Explainable Transparent Autonomous Agents And Multi Agent Systems

This book constitutes the proceedings of the First International Workshop on Explainable, Transparent Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, EXTRAAMAS 2019, held in Montreal, Canada, in May 2019. The 12 revised and extended papers presented were carefully selected from 23 submissions. They are organized in topical sections on explanation and transparency; explainable robots; opening the black box; explainable agent simulations; planning and argumentation; explainable AI and cognitive science.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Explainable, Transparent Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, EXTRAAMAS 2020, which was due to be held in Auckland, New Zealand, in May 2020. The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 8 revised and extended papers were carefully selected from 20 submissions and are presented here with one demo paper. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: explainable agents; cross disciplinary XAI; explainable machine learning; demos.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Explainable, Transparent AI and Multi-Agent Systems, EXTRAAMAS 2021, which was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 19 long revised papers and 1 short contribution were carefully selected from 32 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: XAI & machine learning; XAI vision, understanding, deployment and evaluation; XAI applications; XAI logic and argumentation; decentralized and heterogeneous XAI.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Engineering Multi-Agent Systems, EMAS 2019, held in Montreal, QC, Canada, in May 2019. The 13 revised full papers presented in this book were carefully selected and reviewed from 20 submissions. The papers are grouped in the following topical sections: Multi-Agent Interaction and Organization; Simulation; Social Awareness and Explainability; Learning and Reconfiguration; and Implementation Techniques and Tools.

An Application Science For Multi-Agent Systems addresses the complexity of choosing which multi-agent control technologies are appropriate for a given problem domain or a given application. Without such knowledge, when faced with a new application domain, agent developers must rely on past experience and intuition to determine whether a multi-agent system is the right approach, and if so, how to structure the agents, how to decompose the problem, and how to coordinate the activities of the agents, and so forth. This unique collection of contributions, written by leading international researchers in the agent community, provides valuable insight into the issues of deciding which technique to apply and when it is appropriate to use them. The contributions also discuss potential trade-offs or caveats involved with each decision. An Application Science For Multi-Agent Systems is an excellent reference for anyone involved in developing multi-agent systems.
