The goal of the workshop is to provide researchers with a venue to discuss models or techniques for tackling a variety of multi-agent optimization problems. We seek contributions in the general area of multi-agent optimization, including distributed optimization, coalition formation, optimization under uncertainty, winner determination algorithms in auctions and procurements, and algorithms to compute Nash and other equilibria in games. Of particular emphasis are contributions at the intersection of optimization and learning. See below for a (non-exhaustive) list of topics. This workshop invites works from different strands of the multi-agent systems community that pertain to the design of algorithms, models, and techniques to deal with multi-agent optimization and learning problems or problems that can be effectively solved by adopting a multi-agent framework. Topics The workshop organizers invite paper submissions on the following (and related) topics: - Optimization for learning (strategic and non-strategic) agents - Learning for multi-agent optimization problems - Distributed constraint satisfaction and optimization - Winner determination algorithms in auctions and procurements - Coalition or group formation algorithms - Algorithms to compute Nash and other equilibria in games - Optimization under uncertainty - Optimization with incomplete or dynamic input data - Algorithms for real-time applications - Cloud, distributed and grid computing - Applications of learning and optimization in societally beneficial domains - Multi-agent planning - Multi-robot coordination The workshop is of interest both to researchers investigating applications of multi-agent systems to optimization problems in large, complex domains, as well as to those examining optimization and learning problems that arise in systems comprised of many autonomous agents. In so doing, this workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers to discuss common issues that arise in solving optimization and learning problems in different areas, to introduce new application domains for multi-agent optimization techniques, and to elaborate common benchmarks to test solutions. Finally, the workshop will welcome papers that describe the release of benchmarks and data sets that can be used by the community to solve fundamental problems of interest, including in machine learning and optimization for health systems and urban networks, to mention but a few examples.

The eScience conference has a long history of hosting well-attended workshops broadly related to eScience and co-located with the main conference. These workshops share the goal of bringing together international and interdisciplinary research communities, developers, and users of eScience applications and enabling IT technologies. Workshops play a crucial role in the conference by providing an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present their work in a more focused way than the conference itself and to have in-depth discussions of particular topics of interest to the community. Workshops may be focused on any eScience-related topic including, but not limited to interdisciplinary and translational research, continuum computing infrastructures, data science, sustainability, and education. eScience 2023 invites authors of workshop proposals to consider a diverse group of organizers, paper reviewers, and keynote speakers in terms of race/ethnicity, gender, and geographic areas. eScience 2023 accepts two types of workshop proposals: (1) workshops with peer-reviewed papers and proceedings, and (2) workshops or mini-symposia with invited talks and no proceedings. Workshops with peer-reviewed papers and proceedings The proceedings of workshops with peer-reviewed papers will be included in the eScience 2023 proceedings to be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, USA and made available online through the IEEE Digital Library, if the following criteria are followed: • The solicitation for papers must be open. • All the papers must be peer-reviewed by a qualified Program Committee. • The workshops Program Committee must have an appropriate size for the expected number of submissions. • The workshop proceedings must have at least 4 papers at a length of at least 6 pages and no longer than 10 pages (including figure, tables, and citations) in the IEEE conference format. • For each paper selected for publication, at least one of the authors must be registered to eScience 2023 to present the paper in person. Workshop organizers are responsible for establishing a Program Committee and a paper submission system, collecting and evaluating submissions, notifying authors of acceptance or rejection in due time, ensuring a transparent and fair selection process, organizing selected papers into sessions, and assigning session chairs. Proposals showing clear focus and objectives in areas of emerging or developing interest will be prioritized. Workshop proposals should be submitted via email to workshops at escience-conference.org and not exceed 5 pages in length. Proposals should include the following information: • Workshop name and acronym. • Workshop description, including its focus and goals (max. 500 words). • Names and affiliations of the organizers and tentative composition of the committee (we invite the authors of the proposal to consider a diverse group of organizers and committee members in terms of e.g., race, ethnicity, gender, geographic areas, etc.). • Expected number of submissions/accepted papers. • Prior history of this workshop, if any. Workshops or mini-symposia with invited talks and no proceedings Workshop organizers are responsible for inviting the speakers, establishing a program in due time, organizing the selected talks into sessions, and assigning session chairs.

Aravanis) Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2023 09:58:05 +0200 Subject: [fg-arc] 20th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, KR 2023: Call for Papers Message-ID: <70c7ea985a727659e9d1e851fa2ad6b6@upatras.gr> _* Please note that the deadline for title and abstract submission for KR 2023 appearing in WikiCFP website is incorrect! The correct deadline for title and abstract submission is March 3, 2023. *_ 20th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, KR 2023 September 2 - September 8, 2023, Rhodes, Greece First Call for Papers Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR) is a well-established and lively field of research within Artificial Intelligence. KR builds on the fundamental thesis that knowledge can be represented in an explicit declarative form, suitable for processing by dedicated symbolic reasoning engines. This enables the exploitation of knowledge that would otherwise be implicit through semantically grounded inference mechanisms. Consequently, KR has contributed to the theory and practice of various areas in AI, including agents, automated planning and natural language processing, and to fields beyond AI, including data management, semantic web, verification, software engineering, robotics, computational biology, and cyber security. The KR conference series is the leading forum for timely in-depth presentation of progress in the theory and principles underlying the representation and computational management of knowledge. KR 2023 will consist of a number of tracks and events: the Main Track, the Applications & Systems Track, the special session on KR & ML, the special session on KR, Robotics & Planning, the Recently Published Research (RPR) Track, the Tutorials & Workshops, the Doctoral Consortium, and the Diversity and Inclusion Session. Details about all these events will be made available later (possibly in separate calls). Contributions to the Main Track, the Applications & Systems Track, the special session on KR & ML, and the special session on KR, Robotics & Planning will take the form of papers that will be published in the proceedings of KR 2023. We solicit papers presenting novel results on the principles of KR that clearly contribute to the formal foundations of relevant problems or show the applicability of results to implemented or implementable systems. We also welcome papers from other areas that show clear use of, or contributions to, the principles or practice of KR. We also encourage "reports from the field" of applications, experiments, developments, and tests. Further details about the submission guidelines and the selection criteria to be considered for the Applications & Systems Track, the special session on KR & ML, and the special session on KR, Robotics & Planning will be given later (possibly in separate calls). Submission Guidelines The Main Track, the Applications & Systems Track, as well as the special session on KR & ML and the special session on KR, Robotics & Planning will allow contributions of both regular papers (up to 9 pages) and short papers (up to 4 pages), including abstract, figures, and appendices (if any) but excluding references and acknowledgements, prepared and submitted according to the authors guidelines provided in the submission page. Both full and short papers must describe original, previously unpublished research, and must not simultaneously be submitted for publication elsewhere. These restrictions do not apply to previously accepted workshop papers with a limited audience and/or without archival proceedings, or to papers uploaded at public repositories (e.g., arXiv). Papers must be written in English and formatted using the style files provided in the submission page. Submissions are not anonymous (i.e., reviewing will be single-blind) and must be submitted in PDF format, through the EasyChair conference system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kr2023 The paper title, author names, contact details, and a brief abstract must be submitted electronically through the EasyChair conference system by the abstract submission deadline. It will be possible to make minor edits to the title and abstract until the full paper submission deadline. Submissions with "placeholder" abstracts will be removed without consideration. Full papers must be submitted through the same site by the paper submission deadline. The list of author names provided at submission time is final. Authors may not be added to, or removed from, papers following submission. Authors may optionally submit a separate PDF containing additional information that substantiates the claims made in their paper, such as proof details, additional experimental results, further details on experimental design, etc. If authors wish to make such material available to reviewers, they should do so by submitting a file through EasyChair, rather than by including links or references in their paper. The main paper must be self contained, as the supplementary material will not be published. Reviewers will have the option, but not the obligation, to consult the supplementary material. Selection Process The program committee consists of PC members (reviewers) and Area Chairs (ACs), who overview the reviewing and meta-reviewing process. Selection criteria include the novelty and originality of ideas, correctness, clarity, significance of results, potential impact and quality of the presentation. Papers violating the format (e.g., by decreasing margins or font sizes) or describing contributions that do not significantly meet the topics of the conference will be desk rejected by the program chairs, without any opportunity to submit an author response. By submitting a paper, authors acknowledge that they are aware of the possibility of receiving a summary rejection notification. Papers that are not desk rejected will be reviewed by a group of PC members (PCs) and the reviewing process will be supervised by an Area Chair (AC). The review process will include the opportunity for authors to respond to the reviews by pointing out factual errors in the reviews and answering specific questions by the reviewers. Author responses should be concise, and are not intended to create a dialogue between reviewers and authors. Author responses will be visible to PCs and ACs. The final decisions will be made by the program co-chairs. There will be no appeal for the decisions made. Accepted papers will be published in the KR 2023 proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to participate in the conference and present the work. Prizes for best papers (the Ray Reiter Best Paper Prize and the Marco Cadoli Best Student Paper Prize) will be possibly awarded, and runners-up will be possibly pointed out. Top papers from KR 2023 will be invited to the award-winning paper tracks of Artificial Intelligence (AIJ) and of the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research (JAIR). Thus, award winners will have the possibility of choosing between AIJ and JAIR. All submissions will be treated in strict confidence until the publication date.
