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 2021, the 18th 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, Thessaloniki 2020), 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 2021 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 2021 is a designated event of the European Association of Multi-Agent
Systems (EURAMAS): http://www.euramas.org

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Action and Planning

- Adaptation and Learning

- Agent Architectures

SUBMISSIONS

----------------------

EUMAS 2021 welcomes original, unpublished papers. Papers submitted shall
describe original work that has not been published or accepted for
publication, nor is currently under review by another conference or journal
(it might be on arXiv or a similar preprint server though).

NEW! Papers rejected from AAMAS, AAAI or IJCAI will be fast-tracked given
that their original reviews and an authors’ cover letter (indicating all
changes made) will be submitted. Extended abstracts from AAMAS also qualify
for this fast track.

Each submission will be peer-reviewed in a doubly-blind fashion. All
submissions should be formatted according to Springer's LNCS format and
contain at most 10 pages, plus any number of additional pages for
bibliography and, if needed, a clearly marked appendix. For templates and
instructions for authors, see  http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
Authors must submit their abstracts and papers through the EUMAS 2021
Easychair submission site https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eumas2021.

EUMAS 2021 accepted papers will be published by Springer in an LNCS volume.
As such, they will be made available to several indexing services
(including Scopus, Google Scholar, DBLP, 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 in their papers. We
urge the authors to follow these guidelines from the 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 for extended versions of the EUMAS-2021 best
paper award winner (see below) and the EUMAS-2021 best paper award
runner-up to be fast-tracked for the journal.
