[agents] Call for Papers: The 5th International Conference on Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI 2023)

[Dengji Zhao]

Scope

The aim of the Distributed AI (DAI) seeks to bring together researchers and
practitioners in related areas (e.g., general AI, multi-agent systems,
distributed learning, computational game theory) to provide a high-profile,
internationally renowned forum for research in the theory and practice of
distributed AI. The Fifth DAI conference will be located in Singapore and have
a pure format of offline in-person participation. Except for regular paper
submissions, we will also invite some accepted papers from sister
conferences (e.g., AAMAS, AAAI, IJCAI, EC, KDD, ICLR, ICML, NeurIPS) to
present at the conference. Besides the accepted paper sessions, we will
also have high quality keynotes, workshops, tutorials and industry sessions.
Information for Authors

DAI 2023 encourages the submission of theoretical, empirical, and
perspective papers. Submitted papers should make clear the significance and
relevance of their results to the scope and agenda of the DAI conference.
Each paper should have a thorough evaluation, either theoretical or
empirical, that advances the current understanding of distributed AI. Each
paper should also pay attention to discussing how their work relates to the
current AI literature. All submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed and
evaluated on the basis of the overall quality of their technical
contribution, including criteria such as originality, soundness, relevance,
significance, quality of presentation, and understanding of the state of
the art.

The submission deadline is Aug 25, 2023 (23:59 UTC-12). By this time,
authors are asked to submit their paper to:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dai2023

The paper length is limited to 8 pages (excluding references). Authors may
use as many pages of appendices (after the bibliography) as they wish, but
reviewers are not required to read these. Any supplementary material should
be included after the main paper in the same PDF file. Please note that the
reviewers are not required to read this extra material when assessing the
paper. The DAI 2023 review process is DOUBLE BLIND. Please make sure that
the submission does not disclose the authors' identities or affiliations.

To prepare your submission to DAI 2023, please use the LaTeX or Word.

All work must be original, i.e., it must not have appeared in a conference
proceedings, book, or journal and may not be under review for another
archival conference. At least one of the authors of each paper is required
to register, attend, and present (in-person) the paper at the conference.
