KES AMSTA-25: Call for Papers

Conference Scope

Papers are invited for the 19th International KES Conference on Agents and Multi-Agent Systems - Technologies and Applications (KES AMSTA-25), focusing on research in the field of agent and multi-agent systems. The conference aims to provide a platform for researchers to discuss modern approaches and techniques for agent and multi-agent systems and their applications, as well as intelligent systems in the field of social networks, self-organisation, and trust.

All contributions must be of high quality, original, and should not have been published elsewhere or be intended for publication elsewhere during the review period or time of the conference.

Proceedings

The Full Papers conference proceedings will be published by Springer as book chapters in a volume of the KES Smart Innovation Systems and Technologies series, submitted for indexing in Scopus and Thomson-Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI) and the Web of Science. (The Short Papers and Abstracts conference proceedings will be published online and will not appear in the Springer volume).
