<p>=== Topics of Interest === </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>The AIxIA 2022 edition is the 21st year of an event born
inside the Italian AI association, but rapidly grown up to an
international dimension, attracting scholars from all over the
world. This edition of AIxIA will be held in Udine in a mixed
in-presence and online mode, thus making it easier to attend
and present papers from any part of the globe. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Based on a plural point of view, the main conference covers
the wide spectrum of topics that characterize modern
Artificial Intelligence, while a number of specific topics are
also covered by dedicated thematic workshops. Workshops will
be announced later on and we foresee a significant
participation by the research communities, in the vein of the
success of the previous AIxIA editions. </p>
<p> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>The main track of the AIxIA 2022 conference welcomes
submissions covering all areas of AI, including (but not
limited to) <br>
- machine learning, <br>
- search and planning, <br>
- knowledge representation and reasoning, <br>
- constraint satisfaction and optimization, <br>
- natural language processing, <br>
- argumentation, <br>
- robotics and perception, <br>
- autonomous agents and multiagent systems, <br>
- ethical and cultural issues in AI. </p>
<p> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>We encourage all types of high-quality contributions
including theoretical, engineering, and applied papers. We
also encourage contributions to AI techniques in the context
of established and novel application domains, such as
(cyber)security, sustainability, ageing, health care, cultural
heritage, manufacturing, transportation, and commerce. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Finally, papers describing AI approaches and applications
targeting societal challenges, including, for example,
solutions for the mitigation and management of public health
crises, as well as hot topics within the community, such as
the assessment and mitigation of different kinds of biases,
and in general ethical issues in AI, are particularly
welcome. </p>
<p> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Besides regular papers presenting results not already
published we also welcome short "discussion papers" (maximum
eight pages) containing - descriptions of results
recently published or accepted for the presentation in
première international conferences and journals related to AI
field; - position papers discussing potentially
controversial topics in AI or personal points of views about
specific topics in AI. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>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 AIxIA 2022 and
potential collaborations thereof. </p>
<p> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>At least one author of each accepted paper is required to
register and attend the conference to present the work. </p>
<p> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>=== Proceedings of Regular Papers === </p>

<div>
<p>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 (LNAI) series. </p>
<p> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>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. </p>
