Deadline Extension & Papers in CLIMA-X proceedings
Agent Contest 2009 - News
Sunday, 23 August 2009 13:22

Dear AgentContest participants,


after a discussion among AgentContest 2009 and CLIMA-X organizers we decided to include the AgentContest papers in CLIMA-X proceedings. To facilitate this, we decided to change the originally announced camera-ready version submission procedure. You should not send the camera-ready version of your paper to Mehdi Dastani, but rather submit it via the CLIMA-X submission system handled by EasyChair.

Some of you already received a notification e-mail from the EasyChair system in which we invite you to submit a paper to CLIMA-X proceedings.

Please submit camera-ready version of your AgentContest 2009 papers directly into the CLIMA-X proceedings submission system. Note, that besides the final PDF, we ask you to also submit complete LaTeX sources of your paper.

The deadline stays the same as announced before, i.e.,  August 28th 2009.
