+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL JOINT CONFERENCE ON AUTONOMOUS AGENTS
AND MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS (AAMAS-04)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Location: New York
Dates: Monday 19 July - Friday 23 July 2004
AAMAS04 welcomes the submission of original research papers centered
around the themes of autonomous agents and multiagent systems,
particularly those relating to the topic areas mentioned below. We
encourage theoretical, experimental, methodological, and applications
papers. Theory papers should make their relevance to the AAMAS community
clear, and applied papers should make their scientific/technical
contributions evident. Papers that address isolated agent capabilities
per se (such as planning or learning) are discouraged, unless they are
placed in the overall context of autonomous agent architectures or of
multiagent system organization and performance.
Evaluation is considered a desirable component of any submission. In
addition to conventional conference papers, we welcome the submission of
papers that focus on implemented systems or software or robotic
prototypes. These papers require a demonstration of the prototype at the
conference and should include a detailed project/system description
specifying hardware/software features and requirements. The conference
also encourages submissions of proposals for workshops, tutorials,
posters, and robotic and software demonstrations.
Important Dates
Electronic abstracts due: 16 January
Electronic paper submission deadline: 21 January
Notification: 23 March
