About the Conference

The aim of the CEEMAS conference series is to provide a biennial forum
for the presentation of multi-agent research and development results.
With its particular geographical orientation towards Central and Eastern
Europe, CEEMAS has become an internationally recognised event with
participants from all over the world. CEEMAS’05 expects papers from every
fundamental research fields of multi agent systems. Papers which focus
on the following three areas are especially welcome: scalability and
reconfigurability of multi agent systems; deployment scenarios exploiting
synergies of multi agent systems and other related technologies like
grid, web services and semantic web; applications of multi agent systems
in design and manufacturing, transport and logistics, space
applications, tourism industry, e-commerce and many other application areas. The
Organising Committee solicits research submissions for the main research
track of the conference, as well as for the accompanying industrial and
posters track. A tutorial program is also an integral part of
CEEMAS’05. For further details visit other sections of this web site.

The conference proceedings including the accepted papers of the main
conference, selected papers from the posters and industrial track, will
be published by Springer Verlag in the LNAI series. Revised and extended
versions of selected papers will be published in a special issue of the
Applied Artificial Intelligence Journal.



Topics of the conference
• agent models and architectures
• reactive and intentional agents
• planning and scheduling in MAS
• conflicts, conflict resolution and negotiation
• coordination, teamwork, coalition formation
• formal methods, logic in MAS

• learning and evolution in MAS
• holons and holarchies
• mobility, migration, accessibility
• agents' representation
• social knowledge and social reasoning
• ant colonies & swarms
• agents in electronic business and virtual organizations
• self-organising systems and emergent organization
• complexity and tractability in agent-based systems
• agent standards, communication, agent management • agent platforms
and interoperability
• knowledge management & ontologies
• agent oriented software engineering, modelling and methodologies
• agent communication, interaction protocols and mechanisms
• meta-reasoning, meta-agency, reflection in MAS
• security, authentication, intrusion detection
• reports on applications and case studies
• relationship to related technologies: middleware, grid, web services
• trust, reputation, and reliability
• scalability and performance issues, robustness
• robot teams, multi robot systems
• artificial social systems
• agent based social simulation

• adjustable autonomy of MAS
Important Dates

Full paper submission:

8 April, 2005

Notification of acceptance:

13 May, 2005

Camera ready papers:

17 June, 2005

Submission

All submissions will be subject to academic peer review by at least two
members of the Program Committee. Selection criteria include accuracy
and originality of ideas, clarity and significance of results, and
quality of presentation. Authors of all submissions are requested to format
their papers according to Springer LNAI guidelines and submit them
electronically as described in the submission section.

Research track submissions

Paper submissions for the main research track of the conference should
be formatted according to Springer LNAI guidelines and must not exceed
10 pages, including graphics and references. Authors are requested to
submit their papers electronically on the conference submission web
page.

Posters track

The conference poster session provides an opportunity to present the
work in progress, enabling to discuss projects with others in the field.
Students are encouraged to submit a poster presentation. The presenters
will be invited to contribute an article as well. Papers should be
formatted according to Springer LNAI guidelines and must not exceed 3
pages, including graphics and references. Authors are requested to submit
their papers electronically on the conference submission web page.

Industrial track

The CEEMAS conference provides the opportunity to submit papers on
genuine applications of agent technology. Papers describing concrete,
practical implementations with industrial links are encouraged opposed to
pure conceptual plans or potential applications. Our goal is to
demonstrate the real life value and commercial reality of multi-agent systems as
well as to foster the communication between academia and industry on
this field. If your paper describes practical experience and real
applications, you should submit it to the industrial track. System
descriptions should be formatted according to Springer LNAI guidelines and must
not exceed 2 pages, including graphics and references. Authors are
requested to submit their papers electronically on the conference submission
web page.

Tutorial proposals

We solicit tutorials in all areas of agent-oriented models,
technologies and methodologies, aimed at either students (basic tutorials) or
researchers (new and hot topics). Tutorial duration is either half-day or
full-day. The tutorial pro­posal should include a brief summary and
outline, specific goals and objectives, expected background of the
audience, a bio­graphical sketch of the presenter(s), as well as a
sample (15 to 25 slides) of the presentation. All tutorial proposals should
be directed to the Tutorials Chair Andrea Omicini
<andrea.omicini@unibo.it>, and should be sent before 21 February, 2005.

The tutorials may be held on the morning of 15 September 2005, or if
there is enough interest, on 14 September 2005.

Submission policies

CEEMAS’05 will not accept any paper, which has already been published
or accepted for publication in a journal or another conference. These
restrictions apply only to journals and conferences, not to workshops and
similar specialized presentations with a limited audience and without
archival proceedings.

For each accepted paper, at least one author is required to attend the
conference to present the paper. Each author can give only one
presentation. Papers without at least one author registering by the early
registration deadline will be automatically excluded from the conference
programme and the proceedings.

Best paper award

The best paper of the conference, to be selected by the Programme
Committee at the conference, will receive the Best Paper Award during the
conference.
