** FIRST CALL FOR TUTORIALS **

XV International Conference on
AUTONOMOUS AGENTS AND MULTIAGENT SYSTEMS (AAMAS 2016)

Singapore
May 9-13, 2016

http://sis.smu.edu.sg/aamas2016

The AAMAS 2016 Organizing Committee invites proposals for the Tutorial Program, to be held on 9-10, immediately before the technical conference. AAMAS 2016 Tutorials should serve one or more of the following objectives:

* Introduce novices to major topics of AAMAS research.
* Provide instruction in established practices and methodologies.
* Survey a mature area of AAMAS research or practice.
* Motivate and explain an AAMAS topic of emerging importance.
* Introduce expert non-specialists to an AAMAS area.
* Survey an area of agent research especially relevant for people from industry
* Present a novel synthesis combining distinct lines of AAMAS work.
* Introduce AAMAS audiences to an external topic that can motivate or use AAMAS research.

Topic areas of interest include all of those listed in the call for the technical track (see http://sis.smu.edu.sg/aamas2016), including the special tracks on robotics, virtual agents, and innovative applications.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Those interested in presenting a tutorial should register their interest on an online form (see below) and submit a proposal to the AAMAS-16 Tutorial Co-chairs, David Pynadath and Sebastian Sardina. Proposals should be two to four pages in length, and should contain the following information:

A short title of the tutorial.
A one paragraph brief description of the tutorial, suitable for inclusion in the conference registration brochure.
Preferred length for the tutorial (half day or full day).
Characterization of the potential target audience for the tutorial, including prerequisite knowledge.
A description of why the tutorial topic would be of interest to a substantial part of the AAMAS audience.
A detailed outline of the tutorial.
A brief resume of the presenter(s), which should include:
name, postal address, phone numbers, email address; background in the tutorial area, any available example of work in the area (ideally, a published tutorial-level article on the subject); evidence of teaching/presentation experience (including references that address the proposer's presentation skills as applicable); and evidence of scholarship in the area.
The name and e-mail address of the corresponding presenter. The corresponding presenter should be available for e-mail correspondence during the evaluation process, in the case clarifications and discussions on the scope and content of the proposal are needed.

The evaluation of the proposal will take into account the level of general interest for AAMAS attendees, the quality of the proposal, and the expertise and skills of the presenters. We emphasize that the primary criteria for evaluation will be whether a proposal is interesting, well-structured, and motivated, rather than the perceived experience/standing of the proposer.

Those submitting a proposal should keep in mind that tutorials are intended to provide an overview of the field; they should present reasonably well established information in a balanced way. Tutorials should not be used to advocate a single avenue of research, nor should they promote a product.

The selection of the tutorials to be included in the final AAMAS program will be based upon a number of factors, including: the scientific/technical interest of the topics, the quality of the proposal, the need to avoid strictly overlapping tutorials, and the unavoidable need to limit the overall number of selected tutorials.


RESPONSIBILITIES (with respect to accepted proposals)

AAMAS will be responsible for:
* Providing logistic support and a meeting place for the tutorial.
* Together with the organizers, determining the tutorial date and time.
* Duplicating tutorial material and distributing them to the participants.

Tutorial organizers will be responsible for:
* Providing AAMAS with a legible PDF copy of their tutorial notes by March, 4, 2016.
* Providing a web-site for the tutorial, which includes title and abstract of the tutorial, presenters' details, outline, tutorial notes and related reading material.
* Presenting the tutorial at AAMAS 2016.

AAMAS reserves the right to cancel any tutorial if the above responsibilities are not fulfilled, if deadlines are missed, or if too few attendees register for the tutorial to support the costs of running the tutorial.

IMPORTANT DATES

December 1, 2016: Tutorial Proposal Submission Deadline December 20, 2016: Tutorial Acceptance Notifications March 19, 2016: Deadline for submitting tutorial notes May 9-10, 2016: Tutorial Forum Presentations

The Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), established
in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT),
is seeking exceptional faculty members at all ranks (tenure-track and
tenured, including senior faculty) in the areas of Engineering Systems
and Design. SUTD, the first university in the world with a focus on
design accomplished through an integrated multi-disciplinary
curriculum, has a mission to advance knowledge and nurture technically
grounded leaders and innovators to serve societal needs. SUTD is
characterized by a breadth of intellectual perspectives (the
"university"), a focus on engineering foundations ("technology") and
an emphasis on innovation and creativity (design). The University's
programs are based on four pillars, each leading to a separate degree
program, with Engineering Systems and Design one of the four.

MIT's multi-faceted collaboration with SUTD includes curriculum
development and initial course deployment, faculty and student
recruiting, mentoring, and career development, and collaboration on
joint research projects, through a major new international design
centre, funding opportunities, and student exchanges. Professor Thomas
Magnanti, former Dean of Engineering at MIT (and former President of
INFORMS), is the Founding President of SUTD. Saif Benjaafar,
Distinguished McKnight University Professor and former Director of
Industrial & Systems Engineering at the University of Minnesota, was
the Founding Head of the Pillar of Engineering Systems and Design.

We seek individuals with an earned doctorate (or nearing completion)
in an engineering systems-related field, including operations
research, operations management, industrial engineering, applied
mathematics and statistics, economics and public policy. Individuals
with research interests in large scale and complex systems, including,
but not limited to, supply chains, transportation and logistics,
healthcare, energy and the environment, service systems, critical
infrastructure, and security, are particularly encouraged to apply.
Applicants must have a solid grounding in one or more methodologies,
including, but not limited to, optimization, stochastic modeling,
statistics, network science, game theory, system dynamics,
econometrics and behavioral sciences. Applicants should have a strong
commitment to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, to
mentoring and advising of undergraduate and graduate students, and to
developing and maintaining an active research program.

Candidates should submit a letter of interest, a CV, sample
publications, statements of research and teaching interests, and three
letters of reference. Applications are being accepted online at
www.sutd.edu.sg/careers.htm. Additional information about the
university and the engineering systems and design pillar can be found
at www.sutd.edu.sg. Inquiries about the position can be directed to
Associate Professor Karthik Natarajan (karthik_natarajan@sutd.edu.sg),
Associate Head of the Pillar of Engineering Systems and Design. If you
will be at INFORMS, please drop a mail towards this.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
====================

The Foundations & Practice of Security (FPS) Symposium started as a
Franco-Canadian meeting sponsored by MITACS, INRIA and Institut
Mines-Telecom, and has since 2011 grown to be an international event
on its own. After the previous meetings held in La Rochelle, Montreal,
Grenoble, Toronto and Paris, this 8th edition of the FPS symposium
will be held in Clermont-Ferrand, France.

The aim of FPS is to discuss and exchange theoretical and practical
ideas that address security issues in inter-connected systems. It aims
to provide scientific presentations as well as to establish links,
promote scientific collaboration, joint research programs, and student
exchanges between institutions involved in this important and fast
moving research field.
