        <p>The Demonstrations Track took place on November 1st and complemented the Research Paper track of the conference, o ering an opportunity to researchers for presenting late-breaking research results, on-going research projects, and speculative or innovative work in progress. The informal setting of the Demonstrations Track, co-located with the Posters Session, encouraged presenters and participants to engage in discussions about their work. Such discussions provided precious inputs for the future work of the presenters, while o ering participants an e ective way to broaden their knowledge of the emerging research trends and to network with other researchers.</p>

      <p>Finally, Bas Testerink and Floris Bex presented a practical approach for
\Developing Argumentation Dialogues for Open Multi-Agent Systems", as stated by
the title of their paper. They started from the obstervation that, despite the large
amount of research into the formal aspects of dialogue games for argumentation,
actual software and development tools that allow for the deployment of open,
multi-agent dialogue environments are still lacking. To ll this gap, they
presented the rst steps towards a such an environment, where agents can engage
in peer-to-peer argumentation dialogues.</p>
