CALL FOR PAPERS
Fourth Workshop on Agents and Robots for reliable Engineered Autonomy (AREA)
Co-located with ECAI 2024
Workshop: 19th October 2024
Conference: 19th - 24th October 2024
Santiago de Compostela, Spain
Workshop website: https://areaworkshop.github.io/AREA2024/
Contact: area.workshop.info@gmail.com
IMPORTANT DATES
Paper Submission Deadline (extended): 5th July 2024 (AoE, UTC-12)
ECAI 2024 Review Transfer Paper Submission (new): 17th July 2024 (AoE,
UTC-12)
Paper Notification: 18th July 2024 (AoE, UTC-12)
SCOPE
This workshop aims to bring together researchers from the autonomous
agents, robotics, and software engineering communities, since combining
knowledge from these research areas may lead to innovative approaches
that can solve complex real-world problems related to autonomous robotic
systems. Therefore, we encourage submissions that combine agents,
robots, software engineering, and verification, but we also welcome
papers focused on one of these areas, as long as their applicability to
the other areas is explicit.
TOPICS
The main topics include but are not limited to:
- Agent-based modular architectures applicable to robots
- Agent oriented software engineering to model high-level control in
robotic development
- Agent programming languages and tools for developing robotic or
intelligent autonomous systems
- Coordination, interaction, and negotiation protocols for agents and robots
- Distributed problem solving and automated planning in autonomous systems
- Engineering reliable interactions between humans and autonomous robots
or agents
- Fault tolerance, health-management, and long-term autonomy
- Neuro-symbolic artificial intelligence
- Real world applications of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems
in robotics
- Runtime verification of autonomous agents and robotic systems
- Task and resource allocation in multi-robot systems
- Verification and validation of autonomous systems
SUBMISSIONS
Types of submissions:
- full-length research paper
- short paper
- ECAI 2024 review transfer: resubmission of papers rejected from the
main conference, decision will be made purely on the basis of the
reviews written for the main conference and how well the paper aligns
with the scope of the workshop. Please submit a PDF as supplementary
material containing all of the ECAI 2024 reviews associated with your
paper. The initial submission can be in ECAI's format or Springer LNCS
format. However, the camera-ready version to be submitted later on will
have to be in LNCS format for it to be published.
Full-length research papers must not exceed sixteen (16) pages single
column excluding references and appendices and short papers must not
exceed eight (8) pages single column excluding references and
appendices. All submissions must be in English and PDF format. Each
submission will receive at least three single-blind reviews. All papers
should be original and not be submitted elsewhere. The review process is
single-blind: submissions should not be blind, reviewers will be.
The AREA 2024 workshop is going to be an in-person event (following ECAI
2024 guidelines). At least one author of each accepted paper has to
register to the workshop (via ECAI 2024 website).
The proceedings of the workshop will be published with Communications in
Computer and Information Science (CCIS,
https://www.springer.com/series/7899). Formatting guidelines should
follow LNCS style:

Submission link: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=area2024
After the workshop, we will consider applying for a special issue
(journal to be selected later), where revised selected and extended
papers can be published.
WORKSHOP FORMAT
The event is planned as a one day workshop, with a duration of
approximately eight hours (four in the morning and four in the afternoon).
Kind regards, the organisers:
Angelo Ferrando, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (Italy)
Rafael C. Cardoso, University of Aberdeen (UK)
