Conference name: 4th International Conference on Agents and Artificial
Intelligence (ICAART)

Venue: Algarve, Portugal


Event Date: 6 - 8 February, 2012


SCOPE

The purpose of the 4th International Conference on Agents and
Artificial Intelligence (ICAART) is to bring together researchers,
engineers and practitioners interested in the theory and applications
in these areas. Two simultaneous but strongly related tracks will be
held, covering both applications and current research work within the
area of Agents, Multi-Agent Systems and Software Platforms,
Distributed Problem Solving and Distributed AI in general, including
web applications, on one hand, and within the area of non-distributed
AI, including the more traditional areas such as Knowledge
Representation, Planning, Learning, Scheduling, Perception and also
not so traditional areas such as Reactive AI Systems, Evolutionary
Computing and other aspects of Computational Intelligence and many
other areas related to intelligent systems, on the other hand.
