                Copyright  Form 
                   
                  The IFAAMAS copyright form must be signed and returned with your paper. I caution you that  IFAAMAS will not publish any paper that is not accompanied by a SIGNED  copyright form. For jointly authored papers, only the principal  coauthor needs to sign. IFAAMAS will assume that the signing coauthor  does so with the authorization of the remaining coauthors. 
                   
                  Please fax  a SIGNED copyright form to:

                  Accepted papers must be formatted as described for the initial submission for publication.   
                  Page limits are 8 pages for full papers, and 2 pages limit on extended abstracts. Extended abstracts have to be designated by the subtitle "(Extended Abstracts)" and with a corresponding note in the copyright slug - see also  initial submission page.  
                  We provide updated style files for LaTex  users. Title and author list of the submission appear in the copyright  info and thus must be given in the .tex file: Use this style file for full papers and this for extended abstracts and see this example file and the comments therein for explaining the changes. Users of Word or  other text processing software should use the following style  files/templates also with copyright strip and fill in their title and  author information: word template for full paper, word template for extended abstracts.  Please, also note that we need formatting for American letter paper  size and take care of an appropriate formatting of the bibliography.  Your submission must be without page numbers. 
                   
                  Mandatory Sections 
                   
                  The  mandatory sections of the ACM styles are also mandatory for AAMAS 2009  papers as the papers will be available via the ACM digital library.  According to ACM: "these index terms effect the ease and accuracy of  retrieval within the Digital Library which ultimately benefits authors  by allowing for greater distribution of their work". Thus, although it  may not be trivial to find the appropriate classification information,  you should make an effort filling these sections: Categories  & Subject Descriptors.
