==================

International Summer School on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems
https://sis.smu.edu.sg/aamas2016-summerschool
=================================================

The 2016 international summer school on autonomous agents and multiagent
systems will be held from 6th-8th May 2016, right before the AAMAS
conference at the School of Information Systems, Singapore Management
University. The summer school would provide mini-lectures suited for
graduate students and early career researchers working broadly in the area
of autonomous agents. The topics covered would include important areas in
autonomous agents and multiagent systems such as:

- Agent cooperation

- Agent reasoning and planning

- Agent coordination

- Mechanism design

- Game theory

- Learning and adaptation

The summer school will consist of 5 mini-courses (each roughly 3-4 hours
long) given by distinguished speakers in the field of autonomous agents and
multiagent systems. These courses can provide introduction to the field as
well as provide focus on the current research frontier.

Students and researchers interested in multiagent systems research are
welcome to attend the school. Student registration is *FREE*. As the space
is limited, we encourage early registrations by attendees to guarantee a
place.

Based on the available funding, deserving candidates (particularly from
under-represented regions) will be considered for travel support.

The list of speakers includes (the detailed schedule will be available
soon):

- Prof. Maria Gini (University of Minnesota Twin Cities)

- Prof. David Hsu (National University of Singapore)

- Prof. Kevin Leyton-Brown (University of British Columbia)

- Prof. Milind Tambe (University of Southern California)

- Prof. Makoto Yokoo (Kyushu University)
