Webpage: https://sites.google.com/view/famas/famas2019
************************************************************MISSION************************************************************
The workshop's focus is on various aspects of fair division and allocation problems in multiagent systems. The past few years have seen a significant growth in the field of allocating resources in domains where fairness is a concern. These include problems of allocating computational resources amongst several parties, or market mechanisms for allocating bundles of indivisible items. The allocation of public goods has also been receiving a lot of attention recently; this domain includes the allocation of a divisible budget to various projects given agents’ preferences (known as participatory budgeting in the literature), the allocation of time-slots in public spaces, or the allocation of public goods.
All submissions will be peer-reviewed and evaluated on the basis of the quality of their contribution, originality, significance, and the potential to generate fruitful discussions. Industrial applications and position papers presenting novel ideas, issues, challenges, and directions are also welcome.

The FAMAS workshop runs in parallel to the Games and Agents workshop, both co-located in AAMAS 2019, Montreal. We encourage submissions to both workshops. To prevent ambiguity, FAMAS is more focused on fair allocation problems, whereas the Games and Agents workshop is focused on cooperative/non-cooperative games.
