DEADLINE APPROACHING

The deadline for EUMAS 2010 submissions is fast approaching!  Please

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.  This workshop is 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.

We are delighted to announce three distinguished invited speakers at
this workshop:

Professor Sarit Kraus
Professor Jerome Lang
Professor Katia Sycara

Further details of their talks will be available from the website
nearer the time of 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.
