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

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-IAT13 will have various
workshops, WI-IAT technical sessions, tutorials and panels. WI-IAT13 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-IAT13.

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-IAT13.

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
