In this talk, I will provide an introduction to the concepts underlying planning for multi-agent systems in presence of epistemic actions. We will start with a brief overview of some of the logical foundations and then proceed with the analysis of a recent approach to the description of multi-agent epistemic planning problems (using the language mA*). We will explore the syntactic characterization of mA* and its semantics, based on update models. We will also discuss brie y two implementation schemes that have been developed to resolve concrete planning problems. The talk is meant to be highly introductory and accessible to a broad audience, especially composed of students.
