CALL FOR BLUE SKY IDEAS

========================

AAMAS 2025


This is a reminder to submit your Blue Sky ideas to AAMAS 2025 – The 24th
Intl. Conf. on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems; see the full call
on the AAMAS 2025 website
<https://aamas2025.org/index.php/conference/calls/call-for-blue-sky-ideas/>.

The Blue Sky Ideas special track is intended to present and provoke
visionary ideas, long-term challenges, new research opportunities, and
debate. It serves as an incubator for innovative, risky, and provocative
research directions, which can be presented without being constrained by
the result-oriented standards followed in the main track of the conference.
We invite submissions that focus on novel, overlooked, or under-represented
application areas to which agent research may contribute; potential paths
for agent research to contribute to the state of the art in other AI and
computing areas and the other way around; unexplored theoretical grounds
for agent research. Overall, we aim at papers that help guide the agent
community to achieve in the coming years a leading position within AI and
computing research.

== Important Dates ==

* Abstract submission: December 10, 2024 (at 23:59 anywhere on Earth)

* Papers submission: December 15, 2024 (at 23:59 anywhere on Earth)

== Evaluation Criteria ==

Reviewers will assess papers based on Relevance and Advancement (level of
future-thinking), Novelty and Vision (level of “Blue Sky”-ness), Background
and Foundation (level of grounded-ness), Impact and Practicality (level of
real-world applicability), and Rigour and Clarity (level of strength of
contribution). See the detailed criteria on the AAMAS website

Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings and will be
presented orally at the conference.

The Blue Sky Ideas track follows the same policies as the main track.
Submissions must be original, reviewing is double-blind, and at least one
author of each accepted paper will be required to register for the
conference by the early registration deadline with the intention of
