From: Amblard Frederic (frederic.amblard@CLERMONT.cemagref.fr)
Date: lun jui 30 2001 - 10:26:09 CEST
The Fourth European Agent Systems Summer School (EASSS'02)
Bologna, Italy 8-12 July, 2002
!!! CALL FOR COURSE PROPOSALS !!!
After successful Summer Schools on Agent Systems in Utrecht,
Saarbruecken and Prague, which have attracted over 150 students each
year, Agentlink (www.agentlink.org) is planning to organise the fourth
such event in Bologna, Italy in 2002.
The Fourth European Agent Systems Summer School, will take place in
Bologna, Italy, 8-12 July, 2002, one week before the First
International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems
will be held there.
Researchers and lecturers in the field of agent-based systems are
invited to submit proposals for courses. Typically, courses are 4
hours in total, but deviations are possible. A representative sample
of courses can be found in volume 2086 of Springer's LNAI series,
"Multi-Agent Systems and Applications". Relevant topics vary from
foundational issues, social behaviour, learning and meta-reasoning,
through applications in robotics, manufacturing, etc (for a detailed
topic list, see below).
Accomodation and subsistence expenses for tutors will be provided, and
attendance at other courses is free, but tutors are encouraged to find
alternative sources to support travel to Bologna.
Tutors are invited to submit propsosals for courses, including a
description of 1 page A4, experience of the tutor, level of the course
(beginners, advanced) and duration (2, 6, or, preferably, 4 hours), by
email, to Wiebe van der Hoek (wiebe@cs.uu.nl) by 14th October 2001.
Deadline for receipt of proposals: 14 October, 2001
Notification of acceptance: 1 November, 2001
Slides and/or other materials for proceedings: 1 March, 2002
