Seventh European Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems (EUMAS 2009)
Ayia Napa, Cyprus, 17th--18th December 2009

OVERVIEW

In the last two decades, we have seen a significant increase of interest in agent-oriented
technology. It is crucial that both academics and industrialists within Europe have access
to a forum at which current research and application issues are presented and discussed.
Following in the tradition of past EUMAS (Oxford 2003, Barcelona 2004, Brussels 2005, Lisbon
2006, Hammamet 2007 and Bath 2008), the aim of this Seventh European Workshop on Multi-Agent
Systems is to encourage and support activity in the research and development of multi-agent
systems, in academic and industrial efforts. This workshop is primarily intended as a European
forum at which researchers and those interested in activities relating to research in the area of
autonomous agents and multi-agent systems could meet, present (potentially preliminary)
research results, problems, and issues in an open and informal but academic environment.

IMPORTANT DATES

Abstracts due: 14th September 2009
Full papers due: 18th September 2009
Notification: 30th October 2009
Camera-ready submission: 20th November 2009
EUMAS 2009 workshop: 17th/18th December 2009


SUBMISSIONS

Submission of papers describing relevant preliminary or completed work are invited. EUMAS
2009 also welcomes papers that are under submission, will be presented or have already been
presented at relevant international conferences.

We specially invite submissions by students that we think will receive valuable feedback
from the the discussion-oriented focus of the workshop. Preliminary student work is welcome;
however it has to possess sufficient substance for serving as a discussion basis and therefore
has to pass the review cycle in the same way as other work.

All submissions should be formatted using Springer LNCS style and have a maximum of 15 pages.
We request the submission of title and abstract prior the paper submission for
supporting the tight schedule of reviewing. The authors can submit their abstracts and papers
through the EUMAS 2009 Easychair submission site:

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eumas09

The workshop has no formal proceedings; it is intended primarily as a forum for interaction
and discussion. The workshop will provide electronic (CD) proceedings. Printed proceedings
will be available for an extra fee covering printing costs. Workshop notes will contain all
original papers and abstracts of previously published papers. Depending on the quality, we
intend to invite a selection of extended versions of unpublished submissions to be included
in relevant journal special issues.


LOCATION

The island of Cyprus is well known for the hospitality of its people and its good weather.
The sun shines nearly every day of the year and at the heart of winter temperatures are generally
mild, between 10-20 degrees Celsius. Cyprus has a long and very rich history stemming over more
than 9000 years. Today, history and modern society are comfortably interwined on the island with
world-class resorts within walking distance of well-preserved Greek and Roman archeological sites
and other antiquities.

Agia Napa is situated in the middle of the beautiful southeastern coastline of Cyprus. All beaches
in Agia Napa have been awarded the EU blue flag for their level of cleanliness and facilities
offered. Many visitors enjoy swimming in these beaches even during the wintertime. Ayia Napa has
changed its image somewhat over the years, from a fishing village to a clubbers' paradise and
now has found its place as a multi - cultural town. Cape Greco is a 10 minute drive from the center
of Ayia Napa, and is considered one of the most beautiful places on the island offering site seeing,
cliff jumping and a variety of other activities.

Agia Napa is 30 minutes drive from the island's main international airport at Larnaca. This airport
is well connected with most major cities in Europe via scheduled and chartered flights.
