**** Call for Papers *****
AAMAS 2013
Saint Paul, Minnesota, US
6-10 May, 2013
http://aamas2013.cs.umn.edu
AAMAS is the largest and most influential conference in the area of agents
and multiagent systems, the aim of the conference is to bring together researchers
and practitioners in all areas of agent technology and to provide a single, high-profile,
nternationally renowned forum for research in the theory and practice of autonomous
agents and multiagent systems. AAMAS is the flagship conference of the non-profit
International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (IFAAMAS).
AAMAS 2013 seeks high-quality submissions of full papers, limited to 8 pages in
length. Submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed and evaluated on the
basis of originality, soundness, significance, presentation, understanding of the
state of the art, and overall quality of their technical contribution. In addition to
submissions in the main track, AAMAS 2013 is soliciting papers in three special
tracks including one on Virtual Agents. The review process for the special tracks will be
similar to the main track, but with program committee members specially selected for
that track. All accepted papers for the special tracks will be included in the proceedings.
------ Special Track "Virtual Agents" -----------
The Virtual Agents track gathers papers on research topics related to the design,
implementation, evaluation and application of virtual agents. Such agents are simulated
in 3D computer graphics and emulate autonomous human-like behavior in social interaction
or simulated task-based environments. Applications of this technology range from social
assistants on mobile devices, to pedagogical agents in tutoring systems, to non-player
characters in interactive games or multimodal interface agents for smart appliances and
environments. The goal of the virtual agents track is to provide an opportunity for continued
interaction and cross-fertilization between the AAMAS community and researchers working
on virtual agents and to strengthen links between the two communities.
We welcome papers that present novel work and contributions on virtual agent systems,
human(s)-agent(s) interaction, and evaluations or applications of such systems. Submissions
can address innovative and challenging issues in fundamental issues such as behavioral or
cognitive models for autonomous virtual agents, as well as new usage and applications.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Models for reasoning and deliberation in virtual agents
• Architectures for autonomous interactive agents
• Cognitive models
• Learning and adaptation in virtual agents
• Perception and generation of social, communicative behavior
• Verbal and nonverbal communicative expression
• Embodied conversational agents
• Socio-culturally aware agents
• Affect and emotions in virtual agents
• Models of personality and agency
• Multimodal human-agent interaction
• Personalization and user modeling for virtual agents
• Interpersonal coordination
• Empirical studies on/with virtual agents
• Computational models of interactive narrative
• Pedagogical, coaching agents
• Companion, assistive agents
• Virtual character modeling and animation
• Applications in games, education, training, or virtual environments
