Submission deadline | June 25, 2022 |
After the first successful 22 editions in Parma, Modena, Milano, Villasimius, Torino, Camerino, Catania, Genova, Palermo, Parma, Rimini, Rende, Milano, Torino, Catania, Napoli, Catania, Scilla, Palermo, Parma, Bologna (online) and Bologna, the 23rd edition of the Workshop “From Objects to Agents” (WOA) will be hosted by the University of Genova from September 1 to 3, 2022, in the beautiful location of Casa Paganini - InfoMus, in the recently restored monumental building of S.Maria delle Grazie La Nuova.
Following the significant interest that all facets of Artificial Intelligence (AI) have been recently obtaining, the topic for WOA 2022 is
Emotional and Believable Human-Agent Interaction
WOA 2022 will bring together researchers to discuss those issues and to suggest future research questions and perspectives laying at the intersection among Emotional and Believable agents and MAS, and Human-Agent Interaction. Therefore, the workshop aims at working as an interdisciplinary hub for thinkers, students, researchers, and developers who wish to understand and exploit the impact and potential of agent- and MAS-based techniques, when combined with Human-Agent Interactions.
Submission Guidelines
Contributions (max 16 pages excluding references) should follow the CEURART paper style https://it.overleaf.com/latex/templates/template-for-submissions-to-ceur-workshop-proceedings-ceur-ws-dot-org/pkfscdkgkhcq
Papers can be submitted in PDF format via EasyChair https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=woa22
List of Topics
- Agents theory and technology related to AI or Believable Human-Agent Interaction
- Software engineering techniques for agents involving Believable Human-Agent Interaction
- Languages and tools for agent-oriented and Believable Human-Agent Interaction intelligent systems
- Agent-oriented architectures for Believable Human-Agent Interaction
- eXplainable and ethical AI in agent-oriented models, architectures, or systems to support Believable Human-Agent Interaction
- Trust, security, and privacy in the design and development of agents capable of a Believable Human-Agent Interaction
Moreover, the following topics are also more than welcome:
- Adaptive, animated, and personality-driven agents
