Abstract in another language
This volume contains the papers presented at the Student Session of the 10th European Agent Systems Summer School (EASSS) held on 7th of May 2008 at the New University of Lisbon, Portugal. The Student Session, organised for students by students, is designed to encourage student interaction and feedback from the community. By providing the students with a conference-like setup, both in the presentation and in the review process, students have the opportunity to prepare their own submission, go through the selection process and present their work to each other and their interests to their fellow students as well as internationally leading experts in the agent field, both from the theoretical and the practical sector. The goal of the Student Session is to provide the speakers with constructive feedback and means to be introduced to the community. Therefore, the competitive elements often found in conferences (best paper award, best presentation award) are intentionally omitted. Preparing a good paper is a difficult task, practicing it is the benefit of the Student Session. All submissions were peer-reviewed and accepted paper submissions were assigned a 25 minute slot for presentation at the Summer School. Typically a presentation either detailed the intended approach to a problem or asked a specific question, directed at the audience. The review process itself was extremely selective and many good papers could not be accepted for the final presentation. Each submission was reviewed by 4 programme committee members on the average, who decided to accept the 6 papers that are presented in these proceedings. Overall, the EASSS'08 Student Session as well as the Summer School in general were a great success, which would not have been possible without the help of a number of people. We, the organisers of the Student Session, would like to thank the whole EASSS'08 committee, especially Joao Leite and Mehdi Dastani, for giving us valuable advice, as well as Hanno Hildmann, who introduced us into chairing the Student Session. Furthermore we like to thank the reviewers for giving feedback to the students. Finally our thanks go to Luis Antunes, who volunteered in chairing the second track of the Student Session. We had a great time, and we are looking forward to seeing all of you next year in Hungary.
