******************************************************************************************
16th EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS
EUMAS 2018
December 6-7, Bergen, Norway

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

---------------------------
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 2018, the 16th 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, Evry 2017), 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 2018 is a designated event of the European Association of
Multi-Agent Systems (EURAMAS):_http://www.euramas.org

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

EUMAS 2018 welcomes both original, unpublished papers, as well as
papers that have been published in a relevant conference or journal.

EUMAS 2018 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* of 6 to 8 pages 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 2018 Easychair submission site
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eumas2018.

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

EUMAS proceedings will be published as a Springer LNCS/LNAI
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 2018 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.
