Description of FAMAS
-----------------------------
In recent years, multi-agent systems have come to form one of the key  
technologies for software development. The fourth edition of the  
FAMAS workshop series, after the success of FAMAS'03 affiliated with  
ETAPS’03 in Warsaw, FAMAS'06 affiliated with ECAI'06 in Riva del  
Garda, and FAMAS'007 as part of MALLOW'007 in Durham, aims at  
bringing together researchers from the fields of logic, theoretical  
computer science and multi-agent systems in order to discuss formal  
techniques for specifying and verifying multi-agent systems.

Suggested, but not exclusive, topics of interest for the workshop are:
*logics for multi-agent systems
*formal methods for verification of multi-agent systems
*formal models of teamwork
*formal approaches to communication, coordination and negotiation
*logical analysis of games
*computational social choice
*logical approaches to protocols ensuring privacy and security
*approximate reasoning in a multi-agent environment
