The volume containsrevisedversionsof20selectedpaperspresentedatCOINworkshopsin2013. The first of these workshops was co-located with AAMAS 2013 and took place on May6inSt.Paul,Minnesota,whilethesecondwasco-locatedwithPRIMAandwas held on December 3 in Dunedin, New Zealand. The papers in this collection have undergone a substantial process of refinement. As in previous editions, at least three Program Committee members reviewed each submitted paper and revised versions of the accepted papers were presented in the workshop sessions. After their presentation, some papers were selected to be part of thisvolume.Weselected18papersandtwoinvitedpapersoutofthe28submissions.

COIN strives to fulfill its workshop role of stimulating discussion, facilitating convergence and synergy of approaches, and weaving a community. Authors and reviewers were encouraged to contribute to a workshop program that welcomes the presentation of unconventional approaches perhaps stemming from other disciplines aswellasreportsaboutongoingworkandtestimonialsoftheapplicationoftheideas of this community. The papers in this collection correspond to that invitation while adhering to the high standard of the formal proceedings of COIN. In keeping with the aim of the COIN workshops, the collected papers share the basic premise of looking into coordination, organizations, institutions, and norms as governanceelementsfortheregulationofopenmulti-agentsystems.Whilethisbasic focus is shared, the papers contained in this volume exhibit a healthy diversity of approaches. We have grouped them in six sections. Four of the sections fell exactly along the lines of the four elements of the workshop title; coordination, organizations, institutions, and norms. However, this year it appeared that we had quite a substantial number of submissions centered around norms and thus we decided to make three norms sections, with one general section on norms and two more specific clusters on norm conflicts and norm-aware agents. Wewouldliketoendthisbriefprefacewithanoteofgratitude.Thus,asworkshop chairs and as editors of this volume, we want to express our sincere thanks to the reviewers of the COIN 2013 editions. Everyone knows that reviewing is not an easy task:itdemandsgenerositytoallocatetimeandenergythatistakenawayfromother duties;goodsenseandoptimismtoprovideconstructivecriticism;plusabalanceduse of confidence, altruism, and courage to recommend the acceptance or rejection of papers.Thenamesofthisyear’sProgramCommitteemembersarelistedforeveryone VI Preface toseeinthefrontmatterofthisvolume,buttheircontributionissubtlypresentinthe manysuggestionsthatweretakenupbytheauthorstoenrichthefinalversionoftheir papers.Ofcourse,wewouldalsoliketothanktheauthorsforsubmittingandseriously revising their papers such that we can present a high-quality COIN volume again.
