26th Workshop “From Objects to Agents”
Trento, Italy, 02/07/2025–04/07/2025
After the first successful 25 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, Genova, Roma, and Bard, the 26th edition of the Workshop “From Objects to Agents” (WOA) will be hosted by the University of Trento from July 2 to 4, 2025, in the city of Trento (TN).
The topic of this year edition will be:
New challenges on autonomous Agents and Decision-Making
Autonomous agents are changing the way decisions are made by acting on their own and learning from experience. They are used in areas like finance, healthcare, and robotics to handle tasks without constant human input. In some cases, multiple agents work together or compete to solve problems more efficiently. With AI and large language models, they are getting better to adapt to new situations. However, it’s important to keep a balance between efficiency and human oversight. While they offer many benefits, they also raise new challenges that we would like to define and address.
WOA 2025 will bring together researchers in the intersection of Multi-Agent Systems, Human-Agent Interaction, Decision Making to discuss these issues and to suggest solutions and future research questions that could help to shape the autonomous agents of the future.
