CALL FOR PAPERS
The 10-th International Workshop on Optimization in Multi-Agent Systems (OptMAS 2019)
A full-day workshop at AAMAS 2019.
Workshop date: May 13 or 14, 2019

Workshop description
The goal of the workshop is to provide researchers with a venue to explore how to model and solve a variety of multi-agent optimization problems.
We seek contributions in the general area of multi-agent optimization, including distributed constraint optimization, coalition formation, optimization under uncertainty, winner determination algorithms in auctions, and algorithms to compute Nash and other equilibria in games.

Topics of Interest

  *   Winner determination algorithms in auctions
  *   Coalition formation algorithms
  *   Scheduling and task allocation problems
  *   Algorithms for solving distributed constraint reasoning problems
  *   Unified frameworks for distributed constraint reasoning
  *   Handling privacy issues in multi-agent systems
  *   Algorithms to compute solutions to games (cooperative or non-cooperative)
  *   Multi-agent optimization under uncertainty
  *   Multi-agent optimization with incomplete or dynamic input data
  *   Algorithms for real-time applications
  *   GPU for general purpose computations (GPGPU)
  *   Multi-core and many-core computing
  *   Cloud, distributed and grid computing
  *   Online optimization problems in multi-agent systems
