The purpose of the 5th International Conference on Agents and Artificial
Intelligence (ICAART) is to bring together researchers, engineers and
practitioners
interested in the theory and applications in these areas. Two simultaneous
but strongly related tracks will be held, covering both applications and
current
research work within the area of Agents, Multi-Agent Systems and Software
Platforms, Distributed Problem Solving and Distributed AI in general,
including web
applications, on one hand, and within the area of non-distributed AI,
including the more traditional areas such as Knowledge Representation,
Planning,
Learning, Scheduling, Perception and also not so traditional areas such as
Reactive AI Systems, Evolutionary Computing and other aspects of
Computational
Intelligence and many other areas related to intelligent systems, on the
other hand.
A substantial amount of research work is ongoing in these knowledge areas,
in an attempt to discover appropriate theories and paradigms to use in
real-world
applications. Much of this important work is therefore theoretical in
nature. However there is nothing as practical as a good theory, as Boltzman
said many
years ago, and some theories have indeed made their way into practice.
Informatics applications are pervasive in many areas of Artificial
Intelligence and
Distributed AI, including Agents and Multi-Agent Systems; This conference
intends to emphasize this connection, therefore, authors are invited to
highlight
the benefits of Information Technology (IT) in these areas. Ideas on how to
solve problems using agents and artificial intelligence, both in R&D and
industrial applications, are welcome. Papers describing advanced prototypes,
systems, tools and techniques and general survey papers indicating future
directions are also encouraged. Papers describing original work are invited
in any of the areas listed below. Accepted papers, presented at the
conference by
one of the authors, will be published in the Proceedings of ICAART with an
ISBN. A book with the best papers of the conferene will be published by
Springer-
Verlag. Acceptance will be based on quality, relevance and originality. Both
full research reports and work-in-progress reports are welcome. There will
be
both oral and poster sessions.
Special sessions, dedicated to case-studies and commercial presentations, as
well as tutorials dedicated to technical/scientific topics are also
envisaged:
companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies or
researchers interested in holding a tutorial are invited to contact the
conference
secretariat. Additional information can be found at http://www.icaart.org/.
