    In the last two decades, we have seen a significant increase of interest in agent-
based computing. This field is now set to become one of the key technologies
in the 21st century. It is crucial that both academics and industrialists within
Europe have access to a forum at which current research and application issues
are presented and discussed. The aim of the European Workshop on Multi-Agent
Systems (EUMAS) is to encourage and support activity in the research and de-
velopment of multi-agent systems, in academic and industrial efforts. The EU-
MAS workshop is primarily intended as a European forum at which researchers,
and those interested in activities relating to research in the area of autonomous
agents and multi-agent systems, could meet, present (potentially preliminary)
research results, problems, and issues in an open and informal but academic
environment. The scope of the event is defined as the scope of the International
Journal on Autonomous Agents & Multi-agent Systems (JAAMAS), the Inter-
national Conference on Autonomous Agents & Multi-agent Systems (AAMAS),
and the European Association for Multiagent Systems (EURAMAS).
    This volume is devoted to the eleventh edition of the EUMAS workshop
(EUMAS-2013). It includes the abstracts of the two invited talks by Andrew
Jones and Mehdi Dastani as well as a selection of the papers that have been
selected for presentation at the workshop. EUMAS-2013 received 58 submis-
sions. Each of these papers was carefully reviewed by at least three members
of the Program Committee. As a result, 22 contributions were accepted as long
presentations and 18 as short ones. A special session of EUMAS-2013 was de-
voted to Logical Aspects of Multi-Agent Systems (LAMAS) and included 4 long
presentations.
    I would like to thank the authors who contributed to the workshop with
their papers and presentations. Also, I would like to thank the members of the
Program Committee for their dedication to the review of the papers. Finally,
a special thank go to Florence Bannay and ValeĢrie Camps, the chairs of the
organizing committee, whose help has been fundamental to make EUMAS-2013
possible.
