== Topics of Interest ==

The main conference covers the wide spectrum of topics that
characterise current trends in Artificial Intelligence. A number of
specific topics are also covered by dedicated thematic workshops
co-located with the main conference. Workshops will be announced later
on and we foresee a significant participation by the research
communities, in the vein of the success of the previous AIxIA
editions.

The main track of the AIxIA 2024 conference welcomes submissions
covering all areas of AI, including (but not limited to):

- machine learning,
- search and planning,
- knowledge representation, reasoning, and argumentation
- constraint satisfaction and optimisation,
- natural language processing,
- robotics and perception,
- autonomous agents and multiagent systems,
- ethical and cultural issues in AI.

We encourage all types of high-quality contributions including
theoretical, engineering, and applied papers. We also encourage
contributions to AI techniques in the context of established and novel
application domains, such as

- (cyber)security, 
- sustainability, 
- ageing and health care,
- education, 
- cultural heritage, 
- manufacturing, 
- transportation, 
- commerce and recommendation systems.

Papers describing AI approaches and applications targeting
societal challenges, including, for example, solutions for the
mitigation and management of public health crises, as well as hot
topics within the community, such as the assessment and mitigation of
different kinds of biases, and in general ethical issues in AI, are
particularly welcome.

Besides regular papers presenting results not already published we
also welcome short "discussion papers" containing:

- descriptions of results recently published or accepted for the presentation 
  in première international conferences and journals related to AI field;
- position papers discussing potentially controversial topics in AI or personal 
  points of views about specific topics in AI.

Discussion papers are introduced as an opportunity for the authors to
present their recent results to the AI community and to stimulate
debate among attendees of AIxIA 2024 and potential collaborations
thereof.

At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and
attend the conference to present the work.

== Proceedings of Regular Papers ==

Accepted 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 (LNAI) 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 by Elsevier Scopus.

== Proceedings of Discussion Papers ==

Discussion papers will not be included in the LNAI proceedings of the
conference, and will be published as separated proceedings upon
request. Discussion papers will be presented and discussed at the
conference together with regular submissions.

== Best Papers Awards ==

The Program Committee will select the Best Student Paper and the Best
Paper from the accepted regular papers. In order to be eligible for
the Best Student Paper Award, at least one uthor must be a student.

== Submission Instructions ==

Submitted papers should be written in English and formatted according
to the Springer LNCS style. Regular papers must be original papers,
which are not being submitted simultaneously for publication
elsewhere. These papers should not exceed 12 pages, with any number of
additional pages containing bibliographic references only.

Discussion papers report results already published or accepted for
publication in international conferences, and should not exceed 4
pages with any number of additional pages containing bibliographic
references only.
