Welcome to the proceedings of the 9th International Workshop on Programming based on Actors, Agents, and Decentralized Control (AGERE!), co-located with SPLASH 2019. AGERE!, an ACM SIGPLAN workshop, keeps on being a unique venue in the research landscape bringing together researchers and practitioners interested in actors, agents and, more generally, high-level paradigms emphasizing decentralized control in thinking, modeling, developing, and reasoning about software systems. The fundamental turn of software to concurrency and distribution is not only a matter of performance, but also of design and abstraction. It calls for programming paradigms that, compared to current mainstream paradigms, allow us to more naturally think about, design, develop, execute, debug, and prole systems exhibiting different degrees of concurrency, autonomy, decentralization of control, and physical distribution. All stages of software development are considered interesting for the workshop, including requirements, modeling, formalization, prototyping, design, implementation, tooling, testing, and any other means of producing running software based on actors and agents as first-class abstractions. The scope of the workshop includes aspects that concern both the theory and the practice of programming using such paradigms, so as to bring together researchers working on models, languages and technologies, as well as practitioners using such technologies to develop real-world systems and applications.

Abstract
Welcome to the proceedings of the 9th International Workshop on Programming based on Actors, Agents, and Decentralized Control (AGERE!), co-located with SPLASH 2019. AGERE!, an ACM SIGPLAN workshop, keeps on being a unique venue in the research landscape bringing together researchers and practitioners interested in actors, agents and, more generally, high-level paradigms emphasizing decentralized control in thinking, modeling, developing, and reasoning about software systems. The fundamental turn of software to concurrency and distribution is not only a matter of performance, but also of design and abstraction. It calls for programming paradigms that, compared to current mainstream paradigms, allow us to more naturally think about, design, develop, execute, debug, and prole systems exhibiting different degrees of concurrency, autonomy, decentralization of control, and physical distribution. All stages of software development are considered interesting for the workshop, including requirements, modeling, formalization, prototyping, design, implementation, tooling, testing, and any other means of producing running software based on actors and agents as first-class abstractions. The scope of the workshop includes aspects that concern both the theory and the practice of programming using such paradigms, so as to bring together researchers working on models, languages and technologies, as well as practitioners using such technologies to develop real-world systems and applications.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
