We invite you to submit your best work in the area of agents and multiagent systems to AAMAS-2022, the 21st International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, to be held in Auckland in May 2022.

 We are planning for the conference to be held physically in Auckland in 2022. However, the public health situation might make it infeasible, in which case the conference would transition either to a virtual or hybrid setting. We expect to make the final decision by the end of 2021 (however, as with all things related to recent events, there is a degree of uncertainty here).

All submissions will be rigorously peer-reviewed and evaluated on the basis of the overall quality of their technical contribution, taking into account criteria such as originality, significance, soundness, reproducibility, clarity, relevance to the conference, quality of presentation, as well as understanding and appropriate referencing of the state of the art.

Areas of Interest

We welcome the submission of technical papers describing significant and original research on all aspects of the theory and practice of autonomous agents and multiagent systems. If you are new to this community, then we encourage you to consult the proceedings of previous editions of the conference to fully appreciate the scope of AAMAS. At the time of submission, you will be asked to associate your paper with one of the following 10 areas of interest:

    Coordination, Organisations, Institutions, and Norms
    Markets, Auctions, and Non-Cooperative Game Theory
    Social Choice and Cooperative Game Theory
    Knowledge Representation, Reasoning, and Planning
    Learning and Adaptation
    Modelling and Simulation of Societies
    Humans and AI / Human-Agent Interaction
    Engineering Multiagent Systems
    Robotics
    Innovative Applications

The reviewing process for each of these areas will be coordinated by dedicated area chairs familiar with the particularities of the area they are responsible for. We reserve the right to transfer a paper to a different area in case we believe that doing so will improve the quality of the reviewing process. You will have the opportunity to react to preliminary versions of the reviews of your paper (so-called ‘rebuttal’) before we take a final decision regarding the acceptance of your paper.
