CALL FOR PAPERS
The 3nd International Workshop on Agent-based Modeling and Applications with SARL (SARL-19)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In conjunction with the 9th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks, and 
Technologies ANT 2019 and the European SarlCon 2019

April 29 - May 2, 2019, Leuven, Belgium.



Description
===========

Research on Agents and Multi-Agent Systems has matured during the last decade and many
effective applications of this technology are now deployed. SARL-18 provides an
international forum to present and discuss the latest scientific developments and
their effective applications, to assess the impact of the approach, and to facilitate
technology transfer.

SARL workshop borns with the SARL agent programming language, but the scientific results
presented in SARL-19 are not restricted to SARL; other languages and agent platforms may
be presented.

SARL aims at providing the fundamental abstractions for dealing with concurrency,
distribution, interaction, decentralization, reactivity, autonomy and dynamic
reconfiguration. These high-level features are now considered as the major
requirements for an easy and practical implementation of modern complex software
applications. We are convinced that the agent-oriented paradigm holds the keys to
effectively meet this challenge. Considering the variety of existing approaches and
meta-models in the field of agent-oriented engineering and more generally multi-agent
systems, our approach remains as generic as possible and highly extensible to easily
integrate new concepts and features.

The goal of SARL-19 is to provides a place where the different points of view on the
modeling and the simulation with agent platforms and agent programming languages may be
discussed.

SARL-19 will be held in Leuven, Belgium (April 29 - May 2, 2019) in conjunction with the
10th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks, and Technologies (ANT 2019) and
the European SarlCon 2019.

Important Dates
===============

* Submission deadline: December 6, 2018
* Notification: February 4, 2019
* Final date for camera-ready copy: March 1, 2019
* Workshop: April 29 - May 2, 2019


Submission
==========

All workshop accepted papers will be included in the conference proceeding published by
Elsevier Science in the open-access Procedia Computer Science series on-line.

The submitted paper must be formatted according to the guidelines of Procedia Computer
Science, Elsevier. You are invited to submit full length papers in PDF format on
EasyChair, not exceeding 6 pages in length, in single-column format including diagrams
and references, and following the Procedia Computer Science guidelines. Papers that do
not follow these guidelines may be rejected without consideration of their merits.

All papers will be reviewed by at least two Program Committee members on the basis
of technical quality, originality, clarity, and relevance to the track topics
listed below. At least one author of each paper must attend the workshop to present
the paper.
