Program

Online organisation

Due to the ongoing global COVID-19 situation, in case the whole AAMAS conference will be held online, hence the workshop will accordingly be asynchronous and online, which means that each person interprets the schedule in their own time zone and an appropriate platform for sharing presentations and engaging discussion will be setup and communicated to authors in due time. The aim of such a schedule is:

  • to get a commitment to spend time watching talks
  • engaging with comments to create synchronisation within each timezone
  • allowing for some discussion and social interaction

The Underline.io platform used for AAMAS main conference cannot be used a comprehensive platform for workshops too, as video embeddings and Q&A chat are not available. Hence, A2HC 2021 Committee chosen to deliver presentations and facilitate discussion in the following ways:

  • this page will be the reference for accessing talks, slides, discussions, anything related to the workshop
  • A2HC 2021 still has its own page on Underline.io, that reports the program schedule and the Zoom link to the Opening and Discussion Table sessions (see below)
  • talks will be pre-recorded, hosted on either YouTube or Vimeo, and shared below in the “Schedule” section
  • slides will be hosted directly here or on Slideshare, and shared below in the “Schedule” section
  • a “Social Table” Google Doc is made available to engage discussions asynchronously (exemplary Q&A are provided)

Authors are expected to regularly monitor and respond to questions and comments on their paper. All workshop participants are welcome to join the discussion. Presenters (and other co-authors in general) MUST COMMIT to regularly monitor the Social Table and reply to comments as appropriate, as a form of social engagement.

Finally, live Q&A sessions with the authors of the workshop papers will be organised on a per-need basis: please, contact A2HC 2021 organisers to setup a Q&A session. At least one organiser will then setup the session and attend as moderator. The schedule of this live Q&A sessions will be agreed upon case by case amongst the paper authors and the interested people.

Schedule

The workshop will be held on May, 4th 2021, from 13:00 to 16:00 BST, in an asynchronous way. This means that the only livestreaming sessions will be the Opening and the Discussion Table, as pre schedule below. All presentations will be pre-recorded.
