International Workshop on Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems for Space Applications (MASSpace'24)
at AAMAS 2024, the 23rd International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems

This workshop aims at disseminating and sharing recent advances in the use of agent-based and multi-agent-based models and techniques in the Space domain. Indeed, the use of agent-based and multi-agent systems (MAS) in aerospace and space is gaining traction, as they offer a promising approach for modeling and solving distributed, complex and dynamic problems. Sample applications notably include multiple spacecraft operations and maintenance, onboard-ground coordination, mission simulation, multi-mission operation, autonomous navigation, and collective robotics.

AAMAS-related areas such as Engineering Multiagent Systems, Knowledge Representation, Reasoning, and Planning, Markets, Auctions, and Non-Cooperative Game Theory or Modelling and Simulation of Societies, develop relevant models and techniques to address such Space-related applications.

Some topics that will be discussed during the workshops are:

• Coordination, Organisations, Institutions, Norms and Ethics, for devising organisational models of more and more complex Space system of systems;
• Engineering Multiagent Systems, for providing tools for programming agents in this context;
• Knowledge Representation, Reasoning, and Planning, for providing methods to efficiently plan spacecraft and space assets activities;
• Learning and Adaptation, for enabling assets to adapt to the high dynamic nature of the Space systems;
• Markets, Auctions, and Non-Cooperative Game Theory, for providing tools to coordinate activities in market-based Newspace;
• Modeling and Simulation of Societies, for assessing behavior and performance of systems to be deployed;
• Social Choice and Cooperative Game Theory, for coordinating resource usage in more and more shared environments.

• Submission of contributions to workshops: February 5, 2024
• Paper acceptance notification: March 4, 2024
• Call for participation: March 18, 2024
• Workshop: May 6-7, 2024
