The 24th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Multi-Agent
Systems (PRIMA 2022), Hybrid, Valencia, Spain, 16-18 November

**********UPDATED: DEADLINE EXTENSION, JOURNAL PUBLICATION, CALL FOR
TUTORIALS**************

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PRIMA 2022 invites submissions of original, unpublished, theoretical and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.
   -

   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works of the authors, it should not include unpublished works.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:

This year, the Journal of Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems
<https://www.springer.com/journal/10458> (JAAMAS, Q4 Computer Science
Artificial Intelligence, Impact Factor 1.431) will provide the opportunity
for extended versions of the PRIMA-2022 best paper award winner and the
PRIMA-2022 best paper award runner-up to be fast-tracked for the journal.

A selection of PRIMA-2022 papers will be invited to submit revised and
extended versions for publication in Annals of Mathematics and Artificial
Intelligence <https://www.springer.com/journal/10472> (Q4, Computer
Science, Artificial Intelligence, Impact Factor 0.789).

Doctoral Consortium:

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

Call for tutorials

PRIMA 2022 will hold, in addition to its research program, a tutorial
program focused on the areas of interest of the multi-agent systems
community. The goal of tutorials is to provide an in-depth introduction to
emerging or established research areas in the multi-agent community. Topics
may include research fields, applications, and tools that support the
research carried out in multi-agent systems. Ideally, tutorials should be
attractive to a broad audience. Mainly, it should provide an introduction
to the topic of interest, but it should also cover some in-depth details
for more advanced audiences. We hereby invite you to submit a tutorial
proposal on a topic relevant to the PRIMA 2022 audience.

Tutorial deadline: 10th June 2022
