                          AAMAS-05 
                          encourages the submission of theoretical, experimental, 
                          methodological, and applications papers. Theory papers 
                          should make clear the significance and relevance of 
                          their results to the AAMAS community. Similarly, applied 
                          papers should make clear both their scientific and technical 
                          contributions, and are expected to demonstrate a thorough 
                          evaluation of their strengths and weaknesses in practice. 
                          Papers that address isolated agent capabilities (for 
                          example, planning or learning) are discouraged unless 
                          they are placed in the overall context of autonomous 
                          agent architectures or multi-agent system organization 
                          and performance. A thorough evaluation is considered 
                          an essential component of any submission. Authors are 
                          also requested to make clear the implications of any 
                          theoretical and empirical results, as well as how their 
                          work relates to the state of the art in autonomous agents 
                          and multi-agent systems research as evidenced in, for 
                          example, previous AAMAS conferences. 
                          All submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed and 
                          evaluated on the basis of the quality of their technical 
                          contribution, originality, soundness, significance, 
                          presentation, understanding of the state of the art, 
                          and overall quality. 
                           
                           
                          In addition to conventional conference papers, AAMAS-05 
                          also welcomes the submission of papers that focus on 
                          implemented systems, software, or robot prototypes. 
                          These papers require a demonstration of the prototype 
                          at the conference and should include a detailed project 
                          or system description specifying the hardware and software 
                          features and 
                          requirements.
