<div dir="ltr">AAMAS 2023 invites proposals for the workshop program, to be held on
May 29-30, 2023, immediately prior to the main program of the AAMAS
conference.<div class="entry-content">
<p>The objective of the AAMAS 2023 workshop program is to stimulate and
facilitate discussion, interaction, and comparison of approaches,
methods, and ideas related to specific topics, both theoretical and
applied, in the general area of Autonomous Agents and Multiagent
Systems. The AAMAS 2023 workshops will provide an informal setting where
participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical
topics in an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange of ideas and
supports community development.</p>
<p>We invite submissions for workshop proposals for review. We encourage
workshops that focus on emerging topics and applications, on open
research questions and challenges, and on broader topics that are of
interest to a wider community. In addition, we also encourage workshops
that have had previous editions in AAMAS, and that could attract
communities that have been working in the same research area for some
years.</p>
<p>Workshops can vary in length from half a day to two days, though we
expect most to be one full day in duration. As attendance will be
limited to registered participants, workshop organizers and attendees
must register for their workshop, whose fee will be separate from the
main conference fee. Workshop attendees do not need to register for the
main AAMAS conference but are encouraged to do so.</p>
<p>AAMAS 2023 is expected to be run in-person in London, United Kingdom.
The workshops will be held in the same modality as the main conference.
So, we ask the workshop organizers to plan for on-site events with
possible remote presentations, if needed.</p>
<p>AAMAS 2023 reserves the right to cancel workshops whose attendance does not support their running costs.</p>

capacity of the organizers in leading a successful workshop, and the
capacity of the conference workshop program. Please note that AAMAS may
request proposers addressing similar or overlapping content areas to
