We would like to cordially invite you to consider contributing a paper 
to ABC:MI’17 - held as a part of the Federated Conference on Computer 
Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS 2017).

FedCSIS an annual international multi-conference, this year organized 
jointly by the Polish Information Processing Society (PTI), Poland 
Section Computer Society Chapter and Czech Technical University in 
Prague, in technical cooperation with the IEEE Region 8, IEEE 
Chechoslovakia Section, IEEE Poland Section, IEEE Computer Society 
Technical Committee on Intelligent Informatics, IEEE Czechoslovakia 
Section Computer Society Chapter, Poland Section (Gdansk) Computer 
Society Chapter, IEEE SMC Technical Committee on Computational 
Collective Intelligence, Poland Section Computational Intelligence 
Society Chapter, ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing, Lodz 
(Poland) ACM Chapter, Committee of Computer Science of Polish Academy of 
Sciences, Polish Operational and Systems Research Society, Eastern 
Cluster ICT Poland, Polish Cluster of Research and Development of 
Internet of Things, Mazovia Cluster ICT.

TOPICS
=======================================

The Workshop primarily focuses on all aspects of the process that leads 
from the model of the problem domain to the actual agent-based solution. 
These aspects will cover both principled approaches and established 
practices of software engineering aimed at producing high quality 
software. In this context, research into the application of agent-based 
solutions to key challenges faced by software engineering (e.g. 
reduction of costs and delivery times, coping with a larger diversity of 
problems) will be of primary importance. ABC:MI Workshop welcomes 
submissions of original papers concerning all aspects of software agent 
engineering.

Topics include but are not limited to:

- Methodologies for design of agent systems
- Multi-agent systems product lines
- Modeling agent systems
- Agent architectures
- Agent-based simulations
- Simulating and verifying agent systems
- Agent benchmarking and performance measurement
- Agent communication, coordination and cooperation
- Agent languages
- Agent learning and planning
- Agent mobility
- Agent modeling, calculi, and logic
- Agent security
- Agents and Service Oriented Computing
- Agents in the Semantic Web
- Applications and Experiences

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
=======================================

Papers should be submitted by May 10, 2017 (strict deadline). Preprints 
will be published on a USB memory stick provided to the FedCSIS 
participants. Only papers presented during the conference will be 
submitted to the IEEE for inclusion in the Xplore Digital Library. 
Furthermore, proceedings, published in a volume with ISBN, ISSN and DOI 
numbers will posted at the conference WWW site. Moreover, most Events' 
organizers arrange quality journals, edited volumes, etc. and may invite 
selected extended and revised papers for post-conference publications 
(information can be found at the websites of individual events).
Extended versions of selected papers presented during the conference 
will be published as Special Issue(s) of:
- Scalable Computing; Practice and Experience
- Complex Adaptive Systems Modeling (publication fee waiver for the 
papers that are going to be selected is expected)
- Multiagent and Grid Systems
- Computer Science Journal (7 points in current ranking of MNiSW - this 
is something cryptic to the outsiders, but will be clear for scientists 
from Poland)
