PRIMA 2018 (International Conference on Principles and Practice of Multi-Agent Systems) is an academic conference held in Tokyo, Japan on 2018-10-31. The paper submission deadline is 2018-08-01 (extended). Acceptance notifications are sent on 2018-09-02.
Software systems are becoming more intelligent in the kind of functionality they offer users. At the same time, systems are becoming more decentralized, with components that represent autonomous entities who must communicate among themselves to achieve their goals. Examples of such systems range from healthcare and emergency relief and disaster management to e-business and smarts grids. A multiagent worldview is crucial to properly conceptualizing, building, and governing such systems. It offers abstractions such as intelligent agent, protocol, norm, organization, trust, incentive, and so on, and is rooted in solid computational and software engineering foundations. As a large but still growing research field of Computer Science, multiagent systems today remains a unique enabler of interdisciplinary research.
