EUMAS 2016 followed the tradition of previous edi- tions (Oxford 2003, Barcelona 2004, Brussels 2005, Lisbon 2006, Hammamet 2007, Bath 2008, Agia Napa 2009, Paris 2010, Maastricht 2011, Dublin 2012, Toulouse 2013,Prague2014,andAthens2015)inaimingtoprovidetheprimeEuropean forum for presenting and discussing agents research as the annual designated event of the EuropeanAssociationofMulti-AgentSystems(EURAMAS).AT2016wasthefourth instalmentinaseriesofevents(afterDubrovnik2012,Beijing2013,andAthens2015) that focus on bringing together researchers and practitioners working on computer systems inwhichautonomoussoftwareagentsinteract,typicallyonbehalfofhumans, inordertocometomutuallyacceptableagreements.Awidescopeoftechnologiescan help providethesupportneeded for reachingmutuallyacceptable agreements, suchas argumentation and negotiation, trust and reputation, computational social choice, coalition and team formation, coordination and distributed decision-making, and semantic alignment, to name a few. Thisyear,forthesecondtime,botheventswereco-locatedandrunasasingle,joint event. This joint organization aimed to encourage and continue cross-fertilization amongthebroaderEUMASandthemorespecializedATcommunities,andtoprovide a richer and more attractive program to participants. While the technical program was put together by their independent committees into conference-specific thematic ses- sions, they shared keynote talks and aligned their schedules to minimize overlap and enable participants to make the best possible use of the combined program of the two conferences. Traditionally, both conference series have always followed a spirit of providing a forum for discussion and an annual opportunity for primarily European researcherstomeetandexchangeideas.Forthisreason,theyhavealways encouraged submission of papers that report on both early and mature research. The peer-review processescarriedoutbybothconferencesputgreatemphasisonensuringahighquality of accepted contributions. The EUMAS Program Committee accepted 17 submissions (32.7%)asfullpapersandanother16submissions(30.8%)asshortpapersoutofatotal of 52 submissions. The AT review process resulted in the acceptance of seven full (43.8%) and three short papers (18.8%) out of16 submissions overall.This volumeis structuredasfollows:Inthefirstpart,wepresentthetwoinvitedpapers;inthesecond, wepresenttheEUMASpapers,andinthethirdwepresenttheATpapers.Thepapers of each part are then grouped into thematic areas, where we first present full papers, followed by short papers. For the EUMAS papers, the thematic areas are: VI Preface – Agent and Multi-agent System Models – Algorithms – Applications – Simulations – Theoretical Studies For AT, the thematic areas are: – Algorithms and Frameworks – Applications – Philosophical and Theoretical Studies The editors would like to thank all authors for submitting to EUMAS and AT, all participants, the invited speakers, the members of the Program Committees, and the additional reviewers for putting together strong programs. We also thank the local organizersfortheirhardworkorganizingtheevents.Finally,wewouldliketoexpress ourgratitudetothesponsorsoftheconferences,theEuropeanAssociationforArtificial Intelligence (EurAi), the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia, the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Informática, and the Artificial Intelligence journal for their generous support, without which this event would not have been possible.
