Abstract
One of the two panels held this year at ATAL was to address the topic of agent-oriented languages, and particularly their relationship with other (i.e. traditional) programming paradigms. What triggered this panel is the observation that while there have been several proposals for agent-oriented languages the professional programmer has not really picked these up, and continues to employ familiar and more traditional paradigms and languages such as Java, C++, relational and object-oriented databases, and CORBA. So it seemed a good idea to reflect a bit on the position of agent-oriented programming as opposed to well-established paradigms such as object-oriented programming, distributed programming and logic programming.
