ABOUT EASSS-2017

Since 1999, the annual European Agent Systems Summer School (EASSS) has
provided a highly successful forum for knowledge exchange between
researchers in the field of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems.
The previous editions of EASSS took place in Catania (2016), Barcelona
(2015), Chania (2014), London (2013), Valencia (2012), Girona (2011),
Saint-Etienne (2010), Turin (2009), Lisbon (2008), Durham (2007), Annecy
(2006), Utrecht (2005), Liverpool (2004), Bologna (2003), Barcelona
(2002), Prague (2001), Saarbruecken (2000), and Utrecht (1999).

The 19th European Agent Systems Summer School will be held at the
University of Gdansk, Poland, from the 7th to the 11th of August 2017.

As was the case with the earlier editions, EASSS-2017 will offer a rich
programme of both introductory and advanced courses on a broad range of
topics in the area of Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. The
courses are aimed at advanced Master's students, PhD students, and other
young researchers, and will be taught by leading researchers in the field.

EASSS is organised under the auspices of EURAMAS, the European
Association for Multiagent Systems (http://www.euramas.org/).

Baltic Sea. It is one of the country's main academic centres, as well as
one of the top tourist destinations. Highlights include the medieval
Hanseatic old town, a beautiful beach on the Baltic, the early 1900s spa
