agent school

After successful summer schools on Agent Systems in Utrecht, Saarbrucken, Prague, Barcelona, Bologna and Liverpool, Agentlink (www.agentlink.org) is planning to organise the seventh edition of this event in


Utrecht, the Netherlands, 18 - 22 July 2005
7th European Agent Systems Summer School
(EASSS-05)

(Note that this is one week before AAMAS'05 in Utrecht!)

http://www.agentlink.org/happenings/easss/2005/index.html


Researchers and teachers in this field are invited to submit a proposal for a course. A typical course is 4 hours in total, but deviations are possible. For an
impression, the courses of 2001 are collected in the LNAI series of Springer Verlag (No 2086), and programs of previous editions of EASSS are still at AgentLink's website.

The summer schools attract about 125 students each year. We intend to pay a modest contribution towards tutor expenses, but each tutor is encouraged to book and pay his/her own travel and accommodation to and in Utrecht.


submission requirements

Tutors are encouraged to submit a proposal for a course, including a 1 page description mentioning experience of the tutor, level of the course (beginners, advanced), duration (2, 6, or, preferably, 4 hours) and needs for equipment.

Proposals should be submitted by e-mail to Wiebe van der Hoek (wiebe@csc.liv.ac.uk) no later than December 19, 2004.
