nzvoqintuclausthalde call submissions second clima contest association clima vii aamas 2006 may 8 2006 future university hakodate japan httpcigintuclausthaldeclimacontest aim scope competition attempt stimulate research area multiagent systems 1 identifying key problems 2 collecting suitable benchmarks serve milestones testing new approaches techniques computational logics exist several competitions various parts artificial intelligence theorem proving planning robocup etc lately also specialised areas agent systems trading agents emphasis contest use computational logic multiagent systems expect promote development multiagent systems first identifying difficult problems finding solutions comparing different approaches computational logic solving idea seems appealing easy task come particular scenario serves basis contest scenario generic enough applicable wide range techniques computational logic also precise enough different approaches tested compared scenario description competition organised part clima vii consists developing multiagent systems solve cooperative task dynamically changing environment environment multiagent system gridlike world agents move one cell neighbouring cell agent obstacle already cell environment gold appear cells participating agent teams explore environment avoid obstacles compete another agent team gold environment agents team coordinate actions order collect much gold deliver depot gold safely stored agent located grid environment perceive 1 absolute positions grid environment 2 content surrounding cells including cell agent currently standing 9 cells total agents local view environment perceptions incomplete actions may fail agents may haveplay different roles explorer collector communicate cooperate order find collect gold efficient effective way contest participating agent teams randomly divided groups team one group compete teams group series matches winners groups form new groups team new group play teams group series matches match two competing teams consist several odd number simulations simulation two teams competition respect certain starting configuration environment winning simulation yields 3 points team draw 1 point loss 0 winner whole tournament evaluated basis overall number collected points matches tournament encourage submissions specify design multiagent system terms highlevel concepts goals beliefs plans roles communication coordination negotiation dialogue order generate efficient effective solution mentioned application moreover use computational logic techniques eg logic programming formal calculi etcin implementations multiagent system appreciated challenge competition use computational logic techniques provide implemented models abstract concepts used specification design multiagent systems implemented models integrated implement abovementioned application intuitively directly effectively participation requirements participation contest consists two parts 1 submission description analysis design implementation multiagent system application existing multiagent system methodologies gaia prometheus tropos used demanded describe analysis design system description implementation explained design implemented done explaining example computational logic techniques used implement certain aspects multiagent system including issues related individual agents maximum length description 5 pages according lncs format 2 participation contest tournament means executable implementation multiagent system agents participating multiagent systems
