********************************************************************************
*AI*IA 2020*
The 19th International Conference of
the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence
University of Milano-Bicocca, November 24-27, 2020, Milan, Italy

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Topics of Interest*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The conference covers broadly the many aspects of theoretical and applied
Artificial Intelligence. A series of workshops dedicated to specific topics
enhances the program. AIIA 2020 welcomes submissions covering all areas of
AI,
including (but not limited to) machine learning, search, planning, knowledge
representation, reasoning, constraint satisfaction, natural language
processing,
robotics and perception, and multiagent systems. We encourage all types of
high-quality contributions including theoretical, engineering and applied
papers. We also encourage contributions on AI techniques in the context of
novel
application domains, such as security, sustainability, health care,
transportation, and commerce.

Besides regular papers presenting results that have not been published in
previous publications, we also welcome short discussion papers (maximum
eight
pages) containing descriptions of results recently published or accepted
for the
presentation in international conferences or position papers on potentially
controversial topics in AI. Discussion papers are introduced as an
opportunity
for the authors to present their recent results to the AI community and to
stimulate debate among attendees of AIIA 2020. Discussion papers containing
descriptions of recently published results must be more broadly accessible
than
regular papers and focus on the explanation of the contribution and the
discussion of key findings and their impact. Discussion papers addressing a
position and/or a debate over a topic must provide a solid argumentative
structure.

At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and
attend
the conference to present the work.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Proceedings of Regular Papers*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The accepted regular papers will be included in the proceedings of the
conference, and will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in
Artificial Intelligence series. Authors of selected regular papers accepted
to
the main track will be invited to submit an extended version for
publication on
"Intelligenza Artificiale", the International Journal of the Italian
Association
for Artificial Intelligence, edited by IOS Press and indexed by Thomson
Reuters'
"Emerging Sources Citation Index" and Scopus by Elsevier.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Proceedings of Discussion Papers *
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The discussion papers will not be included in the LNCS proceedings of the
conference, and will be published on CEUR WS Proceedings upon request.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Best Papers*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Program Committee will select the Best Student Paper Award and the Best
Paper Award from the accepted regular papers. In order to be eligible for
the
Best Student Paper award, at least one author must be a student.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Submission Instructions*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The submitted papers should be written in English and formatted according
to the
Springer LNCS style. Regular papers must be original papers which are not
being
submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. These papers should not
exceed 12 pages plus bibliography.

Discussion papers report results already published or accepted for the
publication in international conferences, and should not exceed 8 pages plus
bibliography.

Paper submission is electronic via Easychair at the address:
