Call for Demos: AAMAS 2017
===========================
Sixteenth International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems

Demo track website: http://www.utdmavs.org/aamas2017demotrack/

The goal of the AAMAS Demo track is to provide opportunities for
participants from academia and industry to present their latest
developments in agent-based software and robotic systems. Interactive
systems and novel applications are particularly welcome. Student
researchers are encouraged to submit. A "Best Demo" will be selected
and awarded by the Demos Program Committee.

Demonstrations of interest include:

1) Systems implementing agents in real-world settings in various
application areas such as engineering (e.g., transportation, robotics,
grid), economy (e.g., e-commerce), health care, military.

2) Systems supporting the development of agents which include
development environments and tools to assist developers in the
specification, design, implementation and/or testing of agent systems.

3) Systems using agents to model behavior which include virtual
agents, simulation systems and games.



SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Submissions accepted for the Demo track will be advertised on the
AAMAS website and in the conference proceedings. Each Demo submission
must consist of the following elements:

- Paper:

Pages 1-2 to describe the system to be demonstrated. More precisely,
the authors are encouraged to discuss the application domain, the
problem scenario, the technology used, the agent/multi-agent
techniques involved, the innovations of the system, and its live and
interactive aspects, etc.
Page 3 to list the bibliographic references.
Page 4 to provide the organizers with a list of requirements for the
demo setting at the conference.

Papers must be prepared using the AAMAS format and submitted as PDF
files. Papers which do not adhere to the guidelines above will be
rejected.

- Video:

The paper to contain a URL linking to a demonstration video of no more
than 5 minutes in duration  (QuickTime or YouTube format) showing and
explaining the execution of the system.

- Supervisor Endorsement (Student Projects Only):

A brief note from the student's supervisor describing the student's
individual contribution to the project.

Submissions should be made through the Demo track submission system
at:  https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aamas2017demos

Accepted Demos papers will be included in the AAMAS proceedings. At
least one author of each accepted demonstration is required to
register and attend the conference to give a live demonstration.

SELECTION PROCESS

The submission and selection processes for the AAMAS 2017 Demos will
be separate from that of the main conference. Each submission will be
assessed by the Demos Program Committee. The authors will receive a
brief evaluation report with the notification. The evaluation criteria
are:

Relevance to the AAMAS conference
Significance and originality
Live demo presentation and technical quality
Video content and presentation
Maturity and readiness for demonstration
Potential for public interaction
Potential impact in the intended application domain
Potential interest to a broader audience



IMPORTANT DATES
