Overview
The aim of the Distributed AI (DAI) seeks to bring together researchers and
practitioners in related areas (e.g., general AI, multi-agent systems,
distributed learning, computational game theory) to provide a high-profile,
internationally renowned forum for research in the theory and practice of
distributed AI. The 3rd DAI conference will be located in Shanghai, China
and have a hybrid format to allow virtual and in-person participation.
Except for regular paper submissions, we will also invite some accepted
papers from sister conferences (e.g., AAMAS, AAAI, IJCAI, EC, KDD, ICLR,
ICML, NeurIPS) to present at the conference. Beside the accepted paper
sessions, we will also have high quality workshops, tutorials, and industry
sessions.

Topics of Interest
The conference solicits papers addressing original research on distributed
Artificial Intelligence. Topics of interest include (but are not limited
to) the following:
Agent Cooperation:
-Biologically-inspired approaches and methods
-Collective intelligence
-Distributed problem solving
-Teamwork, team formation, teamwork analysis
-Coalition formation (non-strategic)
-Multi-robot systems
-Federated learning
-Distributed learning systems
Humans and Agents:
-Human-robot/agent interaction
-Multi-user/multi-virtual-agent interaction
-Agents competing against humans
-Agent-based analysis of human interactions
-Agents for improving human cooperative activities
Single/Multi-agent Learning:
-Reward structures for learning
-Multi-agent learning
-Reinforcement learning
-Deep learning
-Adversarial machine learning
Computational Game Theory:
-Complexity of algorithms for games
-Practical algorithms for games
-Behavioral models of games
-Security games
Economics and Computation:
-Auctions and mechanism design
-Market design and applications
-Social choice theory
-Game theory for practical applications
-Economics of blockchain systems

Submission Guidelines
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. Any supplementary material should be included after the main
paper in the same PDF file. Please note that the reviewers are not required
to read this extra material when assessing the paper. The DAI 2021 review
process is DOUBLE BLIND. Please make sure that the submission does not
disclose the authors' identities or affiliations.

To prepare your submission to DAI 2021, please use the LaTeX style files
provided at:  http://www.adai.ai/dai/2021/paper/llncs2e.zip

All work must be original, i.e., it must not have appeared in 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 (virtually or in-person) the paper at the
conference.

Publication
Accepted papers will appear in LNCS proceedings and will be widely indexed.

Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their
proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of
their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their
papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on
behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a
Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright
form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the
files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the
papers cannot be made.
