This book is devoted to investigating and developing the synergy between software engineering for multi-agent systems and agent-based social simulation; it originates from the Second International Workshop on Multi-Agend-Based Simulation, MABS 2000, held in Boston, MA, USA in July 2000, in conjunction with ICAMS 2000. Besides the thoroughly revised full papers accepted for presentation at the workshop, two invited papers and an introductory survey by one of the volume editors have been added in order to round off the scope and achieve complete coverage of all relevant topics. The book competently surveys the state of the art in the area by offering topical sections on model design issues, applications, simulating social relations and processes, and formal approaches.

From the reviews: "This volume is based on papers accepted for the Second International Workshop on Multi-Agent-based Simulation ... . The editorial efforts, however, make it a reader ... which can successfully be used in a university seminar ... . Our students admitted that they had learnt a lot in reading, reporting and reviewing the selected papers ... . All other readers will certainly draw the same profit from reading this book. In the end, we can conclude our review with a recommendation to use this book in more university seminars ... ." (Michael Mohring and Klaus G. Tritzsch, Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation, April, 2002)
