[Tony Savarimuthu]

First CFP for COINE-2023 workshop
Website: https://coin-workshop.github.io/coine-2023-london/
Coordination, organizations, institutions, norms and ethics are five key governance elements for the regulation of open multi-agent systems. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers in autonomous agents and multi-agent systems working on the scientific and technological aspects of social coordination, organizational theory, normative MAS, artificial or electronic institutions, norm-aware and ethical agents.
COINE 2023 is co-located with the International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS), London, United Kingdom, 29-30 May 2023 https://aamas2023.soton.ac.uk<https://aamas2023.soton.ac.uk/>.

Publication
Preliminary proceedings will be available before the conference. They will also be distributed to AAMAS 2023 registrants in electronic form.
As with previous COIN(E) workshops, COINE intends to publish post-proceedings in Springer's LNCS series (pending confirmation). Authors will be invited to submit revised and extended versions of their paper for consideration in these post-proceedings.
Revised papers must take into account the discussion held during the workshop; hence, only papers that are presented during the workshop will be considered for inclusion in the post-proceedings volume.
Venue
London, UK
