ICAART 2010 (International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence - http://www.icaart.org) has an open call for papers, whose deadline is at the end of July. We hope you can participate in this prestigious conference by submitting a paper reflecting your current research.

In cooperation with the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), the Portuguese Association for Artificial Intelligence (Associação Portuguesa Para a Inteligência Artificial - APPIA), the Spanish Association for Artificial Intelligence (Asociación Española de Inteligencia Artificial - AEPIA), the Workflow Management Coallition (WfMC) and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM SIGART), ICAART brings together top researchers and practitioners in several areas of Artificial Intelligence, from multiple areas of knowledge, such as 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.

ICAART will be held in Valencia, Spain next year, on January 22-24, 2010 and the paper submission deadline is scheduled for the next July 28, 2009. The conference program features a number of Keynote Lectures to be delivered by distinguished world-class researchers, including those listed below.

Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support. The proceedings will be indexed by DBLP and INSPEC. Additionaly, a selection of the best papers of the conference will be published in a book, by Springer-Verlag. Best paper awards will be given during the conference.

Please check further details at the ICAART conference web site (http://www.icaart.org/). There you will find detailed information about the conference structure and its main topic areas.

Workshops and special sessions are also invited. If you wish to propose workshop or a special session, for example based on the results of a specific research project, please send a proposal to the ICAART secretariat. Workshop chairs and Special Session chairs will benefit from logistics support and other types of support, including secretariat and financial support, to facilitate the developement of a valid idea.
