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 discussion papers will not be included in the LNCS proceedings of 
the conference, and will be made available through the conference 
WEB-Site and possibly published on CEUR WS Proceedings upon request.

Best 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
