Event Announcement and Call for Papers
==========================================
After the first successful 26 editions held in Trento, Parma, Modena,
Milano,
Villasimius, Torino, Camerino, Catania, Genova, Palermo, Parma, Rimini,
Rende, Milano, Torino, Catania, Napoli, Catania, Scilla, Palermo, Parma,
Bologna (online), Bologna, Genova, Roma, and Bard, the 27th edition
of the Workshop “From Objects to Agents” (WOA) will be hosted by the
University of Salerno from June 15 to 17, 2026, in the city center of
Salerno (SA), at the Fondazione CARISAL.
The topic of this year’s edition is:
"New Challenges on Trustworthy Autonomous Agents and Cognitive Systems"
Autonomous agents are increasingly shaping decision-making by acting
independently,
learning from experience, and interacting with humans and other agents in
complex,
dynamic environments. They are applied in domains such as healthcare,
finance,
robotics, and smart systems to perform tasks with minimal human supervision.
Advances in AI, including cognitive computation, generative AI, and large
language models,
enable agents to adapt efficiently to uncertain situations. As these
systems become more capable,
trust, transparency, explainability, and situation awareness are critical
to ensure that agents
operate reliably, ethically, and in alignment with human expectations.
WOA 2026 invites contributions from researchers and practitioners exploring
the integration of
trustworthy AI, cognitive computation, and human-centered intelligence in
autonomous agents,
with the aim of defining emerging challenges, proposing solutions, and
shaping the next generation
of intelligent and trustworthy systems.
The workshop program will also feature **invited keynote talks by leading
international researchers**
in the field of autonomous agents and trustworthy AI, as well as a
**Mini-School (June 17, 2026)**
dedicated to students and early-stage researchers.
