CALL FOR PARTICIPATION AITA08
Architectures for Intelligent Theory-Based Agents March 26-28 2008, Stanford University, California, USA.
We invite you to attend AITA08, the International Symposium on Architectures for Intelligent Theory-Based Agents, to be held as part of the AAAI Spring Symposium Series, March 26-28 2008, at Stanford University, California, USA.
The focus of this symposium is the definition of architectures for intelligent theory-based agents. These architectures typically comprise languages, knowledge representation methodologies, reasoning algorithms, and control loops.
The motivation of the symposium is the consideration that a number of reasonably rigorous architectures have been designed, but not implemented, that allow one to prove important properties about the agents and their behavior, while other reasonably rigorous architectures have been implemented without attendant proofs about their agents.
Unfortunately, there has not yet been much interaction among the groups working on these two classes of architectures. The lack of communication contributes to slowing the development of an otherwise interesting and potentially very important area.
We intend to provide a forum to bring together researchers from these two groups, promote interaction, and stimulate the investigation of the relationships among the different approaches.
Key topics covered during the symposium are descriptions of specific architectures, comparisons of architectures, surveys of the state-of-the-art. The discussion will include overviews of languages, knowledge representation methodologies, reasoning algorithms, and control loops used in the architectures considered.
