The international Multi-Agent Programming Contest (MAPC), is a community-serving effort to facilitate advances in programming multiagent systems (MAS) by (1) developing benchmark problems, (2) enabling head-to-head comparison of MAS's and (3) supporting educational efforts in the design and implementation of MAS's.

It has since been organized by the AI group at Clausthal University of Technology. MAPC is not collocated with any other event. Using our MASSim platform, the participants are running their own systems locally and only interact with the tournament server over the Internet. A steering committee oversees the whole process and determines the organization committee. The scenario changes every other year: the current one is "Agents on Mars."
