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-competitions/


We are glad to announce the second edition of the AAMAS Competition track
at AAMAS 2024 to be held in Auckland, New Zealand between May 6-10, 2024.

Competitions are an effective mechanism for motivating researchers to
enhance discussions, share knowledge, and boost development and evaluation
of theory and practice of autonomous agents and multiagent systems. By
proposing challenging competitions to the AAMAS community, competition
proposers contribute to pushing the state-of-the-art in specific areas or
to solving problems of practical importance.

We invite competition proposals on topics of interest to the AAMAS
community. We encourage submissions from emerging areas or novel
application scenarios relevant to the AAMAS community. But also submissions
from established areas for which the competition may serve as a stimulus to
advance theory and practice or renew the interest of young researchers in
the area. We highly value interdisciplinary topics that have the potential
to attract a significant cross-section of the community.

Proposer(s) of accepted competition proposals will be encouraged to submit
a Demo paper at AAMAS 2025 summarizing their experience at the 2024
conference.

== Important Dates ==
