3rd CALL FOR PAPERS

-----------------------------------------------------------
Ninth European Workshop on Multi-agent Systems (EUMAS 2011)
-----------------------------------------------------------

Maastricht (The Netherlands)
November 14th-15th, 2011

In the last two decades, we have seen a significant increase of
interest in agent-based computing. This field is now set to become one
of the key technologies in the 21st century. It is crucial 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, Agia Napa
2009, and Paris 2010), the aim of this Ninth European Workshop on
Multi-Agent Systems is to encourage and support activity in the
research and development of multi-agent systems, in academic and
industrial efforts.

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 could meet,
present (potentially preliminary) research results, problems, and
issues in an open and informal but academic environment.

Co-located with EUMAS 2011 are the 6th Joint Working Group Workshops
of the COST Action on AGREEMENT TECHNOLOGIES.

Demos track
-----------

The EUMAS 2011 DEMOs track is an opportunity for participants from
academia and industry to demonstrate their latest developments in
agent-based systems (software and/or hardware). Accepted Demo
submitters will be expected to present a poster and live demonstration
by at least one author during the designated time slot in Maastricht.

Demos proposals are to be submitted in form of a two-pages paper
including bibliography, following the same template of the main event.
Papers must be submitted online. see the workshop website for details.


Publication
-----------
Accepted regular papers and demo papers will be included in the
online proceedings and e-proceedings on memory stick.
