PRIMA 2022 : The 23rd International Conference on Principles and Practice of
Multi-Agent Systems ( <https://prima2022.webs.upv.es/>
https://prima2022.webs.upv.es/)

 

Software systems are becoming more intelligent in the kind of functionality
they offer users. At the same time, systems are becoming more decentralized,
with components that represent autonomous entities who must communicate
among themselves to achieve their goals. Examples of such systems range from
healthcare and emergency relief and disaster management to e-business and
smarts grids. A multiagent worldview is crucial to properly conceptualizing,
building, and governing such systems. It offers abstractions such as
intelligent agents, protocols, norms, organizations, trust, incentives, and
so on, and is rooted in solid computational and software engineering
foundations. As a large but still growing research field of Computer
Science, multiagent systems today remains a unique enabler of
interdisciplinary research.

 

*Information for Authors

PRIMA 2022 invites submissions of original, unpublished, theoretical and
applied work strongly relevant to multiagent systems, including reports on
the development of prototype and deployed agent systems, and of experiments
that demonstrate novel agent system capabilities. An indicative list of
topics is provided below.

 

The papers can be submitted to one of the following categories:

- Regular papers: these papers can be up to 16 pages in length, including
references, in the Springer LNCS format. 

- Survey papers: these papers can be up to 16 pages in length, including
references, in the Springer LNCS format. Review papers must clearly indicate
it in the paper title (e.g., "SURVEY: Title"). 

- Blue-Sky papers: these papers can be up to 8 pages in length, including
references, in the Springer LNCS format. These 'early-innovation' papers
will be reviewed with an emphasis on novelty/originality of the idea.

- Demo-papers: these papers can be up to 4 pages in length including
references, in the Springer LNCS format. The paper should have a link of a
video (maximal duration 10 minutes). 

 

All the submitted papers must be in a form suitable for double-blind review.
In order to make blind reviewing possible, authors must omit their names and
affiliations from the paper. Also, while the references should include all
published literature relevant to the paper, including previous works of the
authors, it should not include unpublished works. When referring to one's
own work, use the third person rather than the first person. For example,
say "Previously, Foo and Bar [2] have shown that
", rather than "In our
previous work [2] we have shown that
". Such identifying information can be
added back to the final camera-ready version of accepted papers.

 

All accepted papers for the main track will be published in Springer's
Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series (LNCS/LNAI).

 

*Journal Publication

A selected number of papers will also be invited to submit an extended
version to a fast track of some international journal(s).

 

*Doctoral Consortium

PRIMA 2022 will hold a doctoral consortium meeting where students can
present their work and interact with mentors. 

 

*Conference Dates

November, 16-18, 2022

 

*Venue

Valencia (Spain) - We plan to have a face-to-face conference, although some
online events will be held for participation. The conference will take place
at Universitat Politècnica de València. If participants may not attend
physically, they will have the opportunity to present their work online. 

 

*Important Dates

- Submission deadline: June 3, 2022 (11:59PM UTC-12) 

- Rebuttal: August 22-26, 2022

- Notification: September 7, 2022

- Camera ready submission: September 20, 2022

- Conference dates: November 16-18, 2022
