The PRIMA2019 Program Committee invites proposals for  the  Work-
shop Program, to be held In Turin on 28th to 29th October 2019.

PRIMA2019 workshops provide the ideal setting for participants to
discuss technical topics in an atmosphere  that  promotes  active
exchange  of  ideas:  researchers  can delve deeply into research
topics, focus on application issues, discuss  the  most  advanced
research  in  agent-based and multi-agent systems. Every year our
workshops attract an increasing number of top-tier researchers in
the  field,  proving to be the ideal prelude for the main confer-
ence.

We encourage proposers to aim for a program that is  both  varied
and interesting.  Interdisciplinary workshops that bring together
researchers and practitioners from different communities are  es-
pecially welcome.

Workshop formats that are innovative and go beyond the usual pre-
sentation of listing accepted papers  will  be  highly  regarded,
like panel discussions, demo sessions, invited talks.

Post-proceedings  of  PRIMA workshops are traditionally published
as a Springer LNAI volume.
