The 1st International Workshop on Frontiers of Multi-Agent Systems (FMAS2020)
About this workshop
Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) has been studied very widely. The high quality conferences like AAMAS and PRIMA have been successful for more than 20 years. Even this long history, there are a lot of new directions on MAS researches. These new directions are usually attractive and promising but sometime it is difficult to be evaluated precisely since the frontier researchers tend to be thinking differently and the research topic is not grown enough. Thus, it is very important to share opportunity to share and exchange these new ideas among the frontier researchers who will make the next generation of MAS research communities. This workshop brings frontier researchers together and discuss the next generation MAS research topics.

Important Dates
- Submission deadline: Nov 1st, 2020 (23:59 UTC-12) (extended)
- Notification: Nov 4th, 2020 (23:59 UTC-12)
- Camera ready submission: Nov 6, 2020

Paper Submission
Paper format is exactly same as the PRIMA2020 main conference.
The papers can be submitted to one of the following categories:
- Regular papers: these papers can be up to 16 pages in length, including references, in the Springer LNCS format. Note that some regular papers may be accepted as short papers.
- Short papers: these papers can be up to 8 pages in length, including references, in the Springer LNCS format. These 'early-innovation' papers will be reviewed with an emphasis on novelty/originality of the idea.

Review Process
FMAS2020 is single-blinded reivew. All submitted papers are going to be reviewed by at least two experts in this field.
Important note for authors who were rejected for PRIMA2020:
FMAS2020 will be jointly held in the PRIMA2020 conference. The papers which have been rejected by PRIMA2020 are very welcome for the workshop submission. Since these papers have been already reviewed in PRIMA, the decision process will be quicker. Please specify your paper ID in PRIMA2020 at the above submission.
