CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Sixth European Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems (EUMAS 2008) University of Bath, Bath, UK, 18th--19th December 2008 http://eumas08.cs.bath.ac.uk/



OVERVIEW

EUMAS 2008 is the sixth edition of the EUMAS meeting series that started in Oxford in 2003. This year's meeting retains the traditions of past events with a focus on student presentation, early results and re-presentation of recent conference papers.

Additionally, it is hoped that as in past years, there will be several Technical Forum Groups on the day prior to the meeting (Wednesday, December 17th). Details are yet to be finalized. Please see http://eumas08.cs.bath.ac.uk/tfg/.

We are pleased to report there were 71 submissions this year. These are currently in review, with decisions due on October 20th.

LOCATION

The City of Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage site located in the south-west of England. Founded by the Romans as a thermal spa, Bath became an important centre of the wool industry in the Middle Ages. In the 18th century, under King George III, it developed into an elegant town with neo-classical Palladian buildings, which blend harmoniously with the Roman baths.

The University of Bath campus is situated in the hills surrounding the city and is a leading UK university with an international reputation for teaching quality and research. Further information about the University of Bath, how to get here and finding your way around is available from http://www.bath.ac.uk/getting-here/.

Bath can be easily reached by road, train or air. For international participants, Bath is best served by either Bristol International Airport or London Heathrow; we advise strongly against using any of the other London airports.
