AAMAS-05 call for workshop proposals
The AAMAS-05 Organising
Committee invites proposals for the Workshop
Program, to be held immediately before to
the technical conference (July, 25-26). The main goal
of the AAMAS-05 workshops is to stimulate
and facilitate an active exchange, interaction and
comparison of approaches, methods, and ideas about
specific (both theoretical and applicative) topics
on the Agents and Multi-Agent Systems domain. Workshops
should be organized so that an informal and participated
discussion among attendees is guaranteed. Members
from all areas of the AAMAS community are invited
to submit workshop proposals for review. Workshops
on new emerging topics or specific relevant aspects
of consolidated ones are particularly encouraged.
Workshops
can vary in length, but most will last a full day.
Workshop organizers and attendees must register for
their workshop and possibly for the main AAMAS conference.
submission
requirements
Proposals
for workshops should be from two to four pages in
length, and should contain the following information:
-
A brief technical description of the workshop, specifying
the workshop goals and the technical issues that
will be its focus.
-
A brief discussion of why and to whom the workshop
is of interest.
-
A list of related workshops held within the last
two years, if any, and their relation to the proposed
workshop.
-
If applicable, detailed information about previous
editions of the same workshop (e.g., number of submissions,
number of attendees).
-
A preliminary call for participation/papers.
-
The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and
email addresses of the proposed workshop organizing
committee. This committee should consist of three
or four people knowledgeable about the technical
issues to be addressed. These people cannot all
work at the same institution.
-
The name of the primary contact for the organizing
committee; an email address of this person should
be given.
-
A description of the qualifications of the individual
committee members with respect to organizing scientific
events, including a list of workshops previously
arranged by any members of the proposed organizing
committee, if any.
All proposals should be submitted by electronic mail
to the Workshop Chair, Rino Falcone (r.falcone@istc.cnr.it),
in plain ASCII text, no later than December
20, 2004. The committee's decision will be
notified no later than January 10, 2005.
The
selection of the workshops to be included in the final
AAMAS program will be based upon a number of factors,
including: the scientific/technical interest of the
topics, the quality of the proposal, the need to avoid
strictly overlapping workshops, and the unavoidable
need to limit the overall number of selected workshops.
responsibilities of AAMAS and workshop organizers
For
all accepted proposals, AAMAS will
be responsible for:
-
Providing logistic support and a meeting place for
the workshop.
-
Together with the organizers, determining the workshop
date and time.

to the participants.
Workshop

-
Collecting submissions, notifying acceptances in
due time, and ensuring a transparent and fair selection
process. All workshop organizers commit themselves
to adopt the same deadlines for submissions and
notifications of acceptance, i.e.,
-

workshops
-
April 18 2005, notifications
-
Making the PDF of the whole workshop notes available
to the workshop chair in due time (approx. 7 weeks

-
