Contact emails: hchan3@unl.edu; jiaoyangli@cmu.edu; filippo.bistaffa@gmail.com
Description: Stimulated by various emerging applications involving agents to solve complex problems in real-world domains, such as intelligent sensing systems for the Internet of the Things (IoT), automated configurators for critical infrastructure networks, and intelligent resource allocation for social domains (e.g., security games for the deployment of security resources or auctions/procurements for allocating goods and services), agents in these domains commonly leverage different forms optimization and/or learning to solve complex problems. The goal of the workshop is to provide researchers with a venue to discuss models or techniques for tackling a variety of multi-agent optimization problems. We seek contributions in the general area of multi-agent optimization, including distributed optimization, coalition formation, optimization under uncertainty, winner determination algorithms in auctions and procurements, and algorithms to compute Nash and other equilibria in games. Of particular emphasis are contributions at the intersection of optimization and learning.

4. 12th International Workshop on Engineering Multi-Agent Systems (EMAS 2024)
Date: Mon 6 and Tue 7 May
Time: 8:30-12:30, 14:00-18:00
Room: Jade Room 2
Contact email: rafael.cardoso@abdn.ac.uk
Description: A key unifying theme underlying Artificial Intelligence is the idea of intelligent software agents able to reason, act, interact, and learn. Despite the substantial body of knowledge and expertise developed in the design and development of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), the systematic development of large-scale and open MAS still poses many challenges. EMAS 2024 will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners in the domains of agent-oriented software engineering, programming multi-agent systems, declarative agent languages and technologies, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to present and discuss their research and emerging results in engineering MAS.

6. International Workshop on Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems for Space Applications (MASSpace)
Date: Tue 7 May
Time: 8:30-12:30, 14:00-18:00
Room: Gallery 1
Contact email: gauthier.picard@onera.fr
Description: This workshop aims at disseminating and sharing recent advances in the use of agent-based and multi-agent-based models and techniques in the Space domain. Indeed, the use of agent-based and multi-agent systems (MAS) in aerospace and space is gaining traction, as they offer a promising approach for modeling and solving distributed, complex and dynamic problems. Sample applications notably include multiple spacecraft operations and maintenance, onboard-ground coordination, mission simulation, multi-mission operation, autonomous navigation, and collective robotics. AAMAS-related areas such as Engineering Multiagent Systems, Knowledge Representation, Reasoning, and Planning, Markets, Auctions, and Non-Cooperative Game Theory or Modelling and Simulation of Societies, develop relevant models and techniques to address such Space-related applications.

7. Reinforcement Learning in Games (RLG)
Date: Mon 6 and Tue 7 May
Time: 8:30-12:30, 14:00-18:00
Room: Great Room 1
Contact emails: milecdav@fel.cvut.cz; chunkail@cs.cmu.edu; viliam.lisy@fel.cvut.cz
Description: Games provide an ideal testing ground for AI’s interaction with diverse agents and conflicting goals. Over time, approaches shifted from domain-specific expertise to universal strategies like self-play reinforcement learning. Advances in technologies like deep reinforcement learning have led to successes in games such as Go and chess. While these achievements are notable, there is much more to explore in understanding algorithms for dynamic environments. A workshop on reinforcement learning in games can facilitate cross-disciplinary collaboration between machine learning and game theory, fostering innovative ideas and research opportunities.

8. The 25th International Workshop on Multi-Agent-Based Simulation (MABS 2024)
Date: Mon 6 May
Time: 8:30-12:30, 14:00-18:00
Room: Jade Room 1
Contact emails: jason.thompson@unimelb.edu.au,ivana.stankov@unisa.edu.au,rajith.v@unimelb.edu.au
Description: MABS 2024 continues its tradition since AAMAS was first held in Bologna in 2002 of fostering cross-fertilisation and innovation in MAS engineering and complex social and sociotechnical systems modelling. The workshop encourages submissions in areas such as simulation methodology and tools, simulation of social and intelligent behaviour, diverse applications, and simulation analytics. This year’s focus will be on ‘Modelling and Simulation of Societies’, which aligns closely with one of the 10 themes of the main AAMAS conference. For the MABS workshop, we encourage submission of work that is in a less finished state than we would expect to see at the main conference and particularly encourage the submission of work that has open questions which would be worthy of discussion at the workshop.

9. The 2nd International Workshop on Citizen-Centric Multiagent Systems (C-MAS 2024)
Date: Tue 7 May
Time: 8:30-12:30, 14:00-18:00
Room: Crystal Room 2
Contact emails: cmas2024@easychair.org; behrad.koohy@soton.ac.uk; ss2@ecs.soton.ac.uk; v.yazdanpanah@soton.ac.uk
Description: Join us for the C-MAS 2024 workshop, where we will delve into the realm of citizen-centric multiagent systems. In today’s world, large-scale AI systems hold the potential to tackle critical societal challenges, from decarbonising our energy system to facilitating on-demand mobility and improving disaster response. However, we often overlook the active role of citizen end users, treating them merely as data providers and service consumers. Our workshop aims to shift this perspective and explore innovative approaches that treat citizen end users as primary agents with diverse needs and preferences. By doing so, we can develop more trustworthy, fair, and widely accepted sociotechnical solutions to pressing societal challenges.

Time: 8:30-12:30, 14:00-18:00
Room: Jade Room 2
Contact emails: davide.calvaresi@hevs.ch, amro.najjar@list.lu
Description: The International Workshop on EXplainable and TRAnsparent AI and Multi-Agent Systems (EXTRAAMAS) runs since 2019, and is a well-established workshop and forum.

In its 6th edition, EXTRAAMAS 2024 identifies four particular focus topics with the ultimate goal of strengthening cutting-edge foundational and applied research. EXTRAAMAS relies on XAI Fundamentals, XAI in Action, and Cross-disciplinary Perspectives: XAI and Law, Dialogs, GenAI and prompting, etc. EXTRAAMAS is composed of 4 tracks: (i) XAI in symbolic and subsymbolic AI, (ii) XAI in negotiation and conflict resolution (iii) Prompts, Interactive Explainability and Dialogue, and (iv) (X)AI in Law and Ethics.

13. Workshop on Social Choice and Learning Algorithms (SCaLA)
Date: Tue 7 May
Time: 8:30-12:30, 14:00-18:00
Room: Great Room 3
Contact emails: ben.armstrong@uwaterloo.ca; royfa@post.bgu.ac.il
Description: Motivated by growing interest in the similarities between problems in learning and social choice, SCaLA-24 aims to bring together researchers across these domains to highlight the benefits of collaboration. Recent work has explored theoretical bounds on the learnability of common voting rules alongside experimental evaluation of these bounds, has shown how neural networks can improve properties of voting rules or learn mechanism design, and has raised many questions. The goal of this workshop is to highlight new connections between social choice and learning algorithms. We seek contributions that demonstrate how either one of these fields can be used to strengthen the other and, more broadly, that combine aspects of the two domains in novel ways. We are interested in a broad range of topics from both desciplines.

14. Rebellious and Disobedient Agents in Artificial Intelligence (RaD-AI)
Date: Tue 7 May
Time: 8:30-12:30, 14:00-18:00
Room: Vista 1
Contact email: gordon.briggs@nrl.navy.mil
Description: The RaD-AI workshop aims to challenge the assumption that a collaborative agent is one that always complies with instructions it is given. As intelligent autonomous systems are increasingly deployed in various contexts, it is inevitable that upholding ethical principles or the ultimate intent of human stakeholders may necessitate non-compliance with some instances of direct human instruction. We seek to foster broad discussion on this topic (from novel computational algorithms that enable intelligent disobedience to considerations of human factors and societal impacts) and seek perspectives from a variety of disciplines.
