                     ABOUT EASSS-2018
**********************************************************************

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 20th European Agent Systems Summer School will be held at the
University of Maastricht, The Netherlands, from the 18th to the
22nd of June 2018.

As was the case with the earlier editions, EASSS-2018 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 will be taught by leading researchers in the
field and are aimed at Masters and PhD students, but can be attended
by any interested researcher.

EASSS 2018 is organised under the auspices of EURAMAS, the
European Association for Multi-Agent Systems
(http://www.euramas.org/).

*** We invite proposals from members of the research community who
are willing to offer tutorials at EASSS-2018. ***

We are interested in tutorial proposals in all areas of current
research in Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. As a very
rough guideline, any topic that might be covered at the AAMAS
conference or in the JAAMAS journal would be suitable for EASSS.

We aim for a mix of tutorials on fundamental and well-established
topics, as well as overviews of new and emerging areas of
research.

Tutorials should cover an appropriate selection of approaches and
not specifically focus on the tutors' own contributions. Besides
providing a coherent overview of a specific research topic, we
specifically encourage tutorial proposals to articulate a clear
link to applications and pragmatic consideration of the
fundamental topics presented.

We encourage both well-established senior researchers and younger
colleagues to submit proposals. Each tutorial is usually given by
one or two people. Exceptions are of course possible; for proposals
by more than two tutors, please justify this choice in the proposal
and explain how you intend to ensure the coherence of the
tutorial.

To support the tutors, we can commit to the provision of up to
400 EUR per tutorial to cover the travel and accommodation costs.

**********************************************************************
