Position papers and reports of advanced work in progress can also be submitted in this category. - System descriptions of up to 12 pages, describing new systems or significant upgrades of existing ones. - Extended abstracts of 2 to 5 pages reporting relevant work in progress or work that has been published or accepted for publication in the last 12 months.

All the accepted papers will appear in the informal workshop proceedings produced together with the AAMAS proceedings. Furthermore, post-proceedings of LAMAS’2012 are envisaged (as a journal special issue or a Springer LNCS/FoLLI sub-series volume) if the amount of quality submissions is sufficient.
