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 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, can meet, present (potentially 
preliminary) research results, problems, and issues in an open and informal but 
academic environment. To attract students and experienced researchers, preliminary 
as well as mature work, EUMAS 2014 offers three submission types and has formal 
proceedings published by Springer as LNCS/LNAI volume. A journal special issue 
is planned as well.

EUMAS 2014 is a designated event of the European Association of Multi-Agent 
Systems (EURAMAS): http://www.euramas.org

Computing, Socio-technical Systems, Agent-oriented Software Engineering, 
Standards, Teamwork, Theories of Agency, Tools, Trust and Reputation, 
Ubiquitous Computing, Verification, Virtual Agents. 


---------------------------------

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EUMAS 2014 welcomes both original, unpublished papers, as well as papers that are 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(1) Full research papers of 12 to 15 pages, describing original and unpublished
  work. Simultaneous submission to another venue is not allowed.
  
(2) Short papers of 6 to 8 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 must 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 JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE

---------------------------------

PROCEEDINGS 
EUMAS has formal conference proceedings published as a Springer LNCS/LNAI 
(post-)proceedings volume (www.springer.com/lncs). Full research papers and 
short papers describing original, unpublished work (categories 1 and 2) accepted 
at EUMAS 2014 will be included in the proceedings. 


JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE 
A special issue of the journal Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence 
(AMAI, Springer, http://www.springer.com/computer/ai/journal/10472) is planned, 
consisting of a small number of best papers extended with additional unpublished 
original work and fully refereed according to usual journal standards. After the 
conference, authors of selected papers will be invited to submit to the special 
issue.


---------------------------------

IMPORTANT DATES

---------------------------------

Abstract submission deadline: September 26, 2014
Paper submission: September 29, 2014
Author acceptance notification: November 7, 2014
Camera-ready deadline: December 1, 2014
Conference: December 18-19, 2014
