ABOUT EASSS

---------------------------

The 24th European Agent Systems Summer School will be held at the School of
Computer Science at University College Dublin, Ireland from the 19th to the
23rd August, 2024. The EASSS 2023 is organised under the auspices of
EURAMAS (https://euramas.org/), the European Association for Multi-Agent
Systems.

The main goal of the European Agent Systems Summer School is to provide
exchange of knowledge among individuals and groups interested in various
aspects of autonomous systems. This dissemination is provided by formal
state-of-the-art courses conducted by leading experts in the field and by
informal meetings during the event. The school attracts both beginner and
experienced researchers, encouraging cooperation between representatives of
many branches of the Multi-Agent Systems research community.

The topics tackled within the field are becoming increasingly important due
to ubiquity of distributed systems, including Internet of Things,
intelligent buildings and cities, autonomous robots, etc. Both the
practical and theoretical aspects of Multi-Agent Systems are within the
scope of EASSS.

---------------------------

AIMS AND SCOPE

---------------------------

Since 1999, the annual European Agent Systems Summer School (EASSS) has
provided a highly successful forum for knowledge exchange between
researchers in the field of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. As
was the case with the earlier editions, EASSS 2024 will offer a rich
program of both introductory and advanced courses on a broad range of
topics in the area of Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. The
courses will be taught by leading researchers in the field, and are aimed
at advanced Masters students, PhD students, and other young researchers.

We are interested in tutorial proposals in all areas of current research in
Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. As a very rough guideline, any
topic that might be covered at the AAMAS conference or in the JAAMAS
journal would be suitable for EASSS. We aim for a mix of tutorials on
fundamental and well-established topics, as well as overviews of new and
emerging areas of research. Tutorials should cover an appropriate selection
of approaches and not specifically focus on the tutors' own contributions.
Besides providing a coherent overview of a specific research topic, we
specifically encourage tutorial proposals to articulate a clear link to
applications and pragmatic consideration of the fundamental topics
presented.

EASSS tutorials are typically 3 hours long, divided into two sessions of 90
minutes each. For details of how to submit a tutorial proposal, please see
below. We encourage both well-established senior researchers and younger
colleagues to submit proposals. Each tutorial is usually given by one or
two tutors. Exceptions are of course possible; for proposals by more than
two tutors, please justify this choice in the proposal and explain how you
intend to ensure the coherence of the tutorial. To support the tutors, we
can commit to the provision of up to 500 EUR per tutorial to cover the
travel and accommodation costs.

-------------------------

Programme

-------------------------

This year, we will offer a rich programme combining keynote speeches by
leading researchers, including: Prof. Munindar Singh, Prof. Virginia Dignum
and Gary Polhill.

These speeches will be complemented by a number of targeted tutorials
covering topics, such as: Deep Reinforcement Learning, Continual Learning,
Argumentation Dynamics, Safe Engineering of MAS, Game Theoretic
Verification of MAS and HPC for Agent Based Modellers.

The summer school will offer opportunities to network with your fellow
participants through a “Me-in-3” session and by engaging in work groups to
propose solutions based around a current research theme. The participants
will be asked to give a presentation on their work towards the end of the
workshop and will be invited to submit a group publication based on their
ideas.

On the final day of the summer school, participants will be given the
opportunity to apply their programming skills through a full-day hackathon.
