[agents] CALL FOR PAPERS -- European Agent Systems Summer School Student Session 2011, Girona, Catalonia (Spain)

[Tina Balke]

Apologies for multiple copies.
Please Distribute this Call for Papers of European Agent Systems Summer
School (EASSS) Student Session to interested students.



13th European Agent Systems Summer 
Girona, Catalonia (Spain)
July 11-15, 2011

Call for submissions to the Student Session
Take your chance – Participate in the European Agent Systems Summer
School and present your work to fellow students and researchers!


The Student Session is designed to encourage student interaction and
feedback from the tutors. By providing the students with a
conference-like setup, both in the presentation and in the review
process, students have the opportunity to prepare their own submission,
go through the selection process (peer review) and possibly present
their work to themselves and their interests to their fellow students as
well as internationally leading experts in the agent field, both from
the theoretical and the practical sector. 

All submissions will be peer-reviewed and accepted paper submissions
will be assigned a 20 minute slot for presentation. Typically a
presentation will either detail the intended approach to a problem or
ask a specific question, directed at the audience. In addition, selected
submission authors will be given the opportunity to present their work
in form of a poster that will be displayed at EASSS'11. Moreover, all
accepted submissions will be published in online proceedings. 

As the goal is to provide the speakers with constructive feedback and
the means to be introduced to the community, the competitive elements
often found in conferences (best paper award, best presentation award)
are intentionally omitted. The peer review will focus not on the
magnitude of the presented material but on the clarity of the formulated
material or whether or not the posed question is of relevance to a
majority of students. Giving a good presentation is a difficult task,
practicing it is the benefit of this session. The extend to which the
audience has understood the details should be the criterion by which the
presentations are judged.
