This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th European Workshop on Modelling Autonomous Agents in a Multi-Agent World, MAAMAW '94, held in Odense, Denmark, in August 1994. The 15 revised full papers included in the book were carefully selected from the workshop contributions; they address various current aspects of multi-agent systems, with a certain focus on applicational aspects. In addition, there is an invited paper "Agents: towards a society in which humans and computers cohabitate" by Mario Tokoro.
