====================================
AIMS AND SCOPE
Agreement Technologies refer to computer systems in which autonomous
software agents negotiate with one another, typically on behalf of humans,
in order to come to mutually acceptable agreements. An agent may choose
whether to fulfil an agreement or not, and it should fulfil it when there
is an obligation to do so derived from the standing agreements. Autonomy,
interaction, mobility and openness are key concepts studied within the
Agreement Technologies approach.

Semantic alignment, negotiation, argumentation, virtual organisations,
trust and reputation and several other technologies are part of the sandbox
to define, specify and verify such systems. The International Conference
Series on Agreement Technologies is an interdisciplinary forum that brings
together researchers and practitioners working on the various topics
comprising this emergent and vibrant field. It provides an avenue to
discuss and exchange new ideas and techniques for the design,
implementation and verification of next generation open distributed systems
centred on the notion of agreement among computational agents.

Following the successful outcome of the first edition of the International
Conference on Agreement Technologies (AT 2012) in Dubrovnik, Croatia, last
year, we are now organising the second edition of the event in Beijing,
China. AT 2013 will be co-located with IJCAI 2013 at the Beijing
International Convention Centre (BICC). IJCAI will commence on August 3rd,
right after the end of AT-2013.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
We encourage submission of original papers from the above-mentioned or
other related areas. Papers should represent original and previously
unpublished work that is currently not under review in any conference or
journal. Both basic and applied research papers are welcome. Papers should
not exceed 15 pages including references and figures.
All submissions must be written in English and formatted according to the
Springer LNCS style, which can be obtained from
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

All papers will be reviewed. Accepted papers will be included in the
AT-2013 proceedings, which will be published as a Springer LNCS/LNAI
volume. We also plan a special issue of an ISI ranked Journal for extended
versions of high-quality papers describing original, novel research.
Further details on the ISI journal special issue will be announced soon.
Submissions must be done via Easychair through this link:
