The Workshop on Practical Improvements to Peer Review (PIPeR) will take place as a half-day workshop the morning of May 20, 2025. It will be co-located with AAMAS 2025 in Detroit.
PIPeR aims to improve the conference review process at AI and CS conferences (such as AAMAS) through practical discussion and actionable initiatives, rather than theoretical concepts. Conference reviewing is judged by many to be rapidly deteriorating. This workshop aims at finding practical ways of stopping or slowing down this process. Workshop participants will discuss possible changes to the peer review process, resulting in a few actionable suggestions to jointly propose to the IFAAMAS board and implement.
