1st Call for Papers
========================================================


=================================
INTRODUCTION
=================================
There is a growing interdisciplinary community of researchers and
research groups working on logical aspects of MAS from the perspectives
of logic, artificial intelligence, computer science, game theory, and related
disciplines.
The LAMAS workshop serves the community as a constructive platform for presentation
and exchange of ideas.

The workshop is intended to cover, but it is not limited to, the following subjects:

- Logical systems for specification, analysis, and reasoning about MAS
- Modeling MAS with logic-based models
- Logic in game theory
- Logic in social choice theory
- Deductive systems and decision procedures for logics for MAS
- Development, complexity analysis, and implementation of algorithmic
  methods for formal verification of MAS
- Logic-based tools for MAS
- Applications of logics in MAS

=================================
SUBMISSION
=================================
Authors are invited to submit papers in the following three categories:

- Regular papers up to 15 pages, describing original unpublished
  research. Position papers and visionary work in progress can also be
  submitted in this category. Simultaneous submission to another venue
  is not allowed.

- System descriptions of up to 12 pages, describing new systems or
  significant upgrades of existing ones.

- Extended abstracts of 2-5 pages reporting interesting and relevant
  work that has been published (or accepted for publication) in the last
  12 months.

Submissions should be anonymous, subject to double-blind reviewing
procedure. Each submission will be reviewed by at least 2 PC members.

Papers must be in PDF format and prepared according to the Springer LNCS
format. For templates and instructions for authors, please see

=================================
PROCEEDINGS AND POST-PROCEEDINGS
(Journal Special Issue of STUDIA LOGICA)
=================================

All accepted workshop papers will be made available to workshop registrants
in electronic form. No formal publication of workshop papers is planned,
besides the selected "visionary paper" and "best paper" as explained
below.

Workshop post-proceedings are planned as a journal special issue of STUDIA LOGICA.
Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit to the special issue. All
submissions will be subject to another reviewing and selection process according
to the standards of STUDIA LOGICA.

=================================
VISIONARY PAPER AND BEST PAPER
=================================

The most “visionary paper” will be published by Springer in a book under the Lecture
Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) - Hot Topics series. The book will be a
compilation of the most visionary papers of the AAMAS-2016 Workshops, where one paper
will be selected from each AAMAS-2016 workshop.

Additionally, the “best paper” will be published by Springer in a book under the
Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) series. The book will be a
compilation of the best papers of the AAMAS-2016 Workshops, where one paper will be
selected from each AAMAS-2016 workshop.

Authors of the selected most visionary paper and the best paper are expected to provide
their latex files promptly upon request.
