IAT'14 is a part of the 2014 Web Intelligence Congress (WIC 2014).

The series of Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT) conferences was
started in Japan in 2001. Since then, IAT has been held yearly
in several countries, including: Canada, China, France, USA,
Australia and Italy. IAT series of conferences is recognized as
one of the most important events related to Multi-Agent Systems
with an emphasis on their connections to Information Technology.

*** About WIC 2014 ***

The 2014 Web Intelligence Congress (WIC 2014) is a Special Event
of Web25 (25 years of the Web). It includes four top-quality
international conferences related to intelligent informatics:

- IEEE/WIC/ACM Web Intelligence 2014 (WI'14)
- IEEE/WIC/ACM Intelligent Agent Technology 2014 (IAT'14)
- Active Media Technology 2014 (AMT'14)
- Brain Informatics & Heath 2014 (BIH'14)

They are co-located in order to bring together researchers and
practitioners from diverse fields with the purpose of exploring
the fundamental roles, interactions and practical impacts of
Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Information Technology.

*** About the Venue ***

The conference will be held in August - the best Summer period
to visit Warsaw and Poland. Lectures will take place in Central
Campus of the University of Warsaw, in the Old Library building
converted to a modern conference center. The campus is located
in downtown Warsaw, close to the Old Town and Vistula River.
