CALL FOR PAPERS
3rd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON AGREEMENT TECHNOLOGIES
December 17-18, Athens, Greece
(http://ai-group.ds.unipi.gr/eumas-at2015/at2015)
**Special track published in AI-COMMUNICATIONS**
This year the Agreement Technologies Conference (AT 2015) is collocated with EUMAS 2015. Sessions of both conferences will be open to all participants of EUMAS and AT.
We hope that this will allow us to develop a rich and inspiring program of high-quality papers reporting original results.
**Proceedings will be published in a Springer LNCS/LNAI volume and authors of selected papers from AT 2015 will be invited to submit an extended and improved version to a special track published in AI-COMMUNICATIONS**
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.
AT 2015 follows the successful outcome of the first and second edition of the International Conference on Agreement Technologies: AT 2012 in Dubrovnik, Croatia, and AT 2013 in Beijing.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
* Argumentation and negotiation
* Trust and reputation
* Coalition & Team Formation
* Coordination and distributed decision making
* Computational social choice
* Semantic alignment
* Inter-theory relations

SUBMISSIONS
AT 2015 welcomes original, unpublished papers. We specially invite submissions by students who we think will receive valuable feedback from the discussion-oriented focus of the conference.
Authors are invited to submit papers in the following two categories:
Full Papers:
Papers in this category 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.
Position Papers:
Contributions in this category may represent either a summary of original work that has already been published in a conference or journal (in this case submissions must include explicitly a reference to the already published work), or ongoing research that can lead to important contributions to Agreement Technologies. Submissions in this category should not exceed 4 pages.
Each submission will be peer-reviewed. All submissions must be written in English and formatted according to the Springer LNCS style, which can be obtained fromhttp://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
PROCEEDINGS
All accepted papers will be published in a Springer LNCS/LNAI volume. Full research papers and short papers describing original, unpublished work accepted at AT 2015 will be included in the proceedings. We also plan to give authors of accepted papers the opportunity to revise the camera ready version of their paper(s) in order to incorporate feedback received upon the presentation of their work during the conference.
Best papers from the AT 2015 conference will be published in the AI-COMMUNICATIONS Journal (http://www.iospress.nl/journal/ai-communications/).
AI Communications is a journal on Artificial Intelligence which has a close relationship to ECCAI (the European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence)
Submissions must be done via Easychair through this link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=at15
IMPORTANT DATES
* Deadline for registering abstracts: September 17, 2015
* Deadline for papers submission: September 20, 2015
* Final decisions to authors: October 15, 2015
* Camera Ready Papers: October 20, 2015
* Conference: 17- 18 December, 2015
All deadlines are at 23:59 UTC-12, i.e. before midnight on the respective date anywhere in the world.

CALL FOR PAPERS
13th EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS
December 17-18, Athens, Greece
(http://ai-group.ds.unipi.gr/eumas-at2015)
**Proceedings will be published in a Springer LNCS/LNAI volume and authors of
selected papers will be invited to submit an extended and improved version to
a special issue published in an ISI-ranked journal**
AIMS AND SCOPE:
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
intelligent systems technologies in the 21st century. The aim of the EUMAS
series is to provide a forum for academics and practitioners in Europe at which
current research and application issues are presented and discussed.
EUMAS 2015, the 13th installment of the conference series follows the tradition
of previous editions (Oxford 2003, Barcelona 2004, Brussels 2005, Lisbon 2006,
Hammamet 2007, Bath 2008, Agia Napa 2009, Paris 2010, Maastricht 2011, Dublin
2012, Toulouse 2013, Prague 2014), and aims to encourage and support activity
in the research and development of multi-agent systems, in academic and
industrial efforts.
The conference is primarily intended as a European forum for anybody interested
in the theory and practice of autonomous agents and multi-agent system can
meet, present challenges, preliminary and mature research results in an open
and informal environment. To attract students as well as experienced
researchers, preliminary as well as mature work, EUMAS 2015 offers three
submission types and formal proceedings. Also, post-publication in form of a
special issues of a high-quality journal in the area are planned.
This year EUMAS is co-located with the 3rd edition of the International
Agreement Technologies (AT) Conference. This will allow us to produce a rich
and inspiring program of high-quality papers reporting original results.
Sessions of both conferences will be open to all participants of EUMAS and AT.
EUMAS 2015 is a designated event of the European Association of Multi-Agent
Systems (EURAMAS): http://www.euramas.org
