Call for Papers
AIIA19 - The 18th International Conference of the Italian Association
for Artificial Intelligence
UNICAL, Rende (CS), 19-22 November 2019
****************************************************************************************************************************************************************

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Topics of Interest
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The conference covers broadly the many aspects of theoretical and
applied Artificial Intelligence. A series of workshops dedicated to
specific topics enhances the program. AIIA 2019 welcomes submissions
covering all areas of AI, including (but not limited to) machine
learning, search, planning, knowledge representation, reasoning,
constraint satisfaction, natural language processing, robotics and
perception, and multiagent systems. We encourage all types of
high-quality contributions including theoretical, engineering and
applied papers. We also encourage contributions on AI techniques in the
context of novel application domains, such as security, sustainability,
health care, transportation, and commerce.

Besides regular original papers, in this edition we also welcome
discussion papers containing descriptions of results recently published
or accepted for the presentation in international conferences.
Discussion papers are expected to be more broadly accessible than
regular papers, they are an opportunity for the authors to present their
recent results to the AI community, and a valuable addition for the
attendees of AIIA 2019.

At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and
attend the conference to present the work.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Proceedings of Regular Papers
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The regular papers will be included in the proceedings of the
conference, and will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture
Notes in Artificial Intelligence series. Authors of selected regular
papers accepted to the main track will be invited to submit an extended
version for publication on "Intelligenza Artificiale", the International
Journal of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence, edited
by IOS Press and indexed by Thomson Reuters' "Emerging Sources Citation
Index" and Scopus by Elsevier.

Proceedings of Discussion Papers

The Program Committee will select the Best Student Paper Award and the
Best Paper Award from the accepted regular papers. In order to be
