Paper Submission
Camera ready instructions here.
This year the conference is soliciting full papers (8 pages) and short
papers (4 pages). Accepted full length papers will receive a slot
for oral presentation in the conference. In addition, both full and
short papers will be presented in poster sessions and appear in the
conference proceedings.
Short papers are encouraged as a mechanism for both important results
that can be succinctly presented, as well as the timely reporting of
interesting but preliminary work, that may not as yet have the level
of evaluation or detail that would be expected for a full paper. The
program chairs may, at their discretion, accept papers submitted as
full papers into the short paper track.
Both full and short papers will be peer reviewed rigorously and
evaluated on the basis of originality, contribution to the field,
soundness, significance, presentation, understanding of the state of the
art, and overall quality of the contribution. Reviewing will be double
blind, therefore please avoid including anything that can be used to identify paper
authors.
Submissions should be made electronically in PDF format, following the
formatting instructions below. For initial submission, the author field
must contain the paper tracking number assigned to the paper after
abstract registration instead of author names. Submissions must not
have appeared before (or be pending to appear) in a journal or
conference with published proceedings, nor may they be under review or
submitted to another forum during the AAMAS-08 review process.
All submissions will be (double) blind reviewed (i.e. in addition to
authors not knowing the identity of reviewers, reviewers will not be
told the identity of authors). Please ensure that you remove author
names and contact details from your submission, by replacing the
contents of the author field with "Tracking Number: ###", where ###
is the Tracking Number you received when you submitted your
abstract. Please also ensure that any reference to your own previous
work is made in a way that does not disclose author identity. In some
cases you may consider removing citations to your own previous work
until the final version.
Please submit all paper submissions via the ConfMaster website.
Submissions will be accepted starting Oct. 2, 2007
Abstracts must be submitted by Oct 23rd (midnight Eastern Standard Time)
Papers must be submitted by Oct 26th (midnight Eastern Standard Time)
Formatting instructions
LaTeX Users:
1. Please use this LaTeX2e style.
It's a trivial modification of the ACM LaTeX style, with the AAMAS 2008 info and IFAAMAS copyright info inserted. The size of the copyright slug is only half the size of the original ACM style. If there are problems with the style file, please contact the publication chair, not ACM, as they will NOT give support for the modified style files.
2. Please use the 'abbrv' bibliography style. To do so, please insert the following line at the end of your document (before \end{document}) :
\bibliographystyle{abbrv}
3. Please use Type 1 fonts for your .ps file. Click here for help. If you still have difficulty check with your system administrator.
4. Format your document for American Letter paper (8-1/2x11):
To ensure your submission is formatted for Letter paper, use \documentclass[letterpaper]{aamas2008} in your
LaTeX file, and use "dvips -t letter".
Short Papers:
For Short Paper submissions, the following style file should be used. It replaces every \subtitle command by the text: "(Short Paper)" and
adds information to the copyright info.
For additional information, you may also have a look at this example and the comments therein.
Word Users:
Please use this template for Word with the corresponding modification of the ACM style. If there are problems with the template, please contact the publication chair, not ACM, as ACM will NOT give support for the modified template.
Short Papers:
For Short Paper submissions use this file as template. A subtitle "(Short Paper)" as well as the necessary copyright information is added.
Other word processing software
Follow this style description - again it describes the above mentioned small modification of the ACM style.
Short Papers:
For Short Paper submissions, follow the instructions in this style description. It corresponds to the style description of the full paper, except for a subtitle "(Short Paper)" and more information in the copyright part.
