*Call for papers:*

*First International Conference on Distributed Artificial Intelligence
(DAI’19)*

************************************************



Conference Venue:        Beijing, China

Conference Date:          October 13-15, 2019

Conference Website:     http://www.adai.ai/

Submission Website:

*Scope:*

Lately, there has been tremendous growth for artificial intelligence and
for multiagent systems research in particular. Problems arise where
decisions are no longer made by a center but by autonomous and distributed
agents. Such decision problems have been recognized as a central research
agenda in AI and a fundamental problem in multiagent research. Resolving
these problems requires that different scientific communities interact with
each other, calling for collaborations and raising further important
interdisciplinary questions.



Under this context, the aim of the Distributed Artificial Intelligence
(DAI) is bringing together researchers and practitioners in related areas
(general AI, multi-agent systems, distributed learning, economics and
computation, reinforcement learning, etc) to provide a single,
high-profile, internationally renowned forum for research in the theory and
practice of distributed AI.  The first conference will be located in
Beijing China in October 2019. To maintain the high quality of the
conference, the organization committee will invite high quality tutorials
and invite accepted papers at sister conferences (e.g., AAMAS, AAAI, IJCAI,
EC, KDD, ICML, NeurIPS) to present at the conference. We will also invite
high quality talks from leading industrial researchers.



*Topics of interest:*

*Important dates:*

-      Abstract Submission: 30th of May 2019 (23:59 UTC-12)

-      *Full Paper Submission: 4th of June 2019 (23:59 UTC-12)*

-      Rebuttal Phase: 18th-20th of July 2019 (23:59 UTC-12)

-      Author Notification: 30th of July 2019 (23:59 UTC-12)



*Submission:*

All submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed on the basis of the
overall quality of their technical contribution, including criteria such as
originality, soundness, relevance, significance, quality of presentation,
and understanding of the state of the art. Authors are asked to submit
their paper to:



https://openreview.net/group?id=adai.ai/DAI/2019/Conference



The paper length is limited to 6 pages, with 1 additional page containing
only bibliographic references. Authors may use as many pages of appendices
(after the bibliography) as they wish, but reviewers are not required to
read these.



The DAI 2019 review process is double blind. Please make sure that the
submission does not disclose the author's identities or affiliation.



Please include any supplementary material after the main paper in the same
PDF. Please note that the reviewers are not required to read this extra
material when assessing the paper.



All work must be original, i.e., it must not have appeared in a conference
proceedings, book, or journal and may not be under review for another
archival conference. At least one of the authors of each paper is required
to register, attend, and present the paper at the conference.



To prepare your submission to DAI 2019, please use the LaTeX style files
provided at: http://www.adai.ai/call-for-papers.html



For further details about DAI 2019, please visit the website at www.adai.ai



Any questions about submission should be directed to the program chairs,
Pingzhong Tang (Tsinghua University, kenshin at tsinghua.edu.cn) and John
Dickerson (University of Maryland, john at cs.umd.edu).
