AAMAS is the leading scientific conference for research in autonomous agents and multiagent systems.

AAMAS 2019, the eighteenth conference in the AAMAS series, solicits papers addressing original research on autonomous agents and their interaction. In addition to the main track, there will be six special tracks: Robotics, Socially Interactive Agents, Engineering Multiagent Systems, Blue-Sky Ideas, JAAMAS, and Industrial Applications.

AAMAS 2019 encourages the submission of analytical, empirical, methodological, technological, and perspective papers. Analytical and empirical papers should make clear the significance and relevance of their results to the AAMAS community. Similarly, methodological and technological papers should make clear their scientific and technical contributions, and are expected to demonstrate a thorough evaluation of their strengths and weaknesses in practice. It is strongly encouraged that papers focusing on specific agent capabilities evaluate their techniques in the context of autonomous agent architectures or multiagent systems. A thorough evaluation, conducted from a theoretical or applied basis, is considered an essential component of any submission. Authors are also requested to pay particular attention to discussing how their work relates to the state of the art in autonomous agents and multiagent systems research as evidenced in, for example, previous AAMAS and related conferences and journals. All submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed and evaluated on the basis of the overall quality of their technical contribution, including criteria such as originality, soundness, relevance, significance, quality of presentation, and understanding of the state of the art.

AAMAS 2019 seeks the submission of high-quality papers limited to 8 pages in length, with any additional pages containing only bibliographic references. Reviews will be double blind; authors must avoid including anything that can be used to identify them. Please note that submitting an abstract is required before submitting a full paper. However, the abstracts will not be reviewed, and full papers must be submitted for the review process to begin. All work must be original, i.e., it must not have appeared in a conference proceedings, book, or journal and may not be under review for another archival conference. The review process for the special tracks will be similar to the main track, but with program committee members specially selected for each track. All accepted papers (for the main and for the special tracks) will be included in the proceedings, which will be available on the open site http://www.ifaamas.org/proceedings.html as well as in the ACM Digital Library. At least one of the authors of each paper is required to register (by the early registration deadline), attend, and present the paper at the conference.
