* CALL FOR PAPERS *
Student Session of 15th European Agent Systems Summer School (EASSS2013)
July 1st - July 5th, King's College London, United Kingdom
http://www.inf.kcl.ac.uk/events/easss13/
**************************************************************************
The European Agent Systems Summer School (EASSS) offers a rich programme
of both introductory and advanced courses on a broad range of topics in
the area of Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems. Within this
context, the Student Session is designed as a special programme to
present students with a conference-like setup, both in the presentation
and in the review process. This means that students will have the
opportunity to prepare their own submission which will be then peer
reviewed. Students whose papers are accepted get the opportunity to
present their work and interests to their fellow students as well as
internationally leading experts in the agent field, both from the
theoretical and the practical sector.
EASSS attracts about a hundred students each year. The school provides a
wide range of state-of-the-art courses given by the most prominent
researchers in the area. A typical course lasts 3.5 hours and is broad
enough to provide a general introduction to the chosen topics and covers
the most important contributions in depth. The success of the summer
school series is essential not only for the mutual benefit of research
groups, but also in forming future generations of researchers to
maintain the excellence of agents research and development in Europe.
EASSS aims to offer a valuable forum for knowledge exchange between
various research groups in its field for the benefit of students and
researchers at both beginner and advanced level. Therefore, the Student
Session is designed to encourage student interaction and feedback from
the tutors. All accepted papers will be assigned a 15-20 minute slot for
presentation. Typically a presentation will either detail the intended
approach to a problem or ask a specific question, directed at the
audience. In addition, all students will be given the opportunity to
present their work in the form of a poster that will be displayed at
EASSS'13. The competitive elements that are often found in conferences
(e.g. best paper award, best presentation award) are intentionally
omitted. The goal is to provide speakers with constructive feedback and
to introduce them to the community.
The peer review will not focus on the research contributions of the
presented material, but rather on the clarity of the formulated material
and whether or not the posed question is relevant to the majority of the
students. Giving a good presentation is a difficult task. One of the
benefits of the student session is the opportunity it offers to practise
this skill. The extent to which the audience has understood the details
should be the criterion by which the presentations are judged.
