CALL FOR PAPERS
DOCTORAL TRACK
at
4^th International KES Symposium on
AGENTS AND MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS - TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS
(KES-AMSTA-10)
Gdynia, Poland
23-25 June 2010

1. INTRODUCTION

An integral part of the KES-AMSTA-10 will be the Doctoral Track organized with the aim to publish students' research in the filed of agents and multi-agents systems. The session will offer students the opportunity to discuss and to exchange the experience both the work in progress and almost finished dissertations. Best student paper of the KES-AMSTA-10 Doctoral Track will be selected and awarded.

2. INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS

All authors of the proposal must be PH.D. students or their advisors. The papers will be reviewed by KES-AMSTA-10 International Program Committee. The best submissions will be selected for presentation at the KES-AMSTA-10 and will be included in the symposium proceedings. The papers should present original and unpublished research. The symposium proceedings are planned to be published and distributed by Springer-Verlag in series LNCS/LNAI. Submitted papers for Doctoral Track should be prepared in LNCS/LNAI style and should be limited to 10 pages.
