          the explicit commitment of many countries to support the
          installation and management of often small renewable energy
          production sources the old energy grids need to be upgraded to
          a much more intelligent and flexible grid, not only for
          electricity but also for gas and heat. Such so called smart
          grids most likely need to rely on decentralized control and a
          highly efficient, fast, flexible and reliable management. This
          requires smart grids to be capable of autonomously and
          intelligently configuring themselves to make the most
          efficient use of available resources, to be robust to all
          kinds of failures and energy production deviations, and to be
          extendable and adaptable in the face of rapidly changing
          technologies and requirements. The distributed nature of these
          systems, and the autonomous behaviour expected of them, points
          towards multi-agent systems as a possible foundation for the
          realisation of the management software for such grids. While a
          lot has to happen on the energy production and provision level
          the house of the future as well as the transportation means of
          the future need to be smoothly integrated in such a smart grid
          concept as well which means that houses need to be smart as
          well. Thus, the focus of this workshop is on applications of
          multi-agent systems technology in smart grids and smart homes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
