[Event at CIG] CFP: 10th International Workshop on Engineering Multi-Agent Systems (EMAS 2022)

[CIG Clausthal]

10th International Workshop on Engineering Multi-Agent Systems (EMAS 2022)
https://emas.in.tu-clausthal.de/2022

Call For Papers

Multiagent systems (MAS)—systems composed of autonomous agents who interact
with each other— are ideally suited to realizing modern software
applications. For instance, MAS ideas are well-suited to the IoT, and
applications that support engagements between humans and organizations in
domains such as business, health, and finance. Moreover, with the advent of
microservices, we see a clear shift in the software industry from
monolithic applications to applications constituted from autonomous,
interactive services—in essence, agents.

The EMAS workshop is a forum for presenting and discussing original ideas
and work on software abstractions, methodologies, languages, and tools for
engineering loosely-coupled, adaptive, high-performance, and scalable MAS.

We welcome submissions on:

- Traditional MAS engineering topics, including requirements and formal
specifications; architecture and modeling; verification and validation;
programming and languages; testing; maintenance and evolution.
- MAS engineering for conventional AI techniques, including machine
learning-based abstractions.
- MAS engineering for novel technologies, including blockchain, IoT,
microservices, serverless computing.
- MAS engineering for sociological theories, including norms, protocols.
- MAS engineering for application domains including business, health,
finance, transportation. - - MAS engineering and social science, including
ethics, laws and regulations, governance,
accountability.
- MAS engineering surveys.

As AAMAS 2022 will be a virtual event, EMAS 2022 will adopt a virtual
format similar to that used for EMAS 2021.

SUBMISSION

All papers should be original and not be submitted elsewhere. The review
process is single-blind (authors should put their names and affiliations in
the submission). All papers should be in the LNCS formatting style:

The Easychair submission page can be found here:
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=emas2022

Paper Types
1. Regular papers may be up to 16 pages.
2. Short papers may be up to 8 pages.
3. Tool, testbed, and demo papers may be up to 4 pages. Submissions should
highlight the
capabilities of an implemented tool or MAS application and provide a link
to supplementary material that allows the reviewers to evaluate the
submission, such as a website or videos.

Student Paper Award:
We encourage students to submit to EMAS. Papers where the main author is a
student should be identified as such and will be eligible for a best
student paper award.

Publication:
The workshop will be foremost a discussion event: there will be ample time
to discuss new ideas rather than only presenting mature work. Papers with
enough potential to warrant publication in a journal will be identified
through the reviewing process, and authors will be invited to submit their
work for a special issue of the Annals of Mathematics and Artificial
intelligence (hopefully to appear before EMAS 2023).

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission deadline: March 4, 2022
