#######################################################################

IAT 2013 provides a leading international forum to bring together researchers 
and practitioners from diverse fields that include: computer science, 
information technology, business, education, systems engineering and robotics. 
IAT 2013 will be jointly held with the 2013 IEEE/WIC/ACM International 
Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2013). WI-IAT’13 will have various 
workshops, WI-IAT technical sessions, tutorials and panels. WI-IAT’13 will 
have keynotes, a social reception together with the poster session and 
industry demo, and a banquet. Attendees only need to register once to 
attend all technical events at WI-IAT’13.

Furthermore, WI-IAT 2013 will include workshops providing in-depth background 
on subjects that are of broad interest to Web intelligence and Intelligent 
Agent Technology communities. The workshop programs will focus on new research 
challenges, initiatives and applications. IAT 2013 is an excellent opportunity 
for researchers who wish to examine design principles and performance 
characteristics of various approaches in intelligent agent technology, 
and increase the cross-fertilization of ideas on the development of autonomous 
agents and multi- agent systems among different domains. By encouraging 
idea-sharing and discussions on the underlying logical, cognitive, physical, 
and sociological foundations as well as the enabling technologies of 
intelligent agents, IAT 2013 will foster the development of novel paradigms 
and advanced solutions in agent and multi-agent based computing.
Extended versions of excellent papers will have future opportunities to
be published in special issues at high quality IEEE, ACM journals.

Dr. John E. Hopcroft from Cornell University, who won A. M. Turing Award 
in 1986, will give a keynote speech at WI-IAT’13.

IAT 2013 topics and areas include, but not limited to: 

-Autonomy-Oriented Computing (AOC) 
-Agent and Multi-Agent Systems Modeling 
-Agent and Multi-Agent Systems Engineering 
-Autonomous Knowledge and Information Agents 
-Autonomous Auctions and Negotiation 
-Distributed Problem Solving 
-Coordination 
-Applications
