*Call for Workshops*
AAMAS2019 invites proposals for the Workshop Program, to be held on May
11-12, 2019, immediately prior to the technical AAMAS conference.
The objective of the AAMAS2019 workshop program is to stimulate and
facilitate discussion, interaction, and comparison of approaches,
methods, and ideas related to specific topics, both theoretical and
applied, in the general area of Autonomous Agents and Multiagent
Systems. The AAMAS2019 workshops will provide an informal setting where
participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical
topics in an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange of ideas and
supports community development.
All members of the AAMAS community are invited to submit workshop
proposals for review. We encourage workshops that focus on emerging
topics and applications, on open research questions and challenges, and
on broader topics that are of interest to a wider community.
Workshops can vary in length from half a day to two days, though we
expect most to be one full day in duration. As attendance will be
limited to registered participants, workshop organisers and attendees
must register for their workshop, whose fee will be separate from the
main conference fee. Workshop attendees do not need to register for the
main AAMAS conference, but are encouraged to do so.
AAMAS2019 reserves the right to cancel workshops whose attendance does
not support their running costs.
*Important Dates*
Proposal submission deadline Oct 22nd, 2018
Notification by November 30th, 2018
*REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBMISSION*
The workshop proposals should be submitted electronically as a single
PDF file at this link
<https://www.dropbox.com/work/File%20requests/AAMAS19Workshops>
Proposals for workshops should be a maximum of five pages in length, and
should contain the following information:
1.
Title and acronym of the workshop.
2.
A brief technical description of the workshop, specifying the
workshop’s goals, the technical issues that it will address, the
relevance of the workshop to the main conference, together with a
brief discussion of why and to whom the workshop is of interest.
3.
A preliminary workshop format and a proposed schedule for organising
the workshop, including the desired length for the workshop. Please
include a brief description of how the organisers intend to
encourage an atmosphere appropriate for a workshop, and indicate
whether you intend to have any activities other than contributed
talks (e.g., invited talks, panels, or posters).
4.
A list of related workshops held within the last three years, if
any, and their relation to the proposed workshop. Please include,
when information is available: when and where they have been offered
in the past (i.e., with AAMAS or another conference), organisers’
names and affiliations, number of submitted/accepted papers,
approximate attendance numbers, and followup publications (e.g.,
journal special issues).
For workshops that have had previous editions (even if they had
different titles and were not held with AAMAS), include a list of URLs
of the websites of the previous editions.
1.
Description of the paper review process and acceptance standards.
2.
The names, affiliations, URLs, and email addresses of the proposed
workshop organisers. This committee must consist of two to four
people knowledgeable about the technical issues to be addressed. The
organising committee should include individuals from multiple
institutions, spreading across different regions. By submitting the
workshop proposal, the organisers commit to fulfilling their
responsibilities, outlined below in the “Responsibilities” section.
3.
The name of the primary contact for the organising committee.
4.
One-page CVs of the organising committee members, focusing on the
qualifications of the individual committee members with respect to
organising an AAMAS workshop, and including a list of key
publications demonstrating scholarship in the field and a list of
workshops previously arranged, if any. Note that strong proposals
should include organisers who bring differing perspectives to the
workshop topic and who are actively connected to the communities of
potential participants.
5.
A list of potential program committee members, including their
titles and affiliations.
6.
A tentative list of places (distribution lists, websites, journals,
etc.) where the workshop is planned to be advertised.
7.
If available, a list of tentatively confirmed attendees.
*SELECTION CRITERIA*
The selection of workshops for the final program will be based upon
multiple factors, including the scientific/technical interest of the
topics in relation to the AAMAS community, the clarity of the proposal
in addressing the requested information, the innovative character of
workshop topics, the crossdisciplinary nature of the workshop, the
capacity of the organisers in leading a successful workshop, and the
capacity of the conference workshop program. Please note that AAMAS may
request proposers addressing similar or overlapping content areas to
merge their proposals.
*RESPONSIBILITIES*
For all accepted proposals, AAMAS will be responsible for:
*
Providing publicity for the workshop series as a whole.
*
Providing logistic support and a meeting place for the workshop.
*
Together with the organisers, determining the workshop date and time.
*
AAMAS reserves the right to cancel workshops, for example in case of
a low number of registrants.
