CFP: Logical Aspects of Multi-Agent Systems

There is a growing interdisciplinary community of researchers and
research groups working on logical aspects of MAS from the perspectives
of logic, artificial intelligence, computer science, game theory, etc.
The LAMAS workshop serves the community as a platform for presentation,
exchange, and publication of ideas.

The workshop is intended to cover the following subjects:

- Logical systems for specification, analysis, and reasoning about MAS
- Modeling MAS with logic-based models
- Logic in game theory
- Logic in social choice theory
- Deductive systems and decision procedures for logics for MAS
- Development, complexity analysis, and implementation of algorithmic
  methods for formal verification of MAS
- Logic-based tools for MAS
- Applications of logics in MAS

=================================

SUBMISSION
=================================
Authors are invited to submit papers in the following three categories:

- Regular papers up to 15 pages, describing original unpublished
  research. Position papers and visionary work in progress can also be
  submitted in this category. Simultaneous submission to another venue
  is not allowed.

- System descriptions of up to 12 pages, describing new systems or
  significant upgrades of existing ones.

- Extended abstracts of 2-5 pages reporting interesting and relevant
  work that has been published (or accepted for publication) in the last
  12 months.

Submissions should be anonymous, subject to double-blind reviewing
procedure. Each submission will be reviewed by at least 2 PC members.

Papers must be in PDF format and prepared according to the Springer LNCS
format. For templates and instructions for authors, see
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

=================================
PROCEEDINGS AND POST-PROCEEDINGS
=================================
Workshop notes including all accepted papers will be distributed to AAMAS-2014
registrants in electronic form. Printed workshop notes will not be made available
to workshop participants.

Workshop post-proceedings are planned as a journal special issue
of STUDIA LOGICA. The submissions to that special issue will be subject
to another reviewing and selection process.

=================================

TUTORIAL SESSION
=================================
According to the rules of AAMAS workshops, the workshop will include a one
hour tutorial session covering the following topics:

(i)   logic-based modeling of MAS,
(ii)  deduction and meta-logical properties and techniques
          (satisfiability,  bounded  model property, etc.), and
(iii) applications of logics in MAS (e.g. Verification).
