Since 1994, the Iberagents workshop provides a discussion forum to the Ibero-American community on Multiagent systems. The seventh Ibero-American Workshop in Multi-Agent Systems, has been organised as a part of the eleventh IBERAMIA conference, in Lisbon, on October 2008, in a close collaboration between LabMAg/University of Lisbon and the Grasia Research Group at Universidad Complutense de Madrid. This time the workshop has been structured along three working sessions, with the purpose of analysing different aspects that contribute to the application of agent technology, taking into account the degree of maturity of the discipline nowadays, which is represented by the contributions of the participants. The first session, Theories and Architectures, started by considering several issues on the fundamentals of agent technology. Some of them are quite general, looking at the relevance of specific characteristics of agents in the conception of distributed intelligent systems. In this sense, there were contributions related with the contribution of agents to improve software engineering practices. Other works provide insight on how agents can contribute to modelling real complex systems: Is it possible to study emergent behaviour of real systems by modelling as multi-agent systems? The second session was devoted to Applications. The purpose was to analyse at which point there is more than prototypes by using agent technology. The agent paradigm, because of intentional and social characteristics, is appropriate to solve coordination problems involving heterogeneous parties. In this line, all the works presented highly collaborative systems in different settings: video conferencing, airport management, and crisis management. The third session, Mechanisms, provided insight on techniques associated to multiagent systems, this year looking especially at those issues that are derived from the social nature of multi-agent systems. Along those lines, the notion of adaptivity is very important, and the presentations emphasised it through several different approaches: auctions, topologies, local interactions, reputation and trust.
