Call for Workshops
AAMAS 2025 invites proposals for the workshop program, which will be held
on May 19–20, 2025, immediately before the main program of the AAMAS
conference.
The objectives of the AAMAS 2025 workshop program are to stimulate and
facilitate discussion, interaction, and comparison of approaches, methods,
and ideas related to specific topics, both theoretical and applied, in the
general area of Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems. The AAMAS 2025
workshops will provide an informal setting where participants will have the
opportunity to discuss specific technical topics, fostering the active
exchange of ideas and supporting community development.
We invite the submission of workshop proposals for review. We encourage
workshops that focus on emerging topics, open research questions and
challenges, as well as broader subjects of interest to a wider community.
Additionally, we welcome workshops with previous editions at AAMAS that can
attract established communities working in the same research area.
Workshops may vary in length from half a day to two days, though most are
expected to last one full day. Attendance will be limited to registered
participants, and both organizers and attendees must register for their
workshop, which will have a separate fee from the main conference. Workshop
attendees are not required to register for the main AAMAS conference if
they do not plan to attend it, though this is highly encouraged.
AAMAS 2025 will be an in-person event in Detroit, United States. AAMAS 2025
reserves the right to cancel workshops if attendance does not cover their
operating costs.

must include the following information:
1.
Title and acronym of the workshop.
2.
A brief technical description of the workshop, specifying the workshop's
goals, the technical issues that it will address, the relevance of the
workshop to the main conference, and a brief discussion of why and to whom
the workshop is of interest.
3.
A preliminary workshop format and a proposed schedule for organizing the
workshop, including the desired length. Please include a brief description
of how the organizers plan to encourage an atmosphere appropriate for a

contributed talks (e.g., invited talks, panels, or posters).
4.
A list of related workshops held in the last three years, if any, and
their relation to the proposed workshop. Please include the following
information, when available: when and where they have been offered in the
past (i.e., at AAMAS or another conference), organizers' names and
affiliations, number of submitted/accepted papers, approximate attendance,
and follow-up publications (e.g., journal special issues). For workshops
with previous editions (even if they had different titles or were not held
at AAMAS), please include a list of URLs for the websites of those editions.
5.
Description of the paper review process and acceptance standards.
6.
The proposed workshop organizers' names, affiliations, URLs, and email
addresses. This committee must consist of two to four people knowledgeable

include individuals from multiple institutions across different regions. By
submitting the workshop proposal, the organizers commit to fulfilling their
responsibilities, outlined below in the "Responsibilities" section.

display).
11.
If available, a list of tentatively confirmed attendees.
In addition to the above items, please include a brief resume (maximum half
a page) for each organizing committee member. Resumes will not count toward
the proposal's page limit. Please focus on each committee member's
qualifications that are relevant to organizing an AAMAS workshop. Include a
list of key publications demonstrating expertise in the field and a list of
any workshops they have previously organized, if any. Please note that
strong proposals should include organizers who offer diverse perspectives
on the workshop topic and are actively engaged with the communities of
potential participants.
Selection Criteria
Workshop selection for the final program will be based on several factors,
including the scientific and technical relevance of the topics to the AAMAS
community, the clarity of the proposal, the innovative character of the
workshop topics, its cross-disciplinary nature, the organizers' ability to
lead a successful workshop, and the overall capacity of the conference
workshop program. Please note that AAMAS may ask proposers with similar or
overlapping content areas to merge their workshops.

For all accepted proposals, AAMAS will be responsible for:
-
Providing publicity for the workshop series as a whole.
-
Providing logistic support and a meeting place for the workshop.

participation (by the recommended deadlines) .

2025. Both workshop organizers and participants must register for the

one author must register for the workshop for their paper to be included in
the workshop proceedings. AAMAS reserves the right to cancel any workshop

Workshop proposals must be submitted via OpenReview using the following
link:
