Call for Papers
Fourth Symposium on
ADAPTIVE AGENTS AND MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS
(AAMAS-4)
March 29th - 30th, 2004
Leeds, UK
http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/~kudenko/aamas4/
(Part of the AISB '04 Convention)
In recent years it became well-accepted, that it is crucial for intelligent
agents to have the ability to learn from and adapt to their environment. This
task is even more complex when the agent is situated in an environment that
contains other agents with potentially different capabilities and goals.
The goal of this symposium is to increase awareness and interest in adaptive and
learning agent research, encourage collaboration between machine learning
experts and agent system experts, and give a representative overview of current
research in the area of adaptive agents. The symposium will serve as an
inclusive forum for the discussion on ongoing or completed work in both
theoretical and practical issues.
The proposed symposium is the fourth in a series of symposia that have taken
place annually since 2001 (see http://www.aamas.net). All accepted papers are
published in Symposia proceedings. The best papers from the first two AAMAS
Symposia have been published in a Springer LNAI book (LNAI 2636), and we plan to
publish a follow-up volume including papers from the third and fourth AAMAS
Symposia.
