The 11th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems

Abstract

These are the proceedings of AAMAS 2012, held in Valencia, in June 2012. In addition to the general track for the AAMAS 2012 conference, submissions were invited to three special tracks: a robotics track, a virtual agents track and an innovative applications track. The aims of these special tracks were to give researchers from these areas a strong focus, to provide a forum for discussion and debate within the encompassing structure of AAMAS, and to ensure that the impact of both theoretical contributions and innovative applications were recognized. The tracks were chaired by leaders in the corresponding fields: Daniele Nardi for the robotics track, Stefan Kopp for the virtual agents track, and Klaus Fischer and Alex Rogers for the innovative applications track. The special track chairs provided critical input to selection of Program Committee (PC) and Senior Program Committee (SPC) members, and to the reviewer allocation and the review process itself. The final decisions concerning acceptance of papers were taken by the AAMAS 2012 Program Co-chairs in discussion with the special track chairs.
