However, this situation has changed in the recent years, especially with the spectacular emergence of information society technologies. Computer science has moved from the paradigm of an isolated machine to the paradigm of a network of systems and of distributed computing. Likewise, artificial intelligence is quickly moving from the paradigm of an isolated and non‐situated intelligence to the paradigm of situated, social and collective intelligence. Hence, the concept of agreement has become key for a robust understanding and an efficient implementation of artificial social systems. In this context, Agreement Technologies is a new approach of Distributed Artificial
