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.</span><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"-webkit-standard",serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:5.0pt;margin-right:26.0pt;margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:26.0pt;text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;background:white;caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-variant-caps: normal;orphans: auto;widows: auto;-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"-webkit-standard",serif;color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><h3 style='mso-margin-top-alt:5.0pt;margin-right:26.0pt;margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:26.0pt;background:white;caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-variant-caps: normal;orphans: auto;text-align:start;widows: auto;-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#272727'>Topics of Interest</span><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></h3><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:5.0pt;margin-right:26.0pt;margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:26.0pt;text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;background:white;caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-variant-caps: normal;orphans: auto;widows: auto;-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#454545'>The conference solicits papers addressing original research on distributed Artificial Intelligence.
