[agents] First Call for Demos: 14th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS 2015)

[Amit Chopra]

Istanbul, Turkey, May 4-8, 2015

http://www.aamas2015.com


The goal of the AAMAS DEMOs track is to provide opportunities for
participants from academia and/or industry to present their latest
developments in agent-based software and/or robotic systems. Interactive
systems, robotic systems and novel applications are particularly welcome.
There will be a "Best Demo Award."

Authors of accepted papers and posters in the main track of the AAMAS
conference, as well as workshop presenters, are particularly encouraged to
submit! (You'll be there anyway - this is another opportunity to share your
work and discuss your results in detail with conference attendees who visit
your Demo!)

Examples of demos include but are not limited to:

- Single- and multi-agent robotic systems
- Interactive agent-based software systems
- Personal robotics
- Agent-based simulation environments
- Innovative applications of agent-based systems or prototypes
- Agent-based games
- Agent platforms and development environments
- Open-source software tools for agent-based system development
- Human-robot interactive systems
- Virtual agents and interactive virtual environments

The organizers will make every effort to facilitate demo requirements. If
you have unusual requirements please contact the organizers in advance. At
a minimum, we will provide a poster board, a monitor, and a table for each
demonstration.



*** SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS ***

Submissions accepted for the demonstration session will be advertised on
the AAMAS website. Each Demo submission must consist of the following:

1. Paper: A 2-page paper in which the authors describe the system to be
demonstrated. The paper should describe the application domain, the problem
scenario, the technology used, the agent/multi-agent techniques involved,
the original contribution and innovations of the system, its live and
interactive aspects, etc. Papers MUST BE PREPARED IN PDF format using the
AAMAS style.

2. A list of requirements/description of demo setting. This list should be
attached to the extended abstract, in a separate page.

3. Video or PPT or other media: The paper must contain a URL linking to a
demonstration video no more than 5 minutes in length (e.g. YouTube) or a
Powerpoint presentation showing and explaining what happens. Other formats
are also possible if they can more clearly illustrate the demo. The
objective is to give a precise idea, in 5 minutes, of what the demo will
look like.

Accepted Demos will have the 2-page papers included in the AAMAS
proceedings.

Submissions will be managed using EasyChair.

*** SELECTION PROCESS ***

The submission and selection processes for the AAMAS 2014 Demos will be
separate from that of the main conference. Each submission will be assessed
by the Demos Program Committee. The authors will receive a brief report
with the result of the evaluation with the notification. The main
evaluation criteria are:

- Relevance to the AAMAS conference
- Significance and originality
- Presentation and technical quality
- Maturity and readiness for demonstration
- Potential for public interaction
- Potential impact in the intended application domain
- Potential interest to a broader audience

At least one author of each accepted demonstration is required to register
and to attend the conference to give the demonstration.
