Ten Years of SARL: What’s Next?

SARL is a versatile general-purpose agent-oriented programming language designed to offer fundamental abstractions for agent-oriented programming (AOP) while remaining agnostic to specific agent architectures. Its robust features empower developers to implement a diverse range of agent models and distributed interaction schemes, catering to various domain-specific requirements. On the occasion of its 10th anniversary, we review the key concepts and features of SARL. We highlight its flexibility by showcasing significant extensions and practical use cases. We also explore SARL’s approach to addressing new AOP requirements and discuss the future directions of the language.<p></p>
