Agent computing is an exciting, transformational approach to developing computer systems that can rapidly and reliably solve real-world problems that usually demand human knowledge and expertise. The value, power and flexibility of agent and multi-agent systems has been demonstrated in application areas such as logistics, manufacturing, simulation, robotics, decision support, entertainment, and especially in online market environments. As one of the largest and fastest growing research fields of Computer Science, agent research today includes a wealth of topics. The PRIMA 2012 Program Committee invites submissions of original, unpublished, theoretical and applied work on any such topic, and encourages reports on the development of prototype and deployed agent systems, and of experiments that demonstrate novel agent system capabilities.
Submission. PRIMA 2012 proceedings will be published by Springer as a volume in the LNAI series and proceedings will be available at the conference. Submitted papers should be 12–15 pages in Springer LNCS format and must be in a form suitable for "double-blind" review. Each submission will be subject to peer review in two rounds coordinated by an international Senior Program Committee, and authors will be able to provide a short "rebuttal" of the reviews before final decisions are made. A broad range of agent topics are of interest, but all papers should clearly identify how their scientific or technical contributions advance the state-of-the-art of agent computing practice or have a strong potential to do so Submitted papers should not be under review or submitted for publication elsewhere during the review period.
