================
The 25th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Multi-Agent
Systems (PRIMA 2024)
Abstract submission (extended): July 20
Submission deadline (extended): July 25
Dates: November 18-22nd, 2024
Venue: Clock Tower Centennial Hall, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan

================
Call for Papers
================
We invite you to submit your best work in the area of agents and
multi-agent systems to PRIMA-2024, the 25th International Conference on
Principles and Practice of Multi-Agent Systems, to be held in Kyoto in
November 2024.

================
Scope and Background
================
Software systems are rapidly becoming more intelligent in the functionality
they offer to users. They are also becoming more decentralized, with
components that act autonomously and must communicate among themselves or
with human users, to achieve their goals. Examples of such systems include
those in healthcare, disaster management, e-business, and smart grids. A
multi-agent perspective is crucial to the proper conceptualization,
deployment, and governance of such systems. Rooted in solid computational
and software engineering foundations, this perspective offers abstractions
such as intelligent agents, protocols, norms, organizations, trust and
incentives, among others. As a large, but still growing research field of
Computer Science, multi-agent systems today remain a unique enabler of
interdisciplinary research.

================
Areas of Interest
================
The conference areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Logic and Reasoning (e.g. Norms, Obligations, Deontic Logic,
Argumentation)
- Agent and Multi-Agent Learning (e.g. Reinforcement Learning, Evolutionary
approaches, Large Language Models)
- Engineering Multi-Agent Systems (e.g. Interaction Protocols, Formal
Specification and Verification)
- Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation (e.g. Artificial Societies, Virtual
Environments, Emergent Behavior)
- Collaboration & Coordination (e.g. Planning, Teamwork, Negotiation)
- Algorithmic Game Theory (e.g. Auctions and Mechanism Design, Bargaining
and Negotiation)
- Computational Social Choice (e.g. Voting, Fair Division, Resource
Allocation)
- Human-Agent Interaction (e.g. Adaptive Personal Assistants, Affective
Computing)
- Decentralized Paradigms (e.g. Cloud Computing, Big data, Cybersecurity)
- Ethics and Social Issues (e.g. Explainable AI, Multi-Agent Systems for
Social Good)
- Application Domains for Multi-Agent Systems (e.g. Healthcare, Transport
and Logistics, Games and Entertainment, etc)

================
Information for Authors
================
PRIMA 2024 invites submissions of original, unpublished work strongly
relevant to multi-agent systems. Apart from theoretical work, we encourage
the submission of reports on the development of applications or prototypes
of deployed agent systems, and of experiments that demonstrate novel agent
system capabilities. In addition to this, we also encourage the submission
of position and review papers that are of particular relevance to the
multi-agent community.

The papers submitted can be up to 16 pages in length, including references,
in the Springer LNCS format. All submitted papers must be in a form
suitable for double-blind review. All papers will be reviewed by at least
2-3 experts in the area following a detailed review form that will assess
the paper based on the significance and novelty of the idea, the technical
description of the proposal, clarity and organization, the evaluation
methodology, and any ethical considerations.

All accepted papers for the main track will be published in Springer's
Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series (LNCS/LNAI).
