About the journal
The official journal of the International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems.
This is the official journal of the International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. It provides a leading forum for disseminating significant original research results in the foundations, theory, development, analysis, and applications of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. Coverage in Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems includes, but is not limited to:
Agent decision-making architectures and their evaluation, including: cognitive models; knowledge representation; logics for agency; ontological reasoning; planning (single and multi-agent); reasoning (single and multi-agent)
Cooperation and teamwork, including: distributed problem solving; human-robot/agent interaction; multi-user/multi-virtual-agent interaction; coalition formation; coordination
Agent communication languages, including: their semantics, pragmatics, and implementation; agent communication protocols and conversations; agent commitments; speech act theory
Ontologies for agent systems, agents and the semantic web, agents and semantic web services, Grid-based systems, and service-oriented computing
Agent societies and societal issues, including: artificial social systems; environments, organizations and institutions; ethical and legal issues; privacy, safety and security; trust, reliability and reputation
Agent-based system development, including: agent development techniques, tools and environments; agent programming languages; agent specification or validation languages
Agent-based simulation, including: emergent behavior; participatory simulation; simulation techniques, tools and environments; social simulation
Agreement technologies, including: argumentation; collective decision making; judgment aggregation and belief merging; negotiation; norms
Economic paradigms, including: auction and mechanism design; bargaining and negotiation; economically-motivated agents; game theory (cooperative and non-cooperative); social choice and voting
Learning agents, including: computational architectures for learning agents; evolution, adaptation; multi-agent learning.
Robotic agents, including: integrated perception, cognition, and action; cognitive robotics; robot planning (including action and motion planning); multi-robot systems.
Virtual agents, including: agents in games and virtual environments; companion and coaching agents; modeling personality, emotions; multimodal interaction; verbal and non-verbal expressiveness
Significant, novel applications of agent technology
Comprehensive reviews and authoritative tutorials of research and practice in agent systems
Comprehensive and authoritative reviews of books dealing with agents and multi-agent systems.

PRINTOUT SUBMISSION
Authors interested in submitting a short system description to Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, send an e-mail to Katia Sycara: katia@cs.cmu.edu. In your e-mail, include the short system description (no more than 8 pages) along with a message requesting submission. All manuscripts are subject to review.
MANUSCRIPT STYLE
Use an informative title for the paper and include an abstract of 100 to 250 words at the head of the manuscript. The abstract should be a carefully worded description of the problem addressed, the key ideas introduced, and the results. Abstracts will be printed with the article.
Provide from three to five keywords.
Provide a separate list of all footnotes, beginning with "Affiliation of author" and continuing with numbered footnotes. Acknowledgement of financial support may be given if appropriate.
References should appear in a separate bibliography at the end of the paper, double-spaced, with items referred to by numerals and in alphabetical order. References in the text should be denoted by numbers in square brackets, e.g. [12]. References should be complete, in the following style:
Style for papers: Author(s) initials followed by last name for each author, paper title, publication name, volume, inclusive page numbers, month and year.
Style for books: Author(s), title, publisher, location, year, chapter or page numbers (if desired).
Examples as follows:
(Book) D. Marr, Vision, A Computational Investigation into the Human Representation & Processing of Visual Information, Freeman: San Francisco, CA, 1982.
(Journal Article) A. Rosenfeld and M. Thurston, "Edge and curve detection for visual scene analysis," IEEE Trans. Comput. vol. C.-20 pp. 562-569, 1971.
(Conference Proceedings) A. Witkin, "Scales space filtering," in Proc. Int. Joint Conf. Artif. Intell., Karlsruhe, West Germany, 1983, pp. 1019-1021.
(Lab. memo.) A. L. Yuille and T. Poggio, "Scaling theorems for zero crossings," M.I.T. Artif. Intell. Lab., Massachusetts Inst. Technol., Cambridge, MA, A.I. Memo. 722, 1983.
Type mathematical expressions exactly as they should appear in print. Use appropriate typeface. It will be assumed that letters in displayed equations are to be set in italic type unless noted otherwise. All letter symbols in text discussion should be italic or boldface. Indicate best breaks for equations in case they will not fit on one line.
ILLUSTRATION STYLE
Illustrations should be sharp, noise-free, and of good contrast. We regret that we cannot provide drafting or art service.
Each figure should be mentioned in the text and numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals. Specify the desired location of each figure in the text. Each figure must have a caption. Proper style for captions, e.g., "Fig. 3. Examples of the fault coverage of random vectors in (a) combinational and (b) sequential circuits."
Number each table consecutively using Arabic numerals. Please label any material that can be typeset as a table, reserving the term "figure" for material that has been drawn. Specify the desired location of each table in the text. Type a brief title above each table.
All lettering should be large enough to permit legible reduction.
Suggested figure formats: TIFF, GIF, EPS, PPT, and Postscript.
PROOFING
Please be sure to include your e-mail address on your paper. If your paper is accepted, we will be forwarding your page proofs via e-mail. Your cooperation is appreciated. The proofread copy should be received back by the Publisher within 72 hours.
