===
The Blue Sky Ideas special track is intended to present and provoke
visionary ideas, long-term challenges, new research opportunities, and
debate. It serves as an incubator for innovative, risky, and provocative
research directions, and aims to provide a forum for publishing and
presenting these without being constrained by the result-oriented standards
followed in the review process of the main track of the conference.
Research visions and ideas can cross disciplines, envisioning new
directions relevant for Agents and advancing Multi-Agent Systems research
through interdisciplinary viewpoints.
We encourage papers to reflect on the future of the research area and its
community within the broader AI and computing landscape. We invite
submissions that focus on novel, overlooked, or under-represented
application areas to which agent research may contribute; potential paths
for agent research to contribute to the state of the art in other AI and
computing areas and the other way around; unexplored theoretical grounds
for agent research. Overall, we aim at papers that help guide the agent
community to achieve in the coming years a leading position within AI and
computing research.

Evaluation Criteria
===
Reviewers will assess papers based on the following criteria:
-
Are the ideas presented of interest to members of the Agents and MAS
research communities?
-
Do the ideas push forward the envelope of Agents/MAS application into
the future?
-
How much are the ideas visionary (vs. state of the art), novel, or out
of the box?
-
Are the ideas motivated and grounded in a solid understanding of the
existing state-of-the-art and older foundational research/theory?
-
Do the ideas consider relatively new research ideas (e.g. published in
the last 3 years)?
-
How deep and wide is the envisioned impact of the ideas on the research
agenda in the Agents and MAS communities?
-
How deep and wide is the envisioned impact on the intended beneficiaries
of the ideas presented, including practical considerations?
-
Are the ideas presented in a clear and rigorous way?
-
How strong is the level of critical reflection applied in the
exploration of these ideas?
