C-MAS 2024: The Second International Workshop on Citizen-Centric Multiagent
Systems

Large-scale AI systems promise to address important societal challenges,
such as decarbonising our energy system, transitioning to on-demand
mobility or responding effectively to disasters. However, citizen end users
are often seen as peripheral to these systems, assumed to be passively
providing data and consuming services. The goal of this workshop is to
explore alternative approaches that treat citizen end users as first-class
agents with diverse needs and preferences, thus enabling more trustworthy,
fairer and potentially more widely accepted sociotechnical solutions to
pressing societal challenges.

C-MAS is closely related to topics discussed at AAMAS, but with a focus on
human-centred approaches. We also encourage submissions that look at
applications of C-MAS to complex real-world problems. This workshop will be
relevant for researchers, both in industry and academia, whose research
affects and involves citizen end users.

Submission and important dates:
Participants are invited to submit a short paper (4-6 pages, plus one page
for references, Springer LNCS format) describing their work on one or more
of the topics relevant to the workshop. Your paper should include a title
as well as all authors and affiliations. It should articulate the
objectives of the paper and provide a brief, but thorough description of
the research related to the theme of the workshop. Optionally, you may
include an appendix that does not count towards the page limit. We
encourage both mature research and work in progress. Accepted papers will
be invited to submit a camera-ready version to be included in the open
access pre-proceedings. All submissions to the workshop will be reviewed by
the organising committee and the program committee, with at least two
independent reviews per paper.

Authors are requested to prepare their submissions by following the LNCS
Springer format, preferably using the LaTeX template provided, but an MS
Word template is also available.

All papers must be submitted through the workshop's EasyChair page:
