along with
ICAS 2017, May 21 - 25, 2017 - Barcelona, Spain
The Thirteenth International Conference on Autonomic and Autonomous Systems
http://www.iaria.org/conferences2017/ICAS17.html


The purpose of the DEMAS, Deliberative Multi-Agent Systems, special 
track is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners 
interested in the theory and applications in the areas of Agents and 
Multi-Agent Systems based on deliberative architectures. The track 
focuses mainly on Artificial Intelligence, Knowledge Representation, 
Planning, Learning, Scheduling, Perception and other topics related to 
Agents and Multi-Agent Systems based on deliberative architectures.
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. This special track intends to 
emphasize the connection between theoretical issues on deliberative 
multi agent systems and their connection with systems automation, 
methodologies and techniques
for designing, implementing and deploying autonomous systems.

In this special track, the objective of contributions is to discuss the 
following topics related to the design, implementation and deploying of 
autonomous 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
- Truth
- Emotions
- Belief Change
- Ontologies and Semantic Web
- Group Decision Making
