Call for papers

The goal of the AAMAS Demo track is to provide opportunities for participants from academia and industry to present their latest developments in agent-based software and robotic systems. Interactive systems and novel applications are particularly welcome. Student researchers are encouraged to submit. A "Best Demo" will be selected and awarded by the Demos Program Committee.

Demonstrations of interest include:

1. Systems implementing agents in real-world settings in various application areas such as engineering (e.g., transportation, robotics, grid), economy (e.g., e-commerce), health care, military.
2. Systems supporting the development of agents which include development environments and tools to assist developers in the specification, design, implementation and/or testing of agent systems.
3. Systems using agents to model behavior which include virtual agents, simulation systems and games.

Submissions should be made through the Demo track submission system.

Accepted Demos papers will be included in the AAMAS proceedings. Videos of accepted demo papers will be played during breaks and the demo sessions in order to provide maximum visibility to the products.

At least one author of each accepted demonstration is required to register and attend the conference to give a live demonstration.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Submissions accepted for the Demo track will be advertised on the AAMAS website and in the conference proceedings. Each Demo submission must consist of a short paper, a video and, for student projects, a supervisor endorsement note. Detailed submission requirements are available here.

SELECTION PROCESS

The submission and selection processes for the AAMAS 2017 Demos will be separate from that of the main conference. Each submission will be assessed by the Demos Program Committee. The authors will receive a brief evaluation report with the notification. The evaluation criteria are:

• Relevance to the AAMAS conference
• Significance and originality
• Live demo presentation and technical quality
• Video content and presentation
• Maturity and readiness for demonstration
• Potential for public interaction
• Potential impact in the intended application domain
• Potential interest to a broader audience
