Readers will be provided with an overview of the challenges brought by the interactions of artificially intelligent entities with other entities and their environment, and architecture level views on practical solutions to these challenges. In terms of the forms of AI, we look into machine learning used collaboratively in a network of agents, software agents using machine learning models, software agents working on the web and in socio-technical systems, and physical embodiment of AI. In terms of interaction, we look into interaction between agents in local networks, across the web, or with and within physical environments. While these interaction settings are very different, some challenges remain the same in the context of interactions – discoverability, availability, communication languages and protocols, and efficiency in transferring significant amounts of information.</div><br><div>The important dates are</div><ul><li>Extended abstract submission: <strong>November 29, 2024</strong></li><li>Abstract selection notification: December 15, 2024 (tentative)</li><li>Complete chapter submission: <strong>March 15, 2025</strong><br></li></ul><div>We are eagerly waiting for your abstracts!</div><br><div>Please feel free to disseminate this call to other colleagues and groups.</div><br><div>Best regards,</div><br><div>On behalf of the editors of DAI in the Modern World,</div><div>Andrei Olaru, Luis Gustavo Nardin, Alexandru Sorici, Adina Magda Florea</div></div></div></div></body></html>
