Two simultaneous related tracks will be held, covering both applications and current research work. One track focuses on Agents, Multi-Agent Systems and Software Platforms, Agile Management, Distributed Problem Solving and Distributed AI in general. The other track focuses mainly on Artificial Intelligence, Knowledge Representation, Planning, Learning, Scheduling, Perception, Data Mining, Data Science, Reactive AI Systems, and Evolutionary Computing and other topics related to Intelligent Systems and Computational Intelligence. CONFERENCE AREAS Each of these topic areas is expanded below but the sub-topics list is not exhaustive. Papers may address one or more of the listed sub-topics, although authors should not feel limited by them. Unlisted but related sub-topics are also acceptable, provided they fit in one of the following main topic areas: 1. AGENTS 2. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AREA 1: AGENTS Semantic Web Multi-Agent Systems Distributed Problem Solving Agent Communication Languages Agent Models and Architectures Cooperation and Coordination Conversational Agents Negotiation and Interaction Protocols Programming Environments and Languages Task Planning and Execution Autonomous Systems Cognitive Robotics Group Decision Making Web Intelligence Agent Platforms and Interoperability SOA and Software Agents Simulation Economic Agent Models Mobile Agents Privacy, safety and security Collective Intelligence Physical Agents Robot and Multi-robot Systems Self Organizing Systems Cloud Computing Auctions and Markets Agile Management AREA 2: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Intelligent User Interfaces Bayesian Networks Soft Computing Neural Networks Natural Language Processing Machine Learning Planning and Scheduling Knowledge Representation and Reasoning Uncertainty in AI Model-Based Reasoning Ontologies Data Mining Data Science Constraint Satisfaction State Space Search Case-Based Reasoning Cognitive Systems Reactive AI Vision and Perception Pattern Recognition Ambient Intelligence AI and Creativity Evolutionary Computing Fuzzy Systems Knowledge-Based System Industrial applications of AI Hybrid Intelligent Systems Visualization Knowledge-Based Maps KEYNOTE LECTURES Katia Sycara, Carnegie Mellon University, United States Tom Heskes, Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands Jérôme Lang, Université Paris-Dauphine, France Jaime Sichman, University of São Paulo, Brazil Eric Postma, Tilburg University, Netherlands PAPER SUBMISSION Authors should submit a paper in English, carefully checked for correct grammar and spelling, addressing one or several of the conference areas or topics. Each paper should clearly indicate the nature of its technical/scientific contribution, and the problems, domains or environments to which it is applicable. To facilitate the double-blind paper evaluation method, authors are kindly requested to produce and provide the paper WITHOUT any reference to any of the authors, including the authors’ personal details, the acknowledgments section of the paper and any other reference that may disclose the authors’ identity. Only original papers should be submitted. Authors are advised to read INSTICC\'s ethical norms regarding plagiarism and self-plagiarism thoroughly before submitting and must make sure that their submissions do not substantially overlap work which has been published elsewhere or simultaneously submitted to a journal or another conference with proceedings. Papers that contain any form of plagiarism will be rejected without reviews. Authors can submit their work in the form of a Regular Paper, representing completed and validated research, or as a Position Paper, portraying a short report of work in progress or an arguable opinion about an issue discussing ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures or results of scientific research focused on one of the conference topic areas. All papers must be submitted through the online submission platform PRIMORIS and should follow the instructions and templates that can be found under Guidelines and Templates. After the paper submission has been successfully completed, authors will receive an automatic confirmation e-mail. PUBLICATIONS All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support. SCITEPRESS is a member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/) and every paper is given a DOI (Digital Object Identifier). All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library. It is planned to publish a short list of revised and extended versions of presented papers with Springer in a LNAI Series book (final approval pending) . The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP, EI (Elsevier Index) and Scopus.
