Overview

The America's School runs over four days.

The first two days, which take place directly before AAMAS 2004, will have a single track. The lectures on these days will give students a broad overview of the most important topics in the field of Agents and Multiagent Systems.

For the second two days, students will pick tutorials from the AAMAS 2004 Tutorials Program. This will allow them to gain a deep understanding of the topics of most interest to them.
