\subsubsection*{Original set of questions by John-Jules Meyer:}

\item is there a need for special agent-oriented languages anyway? (Or can
every 'agent-oriented' thing be done as easily with familiar paradigms: OO,
LP, ...)

\item current state of agent-oriented languages: Agent0, PLACA, AgentSpeak, ...;is there a need for new agent-oriented languages?

\item what makes a language agent-oriented? Should there be an explicit mention
(by means of language primities or so) of BDI-like features in the language?
             
\item the need for formal semantics and formal methods for specification \&
verification of agent programs?

\item what are the expectations for the future of agent languages? (In 10 years
as popular as OO languages nowadays?)
