One of the main challenges in multi-agent systems is to develop tools and techniques for solving cooperative tasks in a dynamically changing environment.

The aim of the annual agent contest is to stimulate research in the area of multi-agent systems, to identify key problems and to collect suitable benchmarks.
The 2010 contest was organized by Tristan Behrens, Jürgen Dix, Jomi Hübner and Michael Köster.

The 2009 contest was organized by Tristan Behrens, Mehdi Dastani, Jürgen Dix, Michael Köster and Peter Novák.
The DTU team used the Jason platform and did well in the 21 world-wide simulations during 5 days:
1. JIAC-V (Germany) 60 points 2. Jadex@HAW (Germany) 57 points 3. Roman-Farmers (Brazil/France/Italy) 37 points 4. Jason-DTU (Denmark) 30 points 5. Smaperteam (Australia) 23 points 6. Micro-JIAC (Germany) 21 points 7. AF-ABLE (Ireland) 20 points 8. Unknown (Germany) 1 point
