Location: Detroit, USA

See this call on the AAMAS 2025 website:

The AAMAS 2025 Organizing Committee invites proposals for the Tutorial
Program, to be held on May 19-20, 2025, immediately before the main
conference.

Tutorials should serve one or more of the following objectives:

* Introduce novices to major topics of AAMAS research.

* Provide instruction in established practices and methodologies.

* Survey a mature area of AAMAS research or practice.

* Motivate and explain an AAMAS topic of emerging importance.

* Introduce expert non-specialists to an AAMAS area.

* Survey an area of agent research especially relevant for people from
industry.

* Present a novel synthesis combining distinct lines of AAMAS work.

* Introduce AAMAS audiences to an external topic that can motivate, use, or
be useful to AAMAS research.

Areas of interest include all of those listed in the call for the technical
track (
https://aamas2025.org/index.php/conference/calls/call-for-papers-main-technical-track/
).

Tutorials will be half-day long and will be in person - online/remote
versions will not be accepted. A few full-day tutorials may be accepted,
but the proponents need to motivate their request when submitting their
proposal.

== Important Dates ==

* Proposal Submission: January 17, 2025 (23:59 UTC-12)

* Author Notifications: January 31, 2025 (23:59 UTC-12)

* Making the tutorial site available on the web:  March 3rd, 2025 (23:59
UTC-12)

* Tutorial Forum Presentations: May 19-20, 2025

== Conference Dates ==

* Tutorials, Doctoral Consortium, Workshops: May 19-20, 2025

* Main Conference: May 21-23, 2025

== Submission Requirements ==

Proposals should be sent to aamas25tutorials at gmail.com as an attached pdf
file.

Tutorial proposals should be 2 to 4 pages in length, formatted using the
AAMAS paper template, and should contain the following information:

* A short title of the tutorial.

* A brief description of the tutorial, suitable for inclusion in the
conference registration brochure.

* A detailed outline of the tutorial, including preferred length (half or
full day).

* Characterization of the potential target audience for the tutorial,
including prerequisite knowledge.

* A description of why the tutorial topic would be of interest to a
substantial part of the AAMAS audience.

* A brief resume of the presenter(s), which should include name, postal
address, phone numbers, email address, background in the tutorial area, any
available example of work in the area (ideally, a published tutorial-level
article on the subject), evidence of teaching experience (including
references that address the proposer’s presentation skills as applicable),
and evidence of scholarship in the area. Information about previous
tutorials delivered by the presenters (if any). All named presenters are
expected to deliver the tutorial in person.

* The name and e-mail address of the corresponding presenter. The
corresponding presenter should be available for e-mail correspondence
during the evaluation process, in the case clarifications and discussions
on the scope and content of the proposal are needed.

The evaluation of the proposal will consider the level of general interest
for AAMAS attendees, the quality of the proposal, the feasibility of
running it in the proposed mode, the expertise and skills of the
presenters, and recent tutorials on the same or related topics at AAMAS.

We emphasize that the primary criteria for evaluation will be whether a
proposal is interesting, well-structured, and motivated, rather than the
perceived experience/standing of the proposer.

The overall goal in the selection process is to compose a balanced program
of excellent tutorials. Thus, even good proposals might be rejected. In the
case of several closely related proposals the tutorial chairs might propose
their authors to combine the proposals into a single tutorial.

== Responsibilities (with respect to accepted proposals) ==

AAMAS will be responsible for:

* Providing logistic support and a meeting place for tutorials.

* Together with the organizers, determining the tutorial date and time.

* Advertising the availability of the tutorial material to the AAMAS 2025
participants.

Tutorial organizers will be responsible for:

* Providing AAMAS with a link to a complete tutorial notes by  March 3rd
2025.

* Providing a website for the tutorial, which will include title and
abstract of the tutorial, presenters’ details, outline, tutorial notes and
related reading material. More details will be provided upon acceptance.

* Presenting the tutorial at AAMAS 2025.

AAMAS reserves the right to cancel any tutorial if the above
responsibilities are not fulfilled, if deadlines are missed, or if too few
attendees register for the tutorial to support the costs of running the
tutorial.

Inquiries should be sent at aamas25tutorials at gmail.com
