Eighth European Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems (EUMAS 2010)
Paris, France, 16th-17th December 2010

http://www.lipade.fr/eumas10/

OVERVIEW

Agent technology has had an expanding impact and depth over the past two
decades and more, influencing and being influenced by other disciplines
while making a distinct research contribution with novel solutions to
industrial problems.  It is crucial, therefore, that both academics and
industrialists within Europe have access to a forum at which current
research and application issues are presented and discussed. Following in
the tradition of past EUMAS (Oxford 2003, Barcelona 2004, Brussels 2005,
Lisbon 2006, Hammamet 2007, Bath 2008, Aiya Napa 2009), the aim of the
Eighth European Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems is to encourage and support
activity in the research and development of multi-agent systems.  This
workshop is primarily intended as a European forum at which researchers, and
those interested in activities relating to research, in the area of
autonomous agents and multi-agent systems can meet, present (potentially
preliminary) research results, problems, and issues in an open and informal
but academic environment.

INVITED SPEAKERS

We are delighted to announce three distinguished invited speakers at this
workshop, Professors Sarit Kraus, Jerome Lang, and Katia Sycara.  Further
details of their talks will be available from the website nearer the
workshop.

SUBMISSIONS

Submission of papers describing relevant preliminary or completed work are
invited.  EUMAS welcomes papers that are original, or are under submission,
will be presented or have already been presented at relevant international
conferences.  The workshop is intended as a forum for interaction and
discussion, and we especially invite submissions by students, who can
receive valuable feedback from this discussion-oriented focus. Preliminary
student work is welcome, as long as it possesses sufficient substance for
serving as a basis for discussion.

All submissions should be formatted using Springer's LNCS style and have a
maximum of 15 pages. We request the submission of title and abstract prior
to the paper submission, to help meet the tight reviewing schedule.
 Abstracts and papers should be submitted via the following page.

The workshop has no formal proceedings; it is intended primarily as a forum
for interaction and discussion. The workshop will provide proceedings to
registrants electronically (on a USB stick).  Depending on the quality, we
intend to invite a selection of extended versions of original (not
previously published) submissions to be included in relevant journal special
issues.
