CALL FOR TUTORIALS

===================


AAMAS 2024 – The 23rd Int. Conf. on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems


Date: 6-10 May 2024

Location: Auckland, New Zealand


See this call on the AAMAS 2024 website:

https://www.aamas2024-conference.auckland.ac.nz/calls/call-for-tutorials/


The AAMAS 2024 Organizing Committee invites proposals for the Tutorial Program, to be held on May 6-7, 2024, immediately before the main conference.


Tutorials should serve one or more of the following objectives:


* Introduce novices to major topics of AAMAS research.

* Provide instruction in established practices and methodologies.

* Survey a mature area of AAMAS research or practice.

* Motivate and explain an AAMAS topic of emerging importance.

* Introduce expert non-specialists to an AAMAS area.

* Survey an area of agent research especially relevant for people from industry.

* Present a novel synthesis combining distinct lines of AAMAS work.

* Introduce AAMAS audiences to an external topic that can motivate, use, or be useful to AAMAS research.


Areas of interest include all of those listed in the call for the technical track (https://aamas2024-conference.auckland.ac.nz/calls/call-for-papers/).


Tutorials will be half-day long and will be in person - online/remote versions will not be accepted. A few full-day tutorials may be accepted, but the proponents need to motivate their request when submitting their proposal.


== Important Dates ==


* Proposal Submission:  January 9, 2024 (23:59 UTC-12)

* Author Notifications:  January 31, 2024 (23:59 UTC-12)

* Making the tutorial site available on the web:  March 1st

* Tutorial Forum Presentations:  May 6-7, 2024


== Conference Dates ==


* Tutorials, Doctoral Consortium, Workshops:  May 6-7, 2024

* Main Conference:  May 8-10, 2024


== Submission Requirements ==


Proposals should be sent to aamas24tutorials at gmail.com<mailto:aamas24tutorials at gmail.com> as an attached pdf file.


Tutorial proposals should be 2 to 4 pages in length, formatted using the AAMAS paper template, and should contain the following information:


* A short title of the tutorial.

* A brief description of the tutorial, suitable for inclusion in the conference registration brochure.

* A detailed outline of the tutorial, including preferred length (half or full day).

* Characterization of the potential target audience for the tutorial, including prerequisite knowledge.

* A description of why the tutorial topic would be of interest to a substantial part of the AAMAS audience.

* At this point the conference, including the tutorials, is planned as face-to-face.

* A brief resume of the presenter(s), which should include name, postal address, phone numbers, email address, background in the tutorial area, any available example of work in the area (ideally, a published tutorial-level article on the subject), evidence of teaching experience (including references that address the proposer’s presentation skills as applicable), and evidence of scholarship in the area. Information about previous tutorials delivered by the presenters (if any).

* The name and e-mail address of the corresponding presenter. The corresponding presenter should be available for e-mail correspondence during the evaluation process, in the case clarifications and discussions on the scope and content of the proposal are needed.


The evaluation of the proposal will consider the level of general interest for AAMAS attendees, the quality of the proposal, the feasibility of running it in the proposed mode, the expertise and skills of the presenters, and recent tutorials on the same or related topics at AAMAS.


We emphasize that the primary criteria for evaluation will be whether a proposal is interesting, well-structured, and motivated, rather than the perceived experience/standing of the proposer.

The overall goal in the selection process is to compose a balanced program of excellent tutorials. Thus, even good proposals might be rejected. In the case of several closely related proposals the tutorial chairs might propose their authors to combine the proposals into a single tutorial.


== Responsibilities (with respect to accepted proposals) ==


AAMAS will be responsible for:


* Providing logistic support and a meeting place for tutorials.

* Together with the organizers, determining the tutorial date and time.

* Advertising the availability of the tutorial material to the AAMAS 2024 participants.


Tutorial organizers will be responsible for:


* Providing AAMAS with a link to a complete tutorial notes by  March 1st 2024.

* Providing a website for the tutorial, which will include title and abstract of the tutorial, presenters’ details, outline, tutorial notes and related reading material. The Tutorial co-chairs will ask the Tutorial organizers to follow some common format and style for their web sites, in order to make them as homogeneous as possible. More details will be provided upon acceptance.

* Presenting the tutorial at AAMAS 2024.


AAMAS reserves the right to cancel any tutorial if the above responsibilities are not fulfilled, if deadlines are missed, or if too few attendees register for the tutorial to support the costs of running the tutorial.
