Second Call for Papers for the 11th European Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems (EUMAS-2013) + LAMAS special session

[Laurent Perrussel]

Second Call for papers
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).
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.

SUBMISSION, CEUR PROCEEDINGS AND POST-PROCEEDINGS VOLUME

EUMAS-2013 welcomes both unpublished papers and papers that are under 
submission or have been published in a relevant conference,
workshop or journal. We specially invite submissions by students that we 
think will receive valuable feedback from the the 
discussion-orientedfocus 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 is 
available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
EUMAS-2013 solicits papers in two categories:
- Full research papers of 8 to 14 pages.
- Extended abstracts of 2 to 4 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
Full papers accepted at EUMAS-2013 that are not under submission and 
have not been previously published
  in a different conference, workshop or journal will be included in the 
CEUR workshop proceedings.

A post-proceedings volume published by Springer in the LNCS/LNAI series 
is planned
based on revised and extended versions of selected papers presented at 
EUMAS-2013.

IMPORTANT DATES

Abstract submission deadline: October 14, 2013
Paper submission deadline: October 18, 2013
Notification of acceptance: November 12, 2013
Camera-ready submission: November 29, 2013
EUMAS 2013 workshop: December 12-13, 2013
