[DMANET] LAMAS & SR 2022 - 1st Call for Contributions

[Apologies for multiple cross-posting]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1st Call for Contributions

2nd International Workshop on
Logical Aspects in Multi-Agent Systems and Strategic Reasoning (LAMAS&SR)
2022
25-26 August 2022, Rennes, France
URL: https://lamassr.github.io/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Objectives
----------

Logics and strategic reasoning play a central role in multi-agent systems.
Logics can be used, for instance, to express the agents' abilities,
knowledge,
and objectives. Strategic reasoning refers to algorithmic methods that
allow for
developing good behaviour for the agents of the system. At the
intersection, we
find logics that can express existence of strategies or equilibria, and can
be
used to reason about them.

The LAMAS&SR workshop merges two international workshops: LAMAS (Logical
Aspects
of Multi-Agent Systems), which focuses on all kinds of logical aspects of
multi-agent systems from the perspectives of artificial intelligence,
computer
science, and game theory, and SR (Strategic Reasoning), devoted to all
aspects
of strategic reasoning in formal methods and artificial intelligence.

List of Topics
--------------

The topics covered by the workshop include, but are not limited to:

* Logical systems for specification, analysis, and reasoning about
multi-agent systems
* Logic-based modelling of multi-agent systems
* Dynamical multi-agent systems
* Deductive systems and decision procedures for logics for multi-agent
systems
* Development and implementation of methods for verification in multi-agent
systems
* Logic-based tools for multi-agent systems
* Logics for reasoning about strategic abilities
* Logics for multi-agent mechanism design, verification, and synthesis
* Logical foundations of decision theory for multi-agent systems
* Strategic reasoning in formal verification
* Automata theory for strategy synthesis
* Applications and tools for cooperative and adversarial reasoning
* Robust planning and optimisation in multi-agent systems
* Risk and uncertainty in multi-agent systems
* Quantitative aspects in strategic reasoning

Invited Speakers
----------------

* Rineke Verbrugge, University of Groningen

Co-Located Event
----------------

LAMAS&SR 2022 will be an event co-located with the 14th International
Conference
on Advances In Modal Logic (AiML 2022, 22-25 August).

About COVID-19
--------------

Local organizers are following closely the evolution of the pandemic
situation.
Our preference is for a full in-person event, but we will employ an online
or
hybrid format according to the situation.

Important Dates
---------------

* Paper submission: May 23 (AoE)
* Author notification: June 30 (AoE)
* Camera ready: July 15 (AoE)
* Workshop: August 25-26, 2022

Contribution Submission
-----------------------

Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts of 2 pages, plus 1 page for
references only, in the AAMAS 2022 format. Both published and unpublished
works
are welcome. Submissions are subject to a single-blind review process, thus,
submissions should not be anonymous, must be in PDF format, and will be
handled
via EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lamassr22

Although there will be no formal proceedings, accepted extended abstracts
will
be made available on the workshop website. Extensions of selected original
contributions will be then invited to a special issue of Games, an MDPI
open-access journal, with a special arrangement.
