> The International Symposium on Multi-Robot and Multi-Agent Systems
> (MRS) is a single-track conference to be held at Rutgers University,
> New Brunswick, NJ, USA, on 22-23 August, 2019. MRS is an initiative of
> the IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Multi-Robot Systems, and is
> technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society
> (RAS).
> 
> http://multirobotsystems.org/
> 
> The goal of the conference is to bring together researchers who are in
> the field of multi-robot systems both directly and indirectly, to
> cross-fertilize ideas. Typically MRS research is spread across large
> conferences, and this makes it difficult for MRS researchers to keep
> up to date on new findings and meet others in the area. The intent of
> the conference is to bring those researchers together with a
> high-quality symposium to highlight the best in the field. We would
> like to see the top advances in multi-robot and multi-agent research
> represented at MRS 2019.
> 
> The focus of the MRS conference is on all aspects of multi-robot and
> multi-agent systems. We encourage high-quality papers from a broad
> range of topics in this area, ranging from design and analysis of
> algorithms to systems. Papers should contribute novel results that
> clearly advance the state-of-the-art, and should include analytical
> and/or experimental evaluation appropriate to the work. We would like
> to see the best of multi-robot and multi-agent research represented at
> MRS 2019. The fields of interest include the following general fields,
> but are not limited to:
> 
> - Modeling and Control of MRS/MAS
> - Optimal Control and Optimization Methods for MRS/MAS
> - Motion and Path Planning for MRS
> - Bio-Inspired MRS and Swarm Intelligence/Robotics
> - Distributed Perception and Estimation in MRS/MAS
> - Planning and Decision Making for MRS/MAS
> - Physical Interaction in/with MRS/MAS
> - Cooperative/Collective Learning in MRS/MAS
> - AI of Large-Scale Systems
> - Applications of MRS/MAS
> - Technological and Methodological Issues
> - MRS for Cooperative Manipulation
> - Micro/Nano Scale MRS
> - Operating Systems and Cloud Technology for MRS/MAS
> - Communication in MRS/MAS
> - Performance Evaluation and Benchmarking in MRS/MAS
> - Human-robot and Human-agent interaction
> - Game theoretic approaches for MAS/MRS
> - Teamwork, team formation, teamwork analysis
> 
> We invite submission of full papers (6 pages + references) or extended
> abstract (2 pages + references).  Details on the submission process
> are available on the conference website:
> 
> https://robotics.cs.rutgers.edu/mrs2019/contribute/
> 
> Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings
> available on the IEEE Xplore digital library. Top-quality papers will
> be invited for submission, in extended form, to a journal special
> issue after the conference.
