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

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:

The conference solicits papers addressing original research on
distributed Artificial Intelligence. Topics of interest include (but

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
