The
industry track invites developers, practitioners,
and industrial researchers to submit high quality
papers on agent technology and its applications.
formatting instructions for submissions
Submitted papers should be formatted in the two column
style of IEEE conference proceedings. An Author Guide
(simple-layout.txt, simple-layout.pdf),
and Latex macros (simple-layout.zip) are
provided as guidance.
If
the paper describes an implemented prototype and a
demonstration will be provided to the conference if
the paper is accepted, authors should specify this
in a footnote on the opening page ("A demonstration
of this system will be available to be shown at the
conference"), so that the paper can be appropriately
considered.
Papers must be no longer than 8 pages, including figures
and references, when formatted using the specified
style. Overlength papers will be rejected. Notification
of receipt of the electronic paper will be mailed
to the first author (or designated author) soon after
receipt. If there are problems with the electronic
submission, AAMAS-05 will contact
the primary author by email.
camera ready format for accepted papers
Please note that the conference is still in negotiations
with several publishers with respect to printing of
the final proceedings, and we cannot guarantee that
the IEEE format used for submission will be used for
final camera ready copy. However, we will endeavour
to ensure that the final format will give at least
as much space for authors as the IEEE format used
in submissions.
instructions for submitting a paper
Only web submissions will be accepted. No email or
fax submissions will be accepted.
IMPORTANT
NOTES:
Note
that the electronic submission site is likely to be
very busy around the paper submission deadline. You
are strongly urged to submit your paper as far in
advance of the deadline as possible.
first
step: electronic abstract submission
Authors are required to register on the AAMAS-05 paper
submission software at http://www.aamas-conference.org/aamas05/
(by clicking on the option "register
as new author" on the left column). A
login and password will be sent to the author in a
subsequent email message. Using this login and password
authors should login into the Industry Track Submission
site to fill in the electronic abstract form containing
an abstract of less than 200 words, the title, authors
and keywords of the papers.
second
step: paper submission
After (or at the same time) the electronic abstract
submission is made, authors are required to submit
their electronic papers. To do so, log into the system
again using the login and password given at the first
step. The only formats allowed for electronic submission
are PostScript or PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format).
Papers will not be accepted in any other format (e.g.,
MS Word) because of compatibility problems between
software versions, machines, and nationalities. However,
we strongly encourage the submission in PDF format.
We cannot accept title pages or papers submitted by
e-mail or FAX. Electronic paper submissions must arrive
no later than
February 28, 2005,
midnight -Hawaii time-
(March 1, 2005, 10:00
am. GMT)
Submissions
received after this date will not be considered for
review.
You can upload your paper at any time, and you can
re-upload your paper any time before the submission
deadline. To do this, login to the Industry Track
Submission site and click, in the right hand column,
on "view own papers". A list of papers you have registered
will appear. On the EXTREME RIGHT HAND side of the
web page (you may need to scroll the window to the
right to see it), there are two "floppy disk" icons.
The left one (with an up arrow) is to upload (or re-upload
a new version) of your paper. The right one (with
a down arrow) is to download the latest version held
by the Industry Track Submission site.
policy on multiple submissions
The
Industry Track will not accept any paper
which, at the time of submission, is under review
for or has already been published or accepted for
publication in a journal or another conference. Authors
are also expected not to submit their papers elsewhere
during the AAMAS review period. These
restrictions apply only to journals and conferences,
not to workshops and similar specialized presentations
with a limited audience and no formal proceedings.
