******************************************************************************* Industrial Applications Track of AAMAS 2018: July 10-15, 2018 in Stockholm *******************************************************************************
EXTENDED DEADLINES If your products involve agent technology, the message might be of interest to you! Present your applications/prototypes at the most influential agents conference and get in touch with junior and senior researchers in the field. Explore opportunities for future collaborations and meet your future employees. http://celweb.vuse.vanderbilt.edu/aamas18/callForPapers/#industrialApplications About AAMAS ------------------------------- AAMAS is the leading scientific conference for research in autonomous agents and multiagent systems. The AAMAS conference series was initiated in 2002 by merging three highly respected meetings: the International Conference on Multi-Agent Systems (ICMAS); the International Workshop on Agent Theories, Architectures, and Languages (ATAL); and the International Conference on Autonomous Agents (AA). The aim of the joint conference is to provide a single, high-profile, internationally respected archival forum for scientific research in the theory and practice of autonomous agents and multiagent systems. This edition will be a part of the Federated AI Meeting (FAIM) where AAMAS is co-located with several AI conferences including the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI)/European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI) and the International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML). In addition to the main conference, AAMAS 2018 will include: - Workshops - Tutorials - System demonstrations - Poster presentations for full papers and extended abstracts - Invited talks and panel discussions In addition to submissions in the main track, AAMAS 2018 will also have a special track on Industrial Applications. Special Track on Industrial Applications ------------------------------- The Industrial Applications Track invites industry practitioners and researchers to present application work that is deployed or on the verge of being deployed and uses agents/multi-agent systems technology in practice. Research from, and relevant to, the AAMAS community has permeated a variety of domains and applications, both as central to the application and in key supportive roles. For example, the community pursues research in topics including optimization, resource allocation, cognitive intelligence, learning, agent-based simulation, and game-theoretic equilibrium computation, and applies them in domains such as traffic routing, automotive systems, security, biomedicine, robotics, financial management, and internet market design. Ideas and technologies from this research are responsible for significant revenue-generation and cost-saving, as well as for supporting important public policy and business strategy decision-making. We are interested in hearing about how agent and multi-agent approaches transition into practice and what the current problems of interest are. This special track provides the ideal forum to present, discuss, and demonstrate compelling applications, agent system deployment experiences, and new business ideas. The goal is to promote the fostering of mutually-beneficial relationships between those doing foundational scientific research and those using autonomous agents and multi-agent systems in real-world commercial, non-profit, or government applications. Submitted material will be evaluated based on the use of agent/multi-agent systems technology for real problems over a reasonable duration, evidence of impact, and lessons for the agents/multi-agents community about what worked and what did not. Contributors will be given the opportunity to present their application at the conference. In addition to this, the track will offer the following features: - There will be a special award for the best industrial application contribution. - Attendees will be offered the opportunity to participate in special events (e.g. company academia speed dating and a demo session) bringing industrial partners, students and academics in contact. There will be joint panel session with practitioners and academics to discuss current trends in academia and industry and how to establish beneficial collaborations between industry and academia. Submission Instructions for Industrial Applications: - Authors should submit a presentation of their work in whatever electronic medium best shows the AAMAS relevant features of the application, whether a video, PPT, deployment, webpage or software. Acceptance to the track will be determined based on both the degree to which interesting agent technologies feature in and improve the deployed system, as well as the benefit to the community to understanding the challenges and solutions in the application. - Authors must submit a one page document accompanying the primary submission, briefly summarizing what interesting agent technologies are featured in the deployed system and the impacts those technologies have had. - Optionally, authors can submit an extended abstract (2 pages) or a full paper (8 pages), following the standard AAMAS submission instructions, describing the application at a more scientific level. Such papers will undergo a regular reviewing process with program committee members specially selected for the track. All accepted papers for the special track will be included in the proceedings. Detailed instructions can be found at: http://celweb.vuse.vanderbilt.edu/aamas18/submissions/ The submission tool for all material (video, PPT, one page description as well as optional paper) is confmaster. If you don't have a login to this tool, you will be requested to make an account. Note that at least one of the authors of each submission is required to register, attend, and present the work at the conference.
