OVERVIEW

Research on multi-agent systems has shed light onto and provided solutions to many real-life 
problems. As the field matures, academics and industrialists benefit from European-based forums 
where state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice are presented and discussed. The EUMAS series 
of events have served this purpose and in this 10th edition we shall carry on in this tradition. 
The EUMAS series of workshops is primarily intended as a European forum at which researchers, and 
those interested in activities relating to research, in the area of autonomous agents and multi-
agent systems can meet, present (potentially preliminary) research results, problems, and issues 
in an open and informal but academic environment.


SUBMISSIONS

Submission of papers describing relevant preliminary or completed work are invited.  EUMAS welcomes
papers that are original, or are under submission, will be presented or have already been presented
at relevant international conferences.  The workshop is intended as a forum for interaction and 
discussion, and we especially invite submissions by students, who can receive valuable feedback 
from this discussion-oriented focus. Preliminary student work is welcome, as long as it possesses 
sufficient substance for serving as a basis for discussion.

All submissions should be formatted using Springer's LNCS style and have a maximum of 15 pages. We 
request the submission of title and abstract prior to the paper submission, to help meet the tight 
reviewing schedule.  Further submission details on how to submit abstracts and papers will appear 
soon on the page below.

LOCATION

University College Dublin (UCD) (http://www.ucd.ie) is a dynamic, modern university where 
cutting-edge research and scholarship provide a stimulating intellectual environment - the 
ideal surroundings for learning and discovery. It is located approx 8km from Dublin city centre 
and is served well by public bus routes. There are several hotels nearby. The School of Computer 
Science and Informatics (http://www.csi.ucd.ie/) has become established as the leading center for 
Computer Science in Ireland and was ranked 1st in ireland and in the top 30 in Europe in the 2011 
QS World University Rankings. Currently, there are approximately 30 full-time academic staff and 
120 full-time Ph.D. students. The workshop will be hosted internally within the School.
