******************************************************************************************
15th EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS
EUMAS 2017
December 14-15, Evry, France
https://eumas2017.ibisc.univ-evry.fr
******************************************************************************************

---------------------------
AIMS AND SCOPE
---------------------------

In the last two decades, we have seen a significant increase of interest 
in agent-based computing. This field is now set to become one of the key 
intelligent systems technologies in the 21st century. The aim of the 
EUMAS series is to provide a forum for academics and practitioners in 
Europe at which current research and application issues are presented 
and discussed.

EUMAS 2017, the 15th instalment of the conference series, follows the 
tradition of previous editions (Oxford 2003, Barcelona 2004, Brussels 
2005, Lisbon 2006, Hammamet 2007, Bath 2008, Agia Napa 2009, Paris 2010, 
Maastricht 2011, Dublin 2012, Toulouse 2013, Prague 2014, Athens 2015, 
Valencia 2016), and aims to encourage and support activity in the 
research and development of multi-agent systems, in academic and 
industrial efforts.

The conference is primarily intended as a European forum for anybody 
interested in the theory and practice of autonomous agents and 
multi-agent system to meet, present challenges, preliminary and mature 
research results in an open and informal environment. To attract 
students as well as experienced researchers, preliminary as well as 
mature work, EUMAS 2017 offers three submission types and formal 
proceedings. Also, post-publication in form of a special issues of a 
high-quality journal in the area are planned.

EUMAS is co-located with the 5th edition of the International Agreement 
Technologies (AT) Conference. This will allow us to produce a rich and 
inspiring program of high-quality papers reporting original results. 
Sessions of both conferences will be open to all participants of EUMAS 
and AT.

EUMAS 2017 is a designated event of the European Association of 
Multi-Agent Systems (EURAMAS):_http://www.euramas.org

SUBMISSIONS
---------------------

EUMAS 2017 welcomes both original, unpublished papers, as well as papers 
that have been published in a relevant conference or journal.

EUMAS 2017 offers three types of submissions:

(1) *Full original papers*of 12 to 15 pages, describing work that has 
not been previously published, accepted for publication, nor is 
currently under review by another conference or journal.

(2) *Short original papers*of6 to 8pages reporting on views, ambitions 
or work in progress that has not been previously published, accepted for 
publication, or is not currently under review by another conference or 
journal.

(3) *Published papers*up to 15 pages reporting on interesting and 
relevant work that has been published (or accepted for publication) in 
the last 18 months.

Each submission will be peer-reviewed. All submissions should be 
formatted according to Springer's LNCS format. For templates and 
instructions for authors, see 
_http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html_. We request the 
submission of title and abstract prior to paper submission to support 
the tight schedule of reviewing. Authors must submit their abstracts and 
papers through the EUMAS 2017 Easychair submission site 
_https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=europeanconferencesi_.

-----------------------
PROCEEDINGS
-----------------------

EUMAS proceedings will be published as a Springer LNCS/LNAI (post-) 
proceedings volume (_www.springer.com/lncs 
<http://www.springer.com/lncs>_). Full research papers and short papers 
describing original, unpublished work (categories 1 and 2) accepted at 
EUMAS 2015 will be included in the proceedings.

We will give authors of accepted papers the opportunity to revise the 
camera-ready version of their paper(s) in order to incorporate feedback 
received upon the presentation of their work during the conference.
