ALAW - 2nd International Workshop on Agents Living in Augmented Worlds

Workshop held at FAIM, the Federated Artificial Intelligence Meeting (joint IJCAI-ECAI/AAMAS/ICML conferences)

Stockholm, Sweden, 14-15th July 2018

Brief Description

The objective of the workshop is to be an interdisciplinary forum where to discuss agent-based "augmented worlds", from their conceptual and theoretical foundations, to their design and engineering, as well as their applications to specific domains. 

In particular, it aims at exploring:

• the fruitful integration of intelligent agent/multi-agent -based models, theories and technologies within the context of augmented/mixed reality systems and augmented human systems;
   
• the impact that these augmented worlds can have on making individual and collective human/agent actions more effective, on enhancing human/agent reasoning capability, imagination, learning, sociality, and so on. On how activities and processes can be (re-)shaped. On how the physical environment where these augmented worlds are instantiated can be (re-)shaped, accordingly;

• agent-based augment worlds as a lab where to explore novel forms of human augmentation - besides reality augmentation - along different dimensions, such as cognition and sociality.

Topics of Interest

The partial list of coarse-grained topics of interest for the workshop includes:

• models and theories of agency and MAS living in/shaping augmented worlds
• methodologies for designing agent systems living in/shaping augmented worlds
• interaction, coordination, cooperation models inside augmented worlds
• agent-based platforms and technologies for developing augmented worlds
• human augmentation by means of agents and multi-agent systems in augmented worlds
• real-world applications designed as agent-based augmented worlds
• ...
