The chapter presents UNIRA, a multi-agent system developed by the authors for a Romanian university in order to improve the resources allocation for educational programmes and courses. Different types of resources are required to deliver programmes and courses. Considering a set of resources inquires, issued by programmes and courses, UNIRA system performs a transparent negotiation process between the managers of these resources, to find the solution for the allocation problem. During the initial stage of the multi-agent system deployment, only two types of resources are considered, professors and teaching rooms. The system is now in the validation phase. After the complete validation, the system will be integrated into the university management system. The UNIRA experience is relevant not exclusively for the academic resources management, but also for a large variety of domains, including the load distribution, production planning, computer scheduling, portfolio selection, and apportionment.
