CALL FOR PAPERS The 4th International Workshop on Agent-based Modeling and Applications with SARL (SARL-20) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In conjunction with the 11th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks, and Technologies ANT 2020 and the European SarlCon 2020 April 6 - 9, 2020, Warsaw, Poland. http://www.multiagent.fr/Conferences:SARL20 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description =========== Research on Agents and Multi-Agent Systems has matured during the last decade and many effective applications of this technology are now deployed. SARL-20 provides an international forum to present and discuss the latest scientific developments and their effective applications, to assess the impact of the approach, and to facilitate technology transfer. SARL workshop was born with the SARL agent programming language, but the scientific results presented in SARL-20 are not restricted to SARL; other languages and agent platforms may be presented. SARL aims at providing the fundamental abstractions for dealing with concurrency, distribution, interaction, decentralization, reactivity, autonomy and dynamic reconfiguration. These high-level features are now considered as the major requirements for an easy and practical implementation of modern complex software applications. We are convinced that the agent-oriented paradigm holds the keys to effectively meet these features. Considering the variety of existing approaches and meta-models in the field of agent-oriented engineering and more generally multi-agent systems, our approach remains as generic as possible and highly extensible to easily integrate new concepts and features. The goal of SARL-20 is to provide a place where the different points of view on the modeling and the simulation with agent platforms and agent programming languages may be discussed. SARL-20 will be held in Warsaw, Poland (April 6 - 9, 2020) in conjunction with the 11th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks, and Technologies (ANT 2020) and the European SarlCon 2020.

Submission ========== All workshop accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings published by Elsevier Science in the open-access Procedia Computer Science series online. The submitted paper must be formatted according to the guidelines of Procedia Computer Science, Elsevier. You are invited to submit full length papers in PDF format on EasyChair (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sarl20), not exceeding 6 pages in length, in single-column format including diagrams and references while following the Procedia Computer Science guidelines. Papers that do not follow these guidelines may be rejected without consideration of their merits. All papers will be reviewed by at least two Program Committee members on the basis of technical quality, originality, clarity, and relevance to the track topics listed above. At least one author of each paper must attend the workshop to present the paper.
