Programme

EMAS 2013 received 31 submissions (one was withdrawn before being reviewed). Of the 30 reviewed papers, 19 were accepted. Note that these accepted papers are a mixture of well-developed mature work, and somewhat preliminary work. The papers will be published in the informal workshop proceedings, and then revised (and re-reviewed) for the Springer LNAI post-proceedings.
