> THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL JOINT CONFERENCE ON AUTONOMOUS AGENTS
> AND MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS (AAMAS-04)
>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
>++++++++++++++++++++
>
>Location: New York
>Dates: Monday 19 July - Friday 23 July 2004
>
>AAMAS04 welcomes the submission of original research papers centered
>around the themes of autonomous agents and multiagent systems,
>particularly those relating to the topic areas mentioned below. We
>encourage theoretical, experimental, methodological, and applications
>papers. Theory papers should make their relevance to the AAMAS community
>clear, and applied papers should make their scientific/technical
>contributions evident. Papers that address isolated agent capabilities
>per se (such as planning or learning) are discouraged, unless they are
>placed in the overall context of autonomous agent architectures or of
>multiagent system organization and performance.
>
>Evaluation is considered a desirable component of any submission. In
>addition to conventional conference papers, we welcome the submission of
>papers that focus on implemented systems or software or robotic
>prototypes. These papers require a demonstration of the prototype at the
>conference and should include a detailed project/system description
>specifying hardware/software features and requirements. The conference
>also encourages submissions of proposals for workshops, tutorials,
>posters, and robotic and software demonstrations.
>
>Important Dates
>
>Electronic abstracts due: 16 January
>Electronic paper submission deadline: 21 January
>Notification: 23 March
