EXTENDED CALL FOR PAPERS 

The 1st International Workshop on EXplainable, TRansparent, Autonomous Agents 
and Multi-Agent Systems (EXTRAAMAS-19)

Description 
========== 

The aim of the EXTRAAMAS-19 workshop is to: 
- Establish a common ground for the study and development of explainable and 
understandable autonomous agents, robots and multi-agent systems, 
- Investigate the potential of agent-based systems in the development of 
personalized user-aware explainable AI, 
- Assess the impact of transparent and explained solutions on user/agents 
behaviors, and 
- Discuss motivating examples and concrete applications in which the lack of 
explainability leads to problems that can be resolved by explainability. 

---------------------------------------------- 
Topics 
====== 

The main topics of the EXTRAAMAS-19 workshop are (but not restricted to): 
- Explainable agent architectures 
- Adaptive and personalized explainable agents 
- Explainable human-robot interaction 
- Expressive robots 
- Explainable planning 
- Explanation visualization 
- Explainable agents’ applications: (e-health, smart environment, driving 
companion, recommender systems, coaching agents, etc.) 
- Explainable agents’ applications: (e-health, smart environment, driving 
companion, recommender systems, coaching agents, etc.) 
- Reinforcement learning agents 
- Cognitive and social sciences perspectives on explanations 
- Legal aspects of explainable agents

Important Dates 
============== 

- Deadline for Submissions: February 26, 2019 (Extended) 
- Notification of acceptance: March 10, 2019 
- Camera-ready: April 1, 2019 
- Workshop: May 13-14, 2019 

---------------------------------------------- 
Submission 
========= 

Submissions will be reviewed by at least three members of the programme 
committee, who are experts in the field. 
The acceptance of the submitted papers will depend on their quality, relevance, 
and originality. 
To conduct this process, the chairs will rely on easychair to make the 
reviewing procedure traceable, transparent and accessible. 
In the case of accepted papers characterized by relevant demands (e.g., 
clarifications, changes, corrections) set by the reviewers, 
the final acceptance will be subject to their accomplishment. 

Accepted papers will be published in the Springer proceedings Lecture Notes in 
Artificial Intelligence (LNAI). 
Participants are therefore invited to submit papers up to 16 pages in length, 
addressing the topics of the workshop. 
Papers must be edited using the LNCS format (applying the LNCS proceedings 
template), 
and have to be submitted electronically as PDF files via the EasyChair 
submission page. 

The top papers will be published in Special Issue of a journal with a relevant 
impact factor (to be announced).
