Abstract
Computer science is one of the fastest changing area and we constantly witness novelties and therefore it is extremely important to also introduce new approaches for computer science education and introduce significant change into curricula. This paper presents the experience in using agent middleware, which has been initially developed as part of the research project in agent oriented graduate-level course. We present the course structure, the tools, teachers’ and students’ experiences with regard to the course delivery. Experiences with the introduction of the teamwork in the course, and characteristics particularly related to the specific methodology have been elaborated.
