                  Columbia University - New York City

INTRODUCTION
  
The AAMAS-2004 Organising Committee invites demonstrations of agent
technologies and agent-related software and hardware. We welcome a wide
variety of demonstrations, such as autonomous robots, agent software,
Internet robot demonstrations, robot soccer demonstrations and videos.
The goal for the demonstrations is to illustrate the technical advances
in the state of the art of autonomous agents.

The selection of demos will be based upon a number of factors, including
scientific contribution, originality and innovation. Commercial products
are eligible, but sales and marketing activities are not appropriate.

Space will be available for creating environmental settings as needed by
the teams. Robot demos will be scheduled during the conference.
Additionally, teams may demonstrate their robots during social events
and coffee breaks of the conference.

REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBMISSIONS

(1) A brief description of the demonstration. For example, "We will
demonstrate co-operative localisation and mapping, using two mobile
robots. The demonstration GUI will show range data being collected and
an online, real-time map building process."

(2) A two-page summary of the technical content of the demo, to be 
distributed at the conference. The best summaries in each category will
be included in the proceedings.

(3) A detailed description of hardware and software requirements, such
as space, site set ups, power supplies. AAMAS-2004 will attempt to
provide necessary equipment, but demonstrators will be required to
provide their own special-purpose equipment.

(4) A URL for a currently-active WWW-based demo, video clip, or a demo
storyboard.  A demo storyboard would consist of 6 images or power-point
slides depicting the various stages of the demo, e.g., 6 screen-shots
from a software demo, or 6 images from a robot simulation.

All proposals should be submitted by electronic mail to the Demo Chairs
Nicholas Roy and Dieter Fox at [EMAIL PROTECTED] in plain ASCII
text no later than

        ** Monday, February 16, 2004 **.  

Submitters will be notified of the committee's decision no later than

        ** Tuesday, March 23, 2004   **.


Please send proposals (in ASCII) and inquiries to:
