Call for Papers: International Workshop on Coordination, Organizations, Institutions and Norms (COIN at AAMAS2017)

https://coin-workshop.github.io/coin-2017-brazil/

A satellite event of AAMAS 2017, in Sao Paulo, Brazil

The workshop, a long-standing satellite event of past versions of AAMAS, IJCAI and ECAI for more than 10 years, aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in autonomous agents and multi-agent systems working on the scientific and technological aspects of social coordination, organisational theory, normative (multi-agent) systems, artificial or electronic institutions and norm-aware agents.

We invite contributions of papers on mathematical, logical, computational, philosophical and pragmatic issues related to coordination, organizations, institutions and norms, as well as modelling, animation and simulation techniques for open MAS, exploration of COIN topics in socio-technical systems, tools, prototypes and real-life systems adopting COIN-related approaches, experimental investigation of the effectiveness of COIN-related technologies, human-oriented representation and application of COIN-related topics (e.g., norms in natural language for humans, norms and coordination for practical planning), and challenging or innovative ideas relevant to the field.

The workshop complements the main AAMAS program by allowing a more relaxed and in-depth discussion of MAS from a social perspective and has proven to be an event that encourages debate, and fosters collaboration among researchers in these topics. COIN has a B-rating on the Computing Research and Education Association of Australasia (CORE) conference ranking list (http://portal.core.edu.au/conf-ranks/2160/), and has a B4 rating by the Qualis ranking from CAPES (http://qualis.capes.gov.br).

Important Dates (subject to changes)

-   February 7, 2017: Deadline for paper submissions
-   March 2, 2017: Paper notifications sent
-   March 9, 2017: Camera-ready copy due
-   May 8 or 9, 2017: Date of workshop

Instructions for Authors

For preparation of papers please follow the instructions for authors on Springer's LNCS Web pages. The length of each paper including figures and references may not exceed 16 pages. All papers must be written in English and submitted in PDF format. For submission of papers, please use the EasyChair site at:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=coin2017

Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will attend the workshop to present the work.

Proceedings

Preliminary proceedings will be available before the conference. They will also be distributed to AAMAS 2017 registrants in electronic form. As with previous COIN workshops, we will have an LNCS post-proceedings. Authors will be invited to submit revised and extended versions of their paper for consideration for a Springer LNCS volume combining the post-proceedings of this workshop with those for a second COIN workshop to be held later in 2017. Revised papers must take into account the discussion held during the workshop; hence, only papers that are presented during the workshop will be considered for inclusion in the post-proceedings volume.
