The 3 rd International Workshop on EXplainable and TRAnsparent AI and Multi-Agent Systems (EXTRAAMAS 2021) 

https://extraamas.ehealth.hevs.ch/ 

held in conjunction with: 

20 th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems May 17-21, 2021 London, UK

Aim and Scope 

============ 

The workshop aims to gather researchers interested in developing explainable approaches to artificial intelligence, in particular to explainable agency, learning, reasoning, and their intersections. Participants are invited to submit papers addressing whichever phase of explainability (e.g., generation, communication, and reception) fostering transparency in autonomous agents and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), robots, and other intelligent systems. Compliance with such requirements is becoming necessary in most systems where agent-oriented approaches are increasingly employed.

All accepted papers can be published in the Springer post-proceedings Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI). Participants are therefore invited to submit papers up to 16 pages in length (5 pages incl. references for demo papers), addressing the topics of the workshop. Papers must be edited using the LNCS format (applying the LNCS post-proceedings template) and have to be submitted electronically as PDF files via the EasyChair submission page. 



Special Issue: 

=========== 

Selected accepted papers that present relevant formal results will be invited to a special issue in the Journal of Applied Logics - IfCoLoG Journal of Logics and their Applications (ISSN (E): 055-3714, ISSN (P): 2055-3706).
