Call for Submissions to the
Doctoral Mentoring Program
part of
The Thirteenth International Joint Conference on
AUTONOMOUS AGENTS AND MULTIAGENT SYSTEMS (AAMAS 2014)
Paris, France
Symposium Date: May 5, 2014
Conference Dates: May 5-9, 2014
http://aamas2014.lip6.fr/
Following past successful editions, AAMAS 2014 will again include a
doctoral mentoring program, intended for PhD students in advanced
stages of their research. This program will provide an opportunity for
students to interact closely with established researchers in their
fields, to receive feedback on their work and to get advice on
managing their careers.
Specifically, the goals of the program are:
* To match each student with an established researcher in the
community, who will act as a mentor. The mentor will interact
closely with the student, to provide feedback on the student's
research, help form new contacts, etc.
* To allow students an opportunity to present their work to a friendly
audience of other students as well as mentors.
* To provide students with suggestions for managing their careers,
contacts and professional networking opportunities.
* To provide ample opportunities for interactions between mentors and
their students prior to the conference, as well as a one day
doctoral symposium.
Those students selected to take part in the mentoring program will be
invited to submit a 2-page extended abstract which will be included in
the AAMAS 2014 proceedings.
Submissions
We encourage submissions from PhD students in advanced stages of their
research within the Autonomous Agents and Multi Agent Systems field.
Based on the submissions, the organizing committee will select a group
of students that will be invited to participate in the program. Those
students selected will be expected to take active part in all program
activities.
Submissions consist of documents which students should provide,
together with a recommendation letter from the advisor/supervisor. The
submission materials consist of:
1. A two-page extended abstract of the student's thesis (in the AAMAS
submission format)
2. A short (2-page) resume (Curriculum Vitae)
3. A recommendation letter from the advisor/supervisor.
The first two items should be submitted via EasyChair:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dcaamas14
The student advisor/supervisor should send their letter of
recommendation (third item) via email to the Doctoral Mentoring
Program chairs:
Edith Elkind (elkind@cs.ox.ac.uk )
Karl Tuyls (k.tuyls@liverpool.ac.uk)
Wamberto Vasconcelos (w.w.vasconcelos@abdn.ac.uk)
by February 9, 2014.
The letter should address the expected benefit of the student
attending, the significance of the research, and the expected date for
thesis submission. This letter can be sent in either plain text or
PDF format. The student's name must be clearly pointed out in the
letter.
