The research groups of the promoters of the TFG all have done excellent work on the topic of environments for multiagent systems. For an overview of the state-of-the-art on environments, see [1].

Since 2004, the initiators of the TFG have organized a series of workshops on Environments for Multiagent Systems (E4MAS) at the AAMAS conference, (see website). The outcome of the E4MAS 2004 workshop is formulized in [2], for a brief overview see [3].
