DESCRIPTION:The workshop on Declarative Agent Lang
 uages and Technologies (DALT), in its fifth editio
 n this year, is a well-established forum for resea
 rchers interested in sharing their experiences in 
 combining declarative and formal approaches with e
 ngineering and technology aspects of agents and mu
 ltiagent systems. Building complex agent systems c
 alls for models and technologies that en- sure pre
 dictability, allow for the verification of propert
 ies, and guarantee flexibility. Developing technol
 ogies that can sat- isfy these requirements still 
 poses an important and difficult challenge. Here, 
 declarative approaches have the potential of of- f
 ering solutions satisfying the needs for both spec
 ifying and de- veloping multiagent systems. Moreov
 er, they are gaining more and more attention in im
 portant application areas such as the seman- tic w
 eb, service-oriented computing, security, and elec
 tronic contracting. For instance, some convergence
  points between the areas of formal methods for de
 aling with web services and formal methods for age
 nts are emerging and gaining more and more atten- 
 tion.   DALT 2007 will be held as a satellite work
 shop of AAMAS 2007. For more information, see http
 ://www.di.unito.it/~baldoni/DALT-2007/  We welcome
  and encourage the submission of high-quality, ori
 ginal papers, which are not being submitted simult
 aneously for publication elsewhere. Paper submissi
 on deadline is 5 February 2007.
