CALL FOR PAPERS
The 3st KES International Symposium on
AGENTS AND MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS - TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS (KES-AMSTA-09)
Uppsala, Sweden June 3 - June 5, 2009
1. INTRODUCTION
KES-AMSTA-2009 is an international scientific symposium for research in the field of agent and multi-agent systems. The aim of the symposium is to provide an internationally respected forum for scientific research in the technologies and applications of agent and multi-agent systems.
Agents and multi-agent systems are related to a modern software paradigm which has long been recognized as a promising technology for constructing autonomous, complex and intelligent systems. This symposium will provide and excellent opportunity for researchers to discuss modern approaches and techniques for agent and multi-agent systems and their applications.
KES-AMSTA-2009 is organized by KES International and Uppsala University, Sweden, and will take place in Uppsala.
2. INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS
Papers are invited from prospective authors with interests on the indicated symposium topics and related areas of application. All contributions should be original and not published elsewhere or intended to be published during the review period. Contributions from more applied related fields in industry and commerce are very welcome.
All accepted papers must be presented by one of the authors who must register for the conference and pay the fee. To ensure high quality, all papers will be thoroughly reviewed by the KES-AMSTA-09 International Programme Committee. The symposium proceedings are planned to be published by Springer-Verlag in LNCS/LNAI series (subject to confirmation). Submitted papers should be prepared in LNCS/LNAI style and should not exceed 10 pages. Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in special issues to be included in several journals indexed by ISI, KES Journal and Int. Journal of Intelligent Information and Database Systems. Ph.D. students are invited to submit papers to Doctoral Track. Special sessions are also welcome.
