Agents and multi-agent systems are related to a modern software paradigm that has long been recognized as a promising technology for constructing autonomous, complex, and intelligent systems.<br><br>Consisting of keynote talks by experts in the field, oral and poster presentations, AMSTA-21 will provide an excellent opportunity for researchers to discuss modern approaches and techniques for agent and multi-agent systems and their applications, as well as intelligent systems in the field of social networks, self-organization and trust.<br><br>Dates, Conference and Publication<br><ul><li>Submission Deadline: 11 Jan 2021</li><li>Acceptance Notification: 08 Feb2021</li><li>Camera Ready Submission: 01 Mar2021</li><li>Presentation at Conference: 14-16 June 2021</li><li>Publication: Springer; Series on Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies</li></ul>Scope<br><br>The AMSTA conference includes a broad range of topics applicable to Agents and Multi-agent Systems. The following topics are indicative of the scope of the conference, however, other relevant topics are applicable.<br><br>Agent and Multi-agent Systems Software agent is a program that performs actions defined by the user. A multi-agent system consists of autonomous and collaborative agents that have a particular degree of mobility and intelligence. It is intended to provide the researchers with an opportunity to exchange theoretical and technical knowledge, hands-on experience, as well as to discuss current development and explore trends in agent systems. The call is addressed to scientists and engineers from both academic and industrial environments, who design, develop, and implement software agents in different areas and applications.<br><br>New Digital and Knowledge-Economy<br><br>The modern economy is driven by technologies and knowledge. Digital technologies can free, shift, and multiply choices, often intruding on the space of other industries, by providing new ways of conducting business operations and creating values for customers and companies. Examples of technologies are mobile and cloud computing, big data analysis, business intelligence, artificial intelligence, social systems, computer embedded systems, and nature-inspired manufacturing, etc. We would therefore love to hear from both the research and industrial communities on their latest work on innovative technologies and applications that is potentially disruptive to industries. Furthermore, technologies need to work well with innovative business models to create wealth and welfare. In an attempt to bring the two communities together, we would therefore love to hear from business communities on their experiences for adopting technologies when creating new business models.<br><br>Industrial Track<br><br>The purpose of the Industrial Track is to promote research in our aforementioned topic areas and foster scientific exchange between researchers, practitioners, scientists, students, and engineers in multi-agent systems and disruptive technologies. We particularly recognize the importance of inter-disciplinary work to create today's Digital and Knowledge Economy. <br><br>Standard length scientific papers, an overview of research conducted in a company, and short visionary paper and poster presentation are therefore most welcome.<br></div><div><br></div><div>================ <br>Further Information <br>================</div><div><br>General Chairs: Prof. G.
