EUMAS-2013
11th European Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems 
12-13 December 2013, Toulouse, France
http://www.irit.fr/EUMAS2013/


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 past EUMAS (Oxford 2003, Barcelona 2004,
 Brussels 2005, Lisbon 2006, Hammamet 2007, Bath 2008, Agia Napa 2009, Paris 2010, Mastricht 2011, Dublin 2012),
 the aim of this Eleventh European Workshop 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 workshop 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. 
The scope of the event is defined as the scope of the International Journal on Autonomous Agents & Multi-agent Systems (JAAMAS), 
the International Conference on Autonomous Agents & Multi-agent Systems (AAMAS), and the European Association for Multiagent Systems (EURAMAS).

SPECIAL SESSION OF LAMAS (LOGICAL ASPECTS OF MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS)

The sixth LAMAS workshop (Logical Aspects of Multi-Agent Systems) will be colocated with EUMAS-2013, as a special session. 
(See http://icr.uni.lu/lamas2012/cfp.html for the previous edition of the LAMAS workshop). 
Accepted LAMAS papers are included in the EUMAS-2013 informal proceedings. 
The submission of papers to the LAMAS special session is subject to the same requirements 
as the submission of papers to the EUMAS-2013 normal track. 
Topics of interest for the LAMAS special session include but are not limited to:
- Logical systems for specification, analysis, and reasoning about MAS
- Modeling MAS with logic-based models
- Deductive systems and decision procedures for logics for MAS
- Development, complexity analysis, and implementation of algorithmic methods for formal verification of MAS
- Logic-based tools for MAS
- Applications of logics in MAS


SUBMISSIONS, PROCEEDINGS AND POST-PROCEEDINGS

Submission of papers describing relevant preliminary or completed work are invited. EUMAS-2013 also welcomes papers
that are under submission, will be presented or have already been presented at relevant international conferences. 
We specially invite submissions by students that we think will receive valuable feedback from the the discussion-oriented 
focus of the workshop. 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. All submissions should 
be formatted using Springer LNCS style which can be found at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. 
EUMAS-2013 solicits papers in two categories:

- Regular research papers of 10 to 15 pages.
- Extended abstracts of 2 to 5 pages reporting an interesting work in progress or providing system descriptions.

We request the submission of title and abstract prior the paper submission for supporting the tight schedule of reviewing. 
The authors can submit their abstracts and papers through the EUMAS 2013 Easychair submission site:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eumas2013
The workshop is intended primarily as a forum for interaction and discussion. 
The workshop will provide informal proceedings to registrants electronically (on a USB stick). 
Printed proceedings will be available for an extra fee covering printing costs. Workshop notes will contain all original papers and abstracts of previously published papers. 

After the event, we plan to invite a selection of unpublished submissions to be included in a volume published by Springer in the LNCS/LNAI series. 
The book will collect the papers that received the best grades during the review phase and generated the most animated discussions after the talk. 
We will use an average of review grades and session chairs evaluation of the discussion for selecting these papers.
