WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
 MASS2013 is the international workshop on advances in theory, systems, 
 simulations, and real-world applications for multiagent-based societal 
 systems. The field of Multiagentbased Societal Systems is a new 
 interdisciplinary field that aims to apply techniques from multiagent 
 systems and related disciplines (for example, smart grid, green computing,
 life innovation, smart elderly care systems, etc.) to the balancing of 
 environmental, economic, and societal needs, in order to support 
 sustainable development and a sustainable future. Research in Multiagent-
 based Societal Systems is inherently interdisciplinary: it brings together
 multiagent computational fields and a variety of fields with a long 
 tradition in the study of smart city problems, such as environmental 
 sciences, biology, economics, and sociology. Multiagent systems, in 
 particular, can play a key role in addressing challenges in smart computing.
 MASS2013 will discuss, among others, the following aspects and topics of 
 the field of Multiagent-based Societal Systems, which have distinct 
 relationships with AAMAS main conference topics:
  -Power-aware Systems and Applications
  -Distributed Coordination of Resources
  -Systems, Applications and Services for Accessibility 
   and Personal Autonomy
  -Use of Sensors for Environmental Monitoring
  -Urban Computing for Sustainability
  -Green Computing
  -Sustainable computing
  -Next-generation transportation systems
  -Next-generation logistics
  -Smart Grids
  -Energy supply
  -Demand control
  -City design
  -Smart Home
  -Smart City
  -Smart Planet
  -Consensus and Negotiation by Civilians
  -Collective Intelligence for Green Computing


SUBMISSION
 Papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two referees from a group of 
 reviewers selected by the workshop organizers with the help of the program committee.
 Authors can submit papers (maximum length 8 pages) in PDF format through 
 the Easychair system at:
 https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mass2013 
 Camera-ready papers should follow the ACM proceedings guidelines, which is
 same formats of the main conference papers.
