Call for papers:

First International Conference on Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI’19)

************************************************

Conference Venue:      Beijing, China

Conference Date:       October 13-15, 2019

Conference Website:     http://www.adai.ai/

Submission Website:     https://openreview.net/group?id=adai.ai/DAI/2019/Conference

Scope:

Lately, there has been tremendous growth for artificial intelligence and for multiagent systems research in particular. Problems arise where decisions are no longer made by a center but by autonomous and distributed agents. Such decision problems have been recognized as a central research agenda in AI and a fundamental problem in multiagent research. Resolving these problems requires that different scientific communities interact with each other, calling for collaborations and raising further important interdisciplinary questions.

Under this context, the aim of the Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) is bringing together researchers and practitioners in related areas (general AI, multi-agent systems, distributed learning, economics and computation, reinforcement learning, etc) to provide a single, high-profile, internationally renowned forum for research in the theory and practice of distributed AI.  The first conference will be located in Beijing China in October 2019. To maintain the high quality of the conference, the organization committee will invite high quality tutorials and invite accepted papers at sister conferences (e.g., AAMAS, AAAI, IJCAI, EC, KDD, ICML, NeurIPS) to present at the conference. We will also invite high quality talks from leading industrial researchers.

-        Author Notification: 30th of July 2019 (23:59 UTC-12)

Submission:

All submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed on the basis of the overall quality of their technical contribution, including criteria such as originality, soundness, relevance, significance, quality of presentation, and understanding of the state of the art. Authors are asked to submit their paper to:

https://openreview.net/group?id=adai.ai/DAI/2019/Conference

The paper length is limited to 6 pages, with 1 additional page containing only bibliographic references. Authors may use as many pages of appendices (after the bibliography) as they wish, but reviewers are not required to read these.

The DAI 2019 review process is double blind. Please make sure that the submission does not disclose the author's identities or affiliation.

Please include any supplementary material after the main paper in the same PDF. Please note that the reviewers are not required to read this extra material when assessing the paper.

All work must be original, i.e., it must not have appeared in a conference proceedings, book, or journal and may not be under review for another archival conference. At least one of the authors of each paper is required to register, attend, and present the paper at the conference.

To prepare your submission to DAI 2019, please use the LaTeX style files provided at: http://www.adai.ai/call-for-papers.html

For further details about DAI 2019, please visit the website at www.adai.ai

Any questions about submission should be directed to the program chairs, Pingzhong Tang (Tsinghua University, kenshin at tsinghua.edu.cn) and John Dickerson (University of Maryland, john at cs.umd.edu).
