CALL FOR DEMOS: AAMAS 2019


Eighteenth International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent 
Systems
13-17 May, 2019, Montreal, Canada


IMPORTANT DATES
Demonstration Submission:  27th of January 2019 (23:59 UTC-12)
Author Notification:   24th of February  2019 (23:59 UTC-12)


INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS
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 and robotic systems. Interactive systems and 
novel applications are particularly welcome.


Two “Best Demo” awards will be assigned by the Program Committee to 
recognize the most innovative demo (the one with the most original and 
significant research methodologies) and the best application demo (the 
one with the highest impact in a real-world application).


TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
- 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, societal challenges and 
education.
- 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.
- Systems using agents to model behavior which include virtual agents, 
agent based simulation systems, games and social robots.


SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Submissions accepted for the Demo track will be advertised on the AAMAS 
website and will be included in the conference proceedings. Each Demo 
submission must consist of the following elements:


Paper (maximum 4 pages):
- Pages 1-2 to describe the system to be demonstrated. The authors are 
encouraged to discuss the application domain, the problem scenario, the 
technology used, the agent/multi-agent techniques involved, the 
innovations of the system, interactive aspects, etc.
- Page 3 should only list the bibliographic references.
- Page 4 to provide the organizers with a list of requirements for the 
demo setting at the conference.
- Papers must be prepared using the AAMAS format and submitted as PDF 
files. Submissions not conforming to the guidelines above will be rejected.


Video (maximum 5 minutes):
- The paper should contain a URL linking to a demonstration video of no 
more than 5 minutes in duration (QuickTime or YouTube format) showing 
and explaining the execution of the system.
- The video should be understandable without sound as much as possible, 
as they can be played during the conference (see below). The video 
should include (at the beginning and at the end) the title of the demo 
and the track number provided by the submission system.


Submissions should be made through the Demo track submission system on 
EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aamasdemos2019. 
Accepted Demo papers will be included in the AAMAS proceedings. Videos 
of accepted demo papers will be played (with no sound) during breaks and 
demo sessions to increase visibility. At least one author of each 
accepted demonstration is required to register and attend the conference 
to present their work.


SELECTION PROCESS
The submission and selection process for the AAMAS 2019 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
- Video content and presentation
- Maturity and readiness of the demonstration
- Potential for public interaction
- Potential impact in the intended application domain
- Potential interest to a broader audience
