[agents] "eXtended Reality & Intelligent Agents", XRIA25 at ECAI25: extended DL **** July 20th *** + *** dissemination track ***

[Viviana Mascardi]

Dear colleagues,

please note the extension of the XRIA deadline to July 20th, due to 
requests and conflicts with other conference deadlines. This shift will 
also allow authors of papers in the XRIA scope that should unfortunately 
be rejected at ECAI, to redirect them to XRIA.

We also advertise a dissemination track, for papers already published 
elsewhere.

We are looking for your papers!

                Second Workshop on "eXtended Reality & Intelligent Agents"

                                         XRIA25 at ECAI25

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


Dear colleagues, after the successful XRIA2024 edition in Santiago de 
Compostela, we are again very happy to organize the XRIA workshop! XRIA 
aims to bring together researchers, engineers, and practitioners 
interested in exploring the role of intelligent agents in eXtended 
Reality (XR, that is, virtual, augmented, and mixed reality), and vice 
versa, embracing a multidisciplinary perspective.
The workshop will be co-located with ECAI 2025, that will take place in 
the beautiful Bologna, Italy.

XRIA web site: https://sites.google.com/view/xria2025/home-page

Important dates:
Submission deadline: July 20th 2025
Notification: July 30th 2025
Workshop: either 25th or 26th of October, 2025

Topics of interest:
The workshop welcomes papers that propose architectures, methodologies, 
and tools for integrating intelligent agents and XR systems, as well as 
already developed case studies and technologies, and more visionary 
proposals.
Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
-- Integration of Agents and Multiagent systems and techniques into XR 
systems
    Cognitive Agents for XR Avatars
    Interaction between agents and humans through virtual worlds
    Pedestrian and Crowd simulations in XR systems
    Autonomous and intelligent XR avatars
    Ambient Intelligent systems and XR
    Methodologies, platforms, tools and libraries for integrating MASs 
into XR platforms
-- XR for agents and MAS
    Exploiting virtual worlds as MAS environments
    Perception, locomotion and navigation of agents into XR environments
    Filling the gap between humans and virtual agents thanks to XR
    Exploiting XR simulation for Human & MAS experiments
    Exploiting XR simulation for Human & Robots experiments
    Methodologies, platforms, tools and libraries for integrating XR 
into MASs
-- More general aspects
    Conversational agents and XR
    Learning agents/avatars in the XR
    Ethical concerns with Virtual Agents
    Software Engineering aspects (testing, V&V) related to the 
integration of MAS and XR systems
    Any topic related to the integration/exploitation of MAS and XR


Submission instructions:
XRIA welcomes five types of submissions: research papers, perspective 
papers, reviews, case studies, and ***dissemination papers*** already 
published elsewhere.
We plan to not have formal proceedings but to publish accepted papers, 
or links to their official published version, on the workshop website. 
Selected accepted papers that have not been already published in 
journals will be invited to submit an extension of the workshop paper to 
a Special Issue which will follow a standard review process.

In this line, the workshop will accept both short and long papers, as 
long as they provide enough information for the review process. The 
manuscript should use the ECAI LaTeX template: the expected number of 
pages is between 4 and 8 + references.

***Dissemination papers have no space constraints and may be submitted 
in the original format, by prepending "Dissemination Track" to their 
title***

Papers can be submitted in PDF format via EasyChair:
