Agent‐oriented programming languages represent a family of programming languages that provide developers with high‐level abstractions and constructs necessary for implementing and using agent‐related concepts. In this paper a novel agent‐oriented programming language for rapid and efficient development of reactive agents, named ALAS, is presented. The simple, but powerful set of language constructs is designed to support the execution of agents in heterogenous environments, and to enable easy employment of advanced agent features, such as mobility and web service integration.
