FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

International Workshop on Logical Aspects of Multi-Agent Systems and 
Strategic Reasoning (LAMAS&SR)
Satellite workshop of AAMAS 2021, London, United Kingdom, May 3 or 4 
(TBA), 2021

     https://lamassr.github.io/

Logics and strategic reasoning play a central role in multi-agent systems.
Logics can be used, for instance, to express the agents' abilities, 
knowledge,
and objectives.
Strategic reasoning refers to algorithmic methods that allow for 
developing good behavior
for the agents of the system. At the intersection, we find logics that 
can express existence
of strategies or equilibria, and can be used to reason about them.

The LAMAS&SR workshop merges two international workshops:
LAMAS, which focuses on all kinds of logical aspects of multi-agent
systems from the perspectives of artificial intelligence, computer
science, and game theory, and SR, devoted to all aspects of strategic
reasoning in formal methods and artificial intelligence.

Over the years the communities and research themes of both workshops got 
closer and closer.
LAMAS&SR unifies LAMAS and SR under the same flag, formally joining the 
two communities in
order to expose each of them to a wider range of work relevant to their 
research.

LAMAS&SR is thus interested in all topics related to logics and
strategic reasoning in multi-agent systems, from theoretical foundations 
to algorithmic methods
and implemented tools.

The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:

     Logical systems for specificanews-AILA at googlegroups.comtion, 
analysis, and reasoning about multi-agent systems;
     Logic-based modeling of multi-agent systems;
     Dynamical multi-agent systems;
     Deductive systems and decision procedures for logics for 
multi-agent systems;
     Development and implementation of methods for formal verification 
in multi-agent systems;
     Logic-based tools for multi-agent systems;
     Logics for reasoning about strategic abilities;
     Logics for multi-agent mechanism design, verification, and synthesis;
     Logical foundations of decision theory for multi-agent systems;
     Strategic reasoning in formal verification;
     Automata theory for strategy synthesis;
     Applications and tools for cooperative and adversarial reasoning;
     Robust planning and optimization in multi-agent systems;
     Risk and uncertainty in multi-agent systems;
     Quantitative aspects in strategic reasoning.


LAMAS&SR 2021 will be held with AAMAS 2021 in London, England.


SUBMISSIONS:

Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts of 2 pages plus 1
page for references in the AAMAS format. Both published and
unpublished works are welcome. Submissions are
subject to a single-blind review process (submissions should not be
anonymous).

There will be no formal proceedings, but accepted extended abstracts
will be made available on the workshop's website.
We envisage that extensions of selected papers will be invited to a journal.

Authors are invited to submit their manuscript via EasyChair.
