First Call for Papers
EUMAS 2014 - 12th European Conference on Multi-Agent Systems
December 18-19, 2014
Prague, Czech Republic
http://agents.fel.cvut.cz/eumas2014/
---------------------------------
---------------------------------
---------------------------------
INTRODUCTION
---------------------------------
In the last two decades, we have seen a significant increase of interest in
agent-based computing. This field is now set to become one of the key technologies
in the 21st century. It is crucial that both academics and industrialists within
Europe have access to a forum at which current research and application issues are
presented and discussed.
Following in the tradition of previous editions of EUMAS (Oxford 2003, Barcelona
2004, Brussels 2005, Lisbon 2006, Hammamet 2007, Bath 2008, Agia Napa 2009,
Paris 2010, Maastricht 2011, Dublin 2012, Toulouse 2013), the aim of this
12th European Conference on Multi-Agent Systems is to encourage and support activity
in the research and development of multi-agent systems, in academic and industrial
efforts.
This conference is primarily intended as a European forum at which
researchers, and those interested in activities relating to research in the area of
autonomous agents and multi-agent systems, could meet, present (potentially
preliminary) research results, problems, and issues in an open and informal but
academic environment. To attract students as well as experienced
researchers, preliminary as well as mature work, EUMAS 2014 offers three
submission types and formal proceedings as well as post-proceedings in form of a
journal special issue are planned.
EUMAS 2014 is a designated event of the European Association of Multi-Agent
Systems (EURAMAS): http://www.euramas.org

---------------------------------
SUBMISSIONS
---------------------------------
EUMAS 2014 welcomes both original, unpublished papers, as well as papers that are
under submission or have been published in a relevant conference, conference or
journal. We specially invite submissions by students that we think will receive
valuable feedback from the discussion-oriented focus of the conference.
Preliminary student work is welcome; however it has to possess sufficient substance
for serving as a discussion basis and therefore has to pass the review cycle in the
same way as other work.
Authors are invited to submit papers in the following three categories:
(1) Full research papers up to 15 pages, describing original and unpublished
work. Simultaneous submission to another venue is not allowed.
(2) Extended abstracts of 4-5 pages reporting on original and unpublished work
in progress or system descriptions. Simultaneous submission to another venue
is not allowed.
(3) Full research papers up to 15 pages reporting on interesting and relevant
work that has been published (or accepted for publication) in the last
18 months.
Each submission will be peer-reviewed. All submissions should be formatted
following Springer's LNCS format. For templates and instructions for authors, see
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
We request the submission of title and abstract prior the paper submission for
supporting the tight schedule of reviewing. The authors must submit their abstracts
and papers through the EUMAS 2014 Easychair submission site:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eumas2014
---------------------------------
PROCEEDINGS AND SPECIAL ISSUE
---------------------------------
This year, we plan to have formal conference proceedings. Currently we are
negotiating with Springer to have proceedings published with them in the series:
Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS),
http://www.springer.com/series/7899
Depending on quality, selected full research papers and extended abstracts describing
original, unpublished work (categories 1 and 2) accepted at EUMAS 2014 will be
included in the proceedings.
After the conference, we plan to invite authors of selected papers to extend and
re-submit their work to be considered for inclusion in a journal special issue.
The submissions to that special issue will be subject to another reviewing and
selection process.
