About PRIMA:
************************
Agent-based Computing addresses the challenges in managing distributed
computing systems and networks through monitoring, communication,
consensus-based decision-making and coordinated actuation. As a result,
intelligent agents and multi-agent systems have demonstrated the capability
to use intelligence, knowledge representation and reasoning, and other
social metaphors like ‘trust’, ‘game’ and ‘institution’, not only to
address real-world problems in a human-like way but also to transcend human
performance. This has had a transformative impact in many application
domains, particularly in e-commerce, and also in planning, logistics,
manufacturing, robotics, decision support, transportation, entertainment,
emergency relief & disaster management, and data mining & analytics.

The 20th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Multi-Agent
Systems (PRIMA 2017) invites submissions of original, unpublished,
theoretical and applied work on any such topic, and encourages reports on
the development of prototype and deployed agent systems, and of experiments
that demonstrate novel agent system capabilities.

Information for Authors
************************
The PRIMA 2017 Program Committee invites submissions of original,
unpublished, theoretical and applied work strongly relevant to multiagent
systems, including reports on the development of prototype and deployed
agent systems, and of experiments that demonstrate novel agent system
capabilities. An indicative list of topics is provided below.
Papers should be at most 16 pages in length in the Springer LNCS format.
All accepted papers will be published in Springer’s LNAI series.
Papers are to be submitted through the Easychair Conference Management
System:
