[agents] AAMAS 2023: Final Call for Demos

[Amit Chopra]

The AAMAS Demo track aims to provide opportunities for participants
from academia and industry to present their latest developments in
agent-based software and robotic systems. Novel applications and
interactive systems are particularly welcome. Student researchers are
encouraged to submit. A “Best Application” will be selected and
awarded by the Demo Program Committee.

Demonstrations of interest include:

Systems implementing agents in real-world applications in areas such
as transportation, robotics, grid, e-commerce, health care, military,
etc.

Systems using agents in virtual settings, which include simulation
systems, VR, and games.

Systems supporting the development of agents, which include
development environments and tools to assist developers in the
specification, design, implementation, and testing of agent systems.


Accepted Demo papers will be included in the AAMAS proceedings. Videos
of accepted demo papers will be played during breaks and the demo
sessions to provide maximum visibility to the systems.

At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and
attend the conference to give a live demo.


SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Each Demo submission must consist of a short paper, a video, and, for
student projects, a supervisor endorsement note. The submission
requirements are the following.

Paper. The paper should include a maximum of four pages and be
structured as follows:

Pages 1-2 should describe the system to be demonstrated. More
precisely, the authors are encouraged to discuss the application
domain, the problem scenario, the technology used, the
agent/multi-agent techniques involved, the system’s innovations, the
system’s live and interactive aspects, etc.

Page 3 should include bibliographic references.

Page 4 should provide the organizers with a list of requirements for
the demo setting at the conference.

Papers must be prepared using the AAMAS format and submitted as PDF
files. Papers that do not adhere to the guidelines above will be
rejected.

Video. The paper should contain a URL linking to a demonstration video
of no more than 5 minutes in duration (QuickTime or YouTube format).
The video should include the following elements:

Introduction: Introduce the concept/system.

Aim: What is the target group for the system?

Main features: Present the system’s main features and discuss the
benefits as well as innovations.

Development: Architecture overview, agent-based techniques, and
technologies used for development.

Demo. Execution of the system that highlights its features and benefits.

Supervisor Endorsement (for student projects only). A brief note from
the student's supervisor describing the student's contribution to the
project.

Submissions should be made through the Demo track submission system.

Accepted Demos papers will be included in the AAMAS proceedings.


SELECTION PROCESS

The submission and selection processes for the AAMAS 2023 Demos will
be separate from the main conference’s. Each submission will be
assessed by the Demo Program Committee. The authors will receive a
brief evaluation report with the notification. The evaluation criteria
are:

Relevance to the AAMAS conference

Significance and originality

Live demo presentation and technical quality

Video content and presentation

Maturity and readiness for demonstration

Potential for public interaction

Potential impact in the intended application domain
