\section{Introduction}
This document explains the main features of the `\texttt{aamas}'
document class, which is essentially identical to the `\texttt{acmart}'
document class provided by the ACM. The only difference is a minor
modification to allow for the correct copyright attribution to IFAAMAS.
For detailed documentation of the original document class, please refer
to the relevant website maintained by the~ACM:
%
\begin{center}
\url{https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template}
\end{center}
%
The first command in your source file should be either one of these:
\begin{verbatim}
\documentclass[sigconf]{aamas}
\documentclass[sigconf,anonymous]{aamas}
\end{verbatim}
%
The first variant should be used for final papers. The second should be
used when you submit your paper for blind review; it will replace the
names of the authors with the submission number.
Make sure your paper includes the correct copyright information and
the correct specification of the \emph{ACM Reference Format}. Both of
these will be generated automatically if you include the correct
\emph{copyright block} as shown in the source file of this document.
Modifying the template---e.g., by changing margins, typeface sizes,
line spacing, paragraph or list definitions---or making excessive use
of the `\verb|\vspace|' command to manually adjust the vertical spacing
between elements of your work is not allowed. You risk getting your
submission rejected (or your final paper excluded from the proceedings)
in case such modifications are discovered. The `\texttt{aamas}' document
class requires the use of the \textit{Libertine} typeface family, which
should be included with your \LaTeX\ installation. Please do not use
other typefaces instead.
Please consult the \emph{Call for Papers} for information on matters
such as the page limit or anonymity requirements. It is available from
the conference website:
%
\begin{center}
\url{https://aamas2023.soton.ac.uk/}
\end{center}
%
To balance the columns on the final page of your paper, use the
`\texttt{balance}' package and issue the `\verb|\balance|' command
somewhere in the text of what would be the first column of the last
page without balanced columns. This will be required for final papers.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\section{The Preamble}
You will be assigned a submission number when you register the abstract
of your paper on \textit{EasyChair}. Include this number in your
document using the `\verb|\acmSubmissionID|' command.
Then use the familiar commands to specify the title and authors of your
paper in the preamble of the document. The title should be appropriately
capitalised (meaning that every `important' word in the title should
start with a capital letter). For the final version of your paper, make
sure to specify the affiliation and email address of each author using
the appropriate commands. Specify an affiliation and email address
separately for each author, even if two authors share the same
affiliation. You can specify more than one affiliation for an author by
using a separate `\verb|\affiliation|' command for each affiliation.
Provide a short abstract using the `\texttt{abstract}' environment.
Finally, specify a small number of keywords characterising your work,
using the `\verb|\keywords|' command.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\section{The Body of the Paper}
For help with typesetting the body of your paper in \LaTeX\@, please
make use of the familiar resources~\cite{Lam94}. In this section we
merely highlight a few specific features.
\subsection{Mathematical Expressions}
You can typeset all sorts of in-line mathematical expressions
with the usual \verb|$...$| construct, as in
$\Diamond\Diamond\varphi \rightarrow \Diamond\varphi$ or
$\boldsymbol{R} = (R_1,\ldots,R_n)$.
For more complex expressions, it may often be preferable to use one of
the various equation-type environments available in \LaTeX\@, as shown
in the following example:
%
\begin{eqnarray}
Z_i & = & \frac{u_i(x_i) - u_i(x_{-i})}{u_i(x_i)}
\end{eqnarray}
%
Here is a second example for an equation:
%
\begin{eqnarray}\label{eq:vcg}
p_i(\boldsymbol{\hat{v}}) & = &
\sum_{j \neq i} \hat{v}_j(f(\boldsymbol{\hat{v}}_{-i})) -
\sum_{j \neq i} \hat{v}_j(f(\boldsymbol{\hat{v}}))
\end{eqnarray}
%
Use the usual combination of `\verb|\label|' and `\verb|\ref|' to refer
to numbered equations, such as Equation~(\ref{eq:vcg}) above. Of course,
introducing numbers in the first place is only helpful if you in fact
need to refer back to the equation in question elsewhere in the paper.
\subsection{Tables and Figures}
Use the `\texttt{table}' environment (or its variant `\texttt{table*}')
in combination with the `\texttt{tabular}' environment to typeset tables
as floating objects. The `\texttt{aamas}' document class includes the
`\texttt{booktabs}' package for preparing high-quality tables. Tables
are often placed at the top of a page near their initial cite, as done
here for Table~\ref{tab:locations}.
\begin{table}[t]
\caption{Locations of the first five editions of AAMAS}
\label{tab:locations}
\begin{tabular}{rll}\toprule
\textit{Year} & \textit{City} & \textit{Country} \\ \midrule
2002 & Bologna & Italy \\
2003 & Melbourne & Australia \\
2004 & New York City & USA \\
2005 & Utrecht & The Netherlands \\
2006 & Hakodate & Japan \\ \bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
The caption of a table should be placed \emph{above} the table.
Always use the `\verb|\midrule|' command to separate header rows from
data rows, and use it only for this purpose. This enables assistive
technologies to recognise table headers and support their users in
navigating tables more easily.
%%% The following command should be issued somewhere in the first column
%%% of the final page of your paper.
\balance
Use the `\texttt{figure}' environment for figures. If your figure
contains third-party material, make sure to clearly identify it as such.
Every figure should include a caption, and this caption should be placed
\emph{below} the figure itself, as shown here for Figure~\ref{fig:logo}.
\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.75\linewidth]{aamas2023logo}
\caption{The logo of AAMAS 2023}
\label{fig:logo}
\Description{Logo of AAMAS 2023 -- The 22nd International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems.}
\end{figure}
In addition, every figure should also have a figure description, unless
it is purely decorative. Use the `\verb|\Description|' command for this
purpose. These descriptions will not be printed but can be used to
convey what's in an image to someone who cannot see it. They are also
used by search engine crawlers for indexing images, and when images
cannot be loaded. A figure description must consist of unformatted plain
text of up to 2000~characters. For example, the definition of
Figure~\ref{fig:logo} in the source file of this document includes the
following description: ``Logo of AAMAS 2023 -- The 22nd International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems.'' For more information on how best to write figure descriptions
and why doing so is important, consult the information available here:
%
\begin{center}
\url{https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/describing-figures/}
\end{center}
%
The use of colour in figures and graphs is permitted, provided they
remain readable when printed in greyscale and provided they are
intelligible also for people with a colour vision deficiency.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\section{Citations and References}
The use of the \BibTeX\ to prepare your list of references is highly
recommended. To include the references at the end of your document, put
the following two commands just before the `\verb|\end{document}|'
command in your source file:
%
\begin{verbatim}
\bibliographystyle{ACM-Reference-Format}
\bibliography{mybibfile}
\end{verbatim}
%
Here we assume that `\texttt{mybibfile.bib}' is the name of your
\BibTeX\ file. Use the `\verb|\cite|' command to produce citations
to your references. Here are a few examples for citations of journal
articles~\cite{GrKr96,WoJe95}, books~\cite{Knu97}, articles in
conference proceedings~\cite{Hag1993}, technical reports~\cite{Har78},
Master's and PhD theses~\cite{Ani03,Cla85}, online videos~\cite{Oba08},
datasets~\cite{AnMC13}, and patents~\cite{Sci09}. Both citations and
references are numbered by default.
Make sure you provide complete and correct bibliographic information
for all your references, and list authors with their full names
(``Donald E.\ Knuth'') rather than just initials (``D.\ E.\ Knuth'').
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%% The acknowledgments section is defined using the "acks" environment
%%% (rather than an unnumbered section). The use of this environment
%%% ensures the proper identification of the section in the article
%%% metadata as well as the consistent spelling of the heading.
\begin{acks}
If you wish to include any acknowledgments in your paper (e.g., to
people or funding agencies), please do so using the `\texttt{acks}'
environment. Note that the text of your acknowledgments will be omitted
if you compile your document with the `\texttt{anonymous}' option.
\end{acks}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%% The next two lines define, first, the bibliography style to be
%%% applied, and, second, the bibliography file to be used.
\bibliographystyle{ACM-Reference-Format}
\bibliography{sample}
