AI systems promise to address important societal challenges, such as
decarbonising our energy system, transitioning to on-demand mobility or
responding effectively to disasters. However, citizen end users are
often seen as peripheral to these systems, assumed to be passively
providing data and consuming services. The goal of this workshop is to
explore alternative approaches that treat citizen end users as
first-class agents with diverse needs and preferences, thus enabling
more trustworthy, fairer and potentially more widely accepted
sociotechnical solutions to pressing societal challenges.<br><br>C-MAS
is closely related to topics discussed at AAMAS, but with a focus on
human-centred approaches. We also encourage submissions that look at
applications of C-MAS to complex real-world problems. This workshop will
be relevant for researchers, both in industry and academia, whose
research affects and involves citizen end users. <br><br>For more information, please see <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/cmas24" target="_blank" style="">https://sites.google.com/view/cmas24</a> <br><br>Submission and important dates:<br>Participants
are invited to submit a short paper (4-6 pages, plus one page for
references, Springer LNCS format) describing their work on one or more
of the topics relevant to the workshop. Your paper should include a
title as well as all authors and affiliations. It should articulate the
objectives of the paper and provide a brief, but thorough description of
the research related to the theme of the workshop. Optionally, you may
include an appendix that does not count towards the page limit. We
encourage both mature research and work in progress. Accepted papers
will be invited to submit a camera-ready version to be included in the
open access pre-proceedings. All submissions to the workshop will be
reviewed by the organising committee and the program committee, with at
least two independent reviews per paper. <br><br>Authors are requested
to prepare their submissions by following the LNCS Springer format,
preferably using the LaTeX template provided, but an MS Word template is
also available. <br><br>All papers must be submitted through the workshop's EasyChair page: <a href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cmas2024" target="_blank" style="">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cmas2024</a> <br><br>Important dates:<br>— 5 February 2024: Deadline for paper submissions (23:59 Anywhere on Earth)<br>— 4 March 2024: Notification of acceptance following the review process<br>— 18 March 2024: Deadline for registering participation<br>— 1 April 2024: Deadline for submitting camera-ready papers<br>— 6 or 7 May 2024: C-MAS workshop<br>— Following the workshop: Invitation for full papers<br><br>Proceedings and special issue:<br>All
