. Following the previous editions, AOSDM 2008 aims to attract participants from communities of agent-oriented software development and methodologies. It will provide researchers and practitioners with a forum to discuss results and exchange ideas and visions. It will be held in Glasgow , UK , 21-24 July 2008 as a part of the 2008 Systemics and Informatics World Congress (SIWN 2008).
