1# AAMAS Topic Selection
2 
3Use this before writing. AAMAS is strongest when the *agents* are the research object - when the
4result exists because multiple self-interested or cooperating agents interact - not when a
5single-agent method is dressed in multiagent vocabulary.

9- Prefer AAMAS when the contribution advances game-theoretic reasoning, multiagent learning,
10  mechanism design, auctions, negotiation, argumentation, coordination and teamwork, agent-based
11  simulation, or social choice, with the interaction as the object.
12- Route to NeurIPS or ICML if the core is a single-agent or general ML method and the
13  multiagent setting is only a testbed.
14- Route to AAAI or IJCAI if the contribution is broad AI - planning, knowledge representation,
15  reasoning - without an interaction result at its center.
16- Route to EC (Economics and Computation) if the contribution is primarily equilibrium
17  computation, market design, or auction theory with the economics framing dominant.
18- Route to the JAAMAS journal (or its AAMAS presentation track) when the work needs
19  journal-length exposition and a full-length archival treatment.
20- Check early whether the interaction result can be made convincing in an 8-page body.
