About EASSS 2021

The 22nd European Agent Systems Summer School (EASSS 2021) is organized by
the Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science Lab of the University of
Porto (LIACC), and held online, on July 19-23, 2021. EASSS 2021 is
organized under the auspices of the European Association for Multi-Agent
Systems (EURAMAS) and the Portuguese Association for Artificial
Intelligence (APPIA), as an Advanced School on Artificial Intelligence.

The main goal of EASSS is to provide an exchange of knowledge among
individuals and groups interested in various aspects of autonomous,
agent-based and multi-agent systems research and practice. This
dissemination is provided by formal state-of-the-art courses conducted by
leading experts in the field and by informal meetings during the event. The
school attracts both beginner and experienced researchers, encouraging
cooperation between representatives of many branches of the Multi-Agent
Systems research community.
