About the conference ====================
Agents are one of the most prominent and attractive technologies in
computer science at the beginning of the new milennium. The technologies,
methods, and theories of agents and multiagent systems are currently
contributing to many diverse domains such as information retrieval, user
interfaces, electronic commerce, robotics, computer mediated collaboration,
computer games, education and training, ubiquitous computing, and social
simulation. They not only are a very promising technology, but are also
emerging as a new way of thinking, a conceptual paradigm for analyzing problems
and for designing systems, for dealing with complexity, distribution, and
interactivity, while providing a new perspective on computing and intelligence.
The AAMAS conference series was initiated in 2002 as a merger of three highly
successful related events: AGENTS (International Conference on Autonomous Agents),
ICMAS (International Conference on Multi-Agent Systems), and ATAL (International
Workshop on Agent Theories, Architectures, and Languages).
The aim of the joint conference is to provide a single, high-profile, internationally
renowned forum for research in the theory and practice of autonomous agents and
multiagent systems. In particular, it brings together the world's researchers
active in this important, vibrant, and rapidly growing field.
AAMAS 2005 events include workshops and tutorials given by distinguished experts
in the field, as well as an agent school, and doctoral mentoring program.

Submission ==========
AAMAS-05 encourages the submission of theoretical, experimental, methodological, and
applications papers. Theory papers should make clear the significance and relevance of
their results to the AAMAS community. Similarly, applied papers should make clear both
their scientific and technical contributions, and are expected to demonstrate a
thorough evaluation of their strengths and weaknesses in practice. Papers that address
isolated agent capabilities (for example, planning or learning) are discouraged unless
they are placed in the overall context of autonomous agent architectures or multi-agent
system organization and performance. A thorough evaluation is considered an essential
component of any submission. Authors are also requested to make clear the implications
of any theoretical and empirical results, as well as how their work relates to the
state of the art in autonomous agents and multi-agent systems research as evidenced in,
for example, previous AAMAS conferences. All submissions will be rigorously peer
reviewed and evaluated on the basis of the quality of their technical contribution,
originality, soundness, significance, presentation, understanding of the state of the
art, and overall quality.
In addition to conventional conference papers, AAMAS-05 also welcomes the submission
of papers that focus on implemented systems, software, or robot prototypes. These
papers require a demonstration of the prototype at the conference and should include
a detailed project or system description specifying the hardware and software features
and requirements.
