topics of interest

Topics of Interest:

Agents theory and MAS related to Machine Learning or Cognitive Modelling  •  Advantages, limitations, and challenges of Generative AI with respect to Cognitive-based approaches for Agents and MAS  •  How do Generative AI technologies affect trust and autonomy?  •  Data mining: information extraction, concept representation, and inherent meaning in Agent-based architectures  •  Social impact of these different technologies: how will they affect the way we relate, interact, and think?

Moreover, the following topics are also more than welcome:

Adaptive, animated, and personality-driven agents  •  Agent-oriented software engineering  •  Agent-based languages and platforms  •  Agent-oriented methods and development tools  •  Agents and objects  •  Agents and sensor networks  •  Agent-based modelling and simulation  •  Coordination, cooperation and communication for agents  •  Formal models for agents and MAS  •  Hardware and software infrastructures for agents and multi-agent systems  •  Industrial applications of agents and MAS  •  Learning, planning and reasoning for agents  •  Security, trust and responsibility in MAS  •  Software agents and the Web  •  Standards and interoperability for agents and MAS  •  Theoretical, conceptual and ontological basis of agents and MAS

along with any other MAS-related topic.
