AAMAS-08 encourages the submission of theoretical, experimental,
methodological, engineering and application papers across a broad
range of agent topics. All papers should:
- Make clear their contribution to the AAMAS field;
- Place their work in the context of relevant related work;
- Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of their approach.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Agent-based system development:
- Agent-oriented software engineering
- Agent development environments
- Agent languages
- Case studies and implemented systems
- P2P, web services, grid computing
Learning:
- Learning (single and multi-agent)
- Computational architectures for learning
- Evolution, adaptation
Agent Reasoning:
- Reasoning (single and multi-agent)
- Planning (single and mult-agent)
- Cognitive models
- Ontological reasoning
Agent Cooperation:
- Teamwork, coalition formation, coordination
- Distributed problem solving
- Biologically-inspired methods
Agent theories, Models and Architectures:
- Formal models of agency
- Modeling other agents and self
- BDI, speech act theory
- Reactive vs deliberative
- Logic-based methods
- Bounded rationality
Agent societies and Societal issues:
- Artificial social systems
- Trust and reputation
- Social and organizational structure
- Privacy, safety and security
- Ethical and legal issues
Agent communication:
- Communication languages
- Communication protocols
- Agent commitments
Economic paradigms:
- Electronic markets and institutions
- Economically-motivated agents
- Game theory (cooperative and non-cooperative)
- Social choice theory, voting protocols
- Auction and mechanism design
- Argumentation, negotiation and bargaining
Agent-based simulations:
- Emergent behaviour
- Simulation-specific issues
The conference also welcomes relevant papers from related fields such
as P2P computing, web services, autonomic and grid computing, as long
as the link is made to relevance and work within the agents community.
