This article discusses the Thirteenth International Distributed AI Workshop. An overview of the workshop is given as well as concerns and goals for the technology. The central problem in DAI is how to achieve coordinated action among such agents, so that they can accomplish more as a group than as individuals. The DAI workshop is dedicated to advancing the state of the art in this field. This year's workshop took place on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State on 28 to 30 July 1994 and included 45 participants from North America, Europe, and the Pacific Rim.
