Originally published in 1995, this volume is the direct result of a conference in which a number of leading researchers from the fields of artificial intelligence and biology gathered to examine whether there was any ground to assume that a new AI paradigm was forming itself and what the essential ingredients of this new paradigm were. A great deal of scepsis is justified when researchers, particularly in the cognitive sciences, talk about a new paradigm. Shifts in paradigm mean not only new ideas but also shifts in what constitutes good problems, what counts as a result, the experimental practice to validate results, and the technological tools needed to do research. Due to the complexity of the subject matter, paradigms abound in the cognitive sciences -- connectionism being the most prominent newcomer in the mid-1980s. This workshop group was brought together in order to clarify the common ground, see what had been achieved so far, and examine in which way the research could move further. This volume is a reflection of this important meeting. It contains contributions which were distributed before the workshop but then substantially broadened and revised to reflect the workshop discussions and more recent technical work. Written in polemic form, sometimes criticizing the work done thus far within the new paradigm, this collection includes research program descriptions, technical contributions, and position papers.

This book contains the revised and extended versions of selected papers from the 11th International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence, ICAART 2019, held in Prague, Czech Republic, in February 2019.

Overall, 46 full papers, 66 short papers, and 36 poster papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 202 initial submissions. 17 of the 46 full papers were selected to be included in this volume. These papers deal with topics such as natural language processing, artificial intelligence, and agents.

This book contains the revised and extended versions of selected papers from the 12th International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence, ICAART 2020, held in Valletta, Malta, in February 2020.

Overall, 45 full papers, 74 short papers, and 56 poster papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 276 initial submissions. 23 of the 45 full papers were selected to be included in this volume. These papers deal with topics such as agents and artificial intelligence.

This book contains the revised and extended versions of selected papers from the 15th International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence, ICAART 2023, held in Lisbon, Portugal, during February 22–24, 2023.

The 23 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 306 submissions. The conference was organized in 2 tracks as follows:

This book constitutes the post-conference proceedings of the First International Workshop on Value Engineering in Artificial Intelligence, VALE 2023, held in Krakow, Poland, on September 30, 2023.

The 16 full papers presented  were carefully reviewed and selected. The papers have been grouped into four themes, addressing a number of research questions for each:

I. Frameworks for norms and values: What are existing or new frameworks for norms and values and how can they be represented in AI systems in order to make these systems norm- and value-aware?

II. Detection of moral values: Given an existing AI system, how can we figure out whether its behavior is aligned with human values?

III. Learning and engineering of value-aligned policies: How can policies for implementing norms and values be acquired or designed?

IV. Implementation of norms: How can norms be implemented in concrete AI applications?

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Value Engineering in Artificial Intelligence, VALE 2024, held in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, during October 19–24, 2024.

The 16 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected. The papers have been grouped into these topical sections: value identification; value-driven decision making; and ethical issues, including explainability.

This two part-volume LNCS constitutes the refereed post proceedings of 16th International Conference, ICAART 2024, in Rome, Italy in February 2024.

The 24 full papers and 13 short papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 375 submissions. They cover all aspects of formal methods, with a strong emphasis on promoting their industrial applications and integrating them with practical engineering practices.
