Submission Guidelines

We encourage submissions regarding ongoing or recent work related to the aformentioned topics. Papers that have appeared on arXiv, but haven't been accepted for publication, are encouraged. Papers will be evaluated based on their relation to the themes of the workshop, quality, originality, and correctness. All submissions will be subject to a double-blind review process.

Additionally, a select number of submissions will be invited to give a short oral presentation. Two accepted papers will be nominated to appear in Springer special issues, consisting of best workshop papers from AAMAS 2022 and visionary papers repsectively. We will not publish anything without the author's permission, and the author will be notified prior to the nomination.

Camera-ready Formatting Instructions

To address feedback from reviewers, authors are permitted to include one page of additional content in the main body. Inclusion of appendices in the camera-ready submission is optional. However, if appendices are not included in your submission, please provide a reference to the full version of your paper (hosted on a paper repository such as arxiv) in the main body of your camera-ready paper.

Please adhere to the following instructions when submitting:

  • Deanonymize your submission by replacing the \documentclass[sigconf,anonymous]{aamas} command with the \documentclass[sigconf]{aamas} command.
  • Every final submission must include an abstract section and keywords (separated by semicolon).
  • Make sure there are no headers or footers (so do not remove the command \fancyhead{}).
  • Every final submission must include an abstract section and keywords (separated by semicolon).
  • Replace the copyright block in the AAMAS template with the following: 
    	\setcopyright{none}
	\acmConference[LSA'22]{Appears at the 1st Workshop on Learning with Strategic Agents (LSA 2022). Held as part of the Workshops at the 21st
