AIMS AND SCOPE
---------------------------
In the past two decades, we have seen an enormous increase of interest in
agent-based computing and multi-agent systems (MAS). This field is set to
become one of the key intelligent systems technologies in the 21st century.
The EUMAS series aims to provide the main forum for academics and
practitioners in Europe to discuss current MAS research and applications.
EUMAS 2020, the 17th 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, Bergen 2018), and encourages and supports
activity in the research and development of multi-agent systems, in
academic and industrial efforts.
The conference aspires to be the primary European forum for researchers
interested in the theory and practice of autonomous agents and multi-agent
systems. EUMAS enables researchers 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 2020 offers three submission
types and formal proceedings. Also, we will be working hard to arrange for
the post-publication of selected papers in the form of a special issue of a
high-quality journal in the area.
EUMAS 2020 is a designated event of the European Association of Multi-Agent
Systems (EURAMAS): http://www.euramas.org <http://www.euramas.org/>
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Action and Planning
- Adaptation and Learning
- Agent Architectures
- Agent Programming Languages
- Agent Development Methodologies and Tools

SUBMISSIONS
----------------------
EUMAS 2020 welcomes both original, unpublished papers, and papers that have
been recently published in a relevant conference or journal.
We offer three types of submissions:
(1) *Full original papers* of 12 to 15 pages, describing work that has not
been published or 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 2020 Easychair submission site
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eumas2020.
EUMAS 2020 and AT 2020 accepted papers will be published by Springer in a
joint post-proceedings LNAI volume.
As such, they will be made available to several indexing services
(including Scopus, CPCI, EI Engineering Index, and more).
Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their
proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of
their papers.
Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs <https://goo.gl/hbsa4D>
in their papers. We urge the authors to follow these guidelines from
submission stage already.
Additional guidelines will be communicated after the conference to the
authors of accepted papers for the preparation of the final versions to be
included in the post-proceedings.
---------------------------------------------------
Opportunity for a JAAMAS publication
---------------------------------------------------
This year, the Journal of Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (JAAMAS)
will provide the opportunity to extended versions of the EUMAS-2020 best
paper award winner (see below), the EUMAS-2020 best paper award runner-up,
and one selected AT-2020 paper to be fast-tracked for the journal.
-------------------------
Best Paper Award
-------------------------
A Best Paper Award will be presented at the conference. The Award will be
accompanied by a monetary prize of 300 CHF for the recipients, and is
sponsored by the journal “Computers” https://www.mdpi.com/journal/computers
.
