Please, accept our apologies in case of multiple copies of this CFP. ************************************************************************************************************************************* The 3rd International Workshop on EXplainable and TRAnsparent AI and Multi-Agent Systems (EXTRAAMAS 2021) https://extraamas.ehealth.hevs.ch/ held in conjunction with: 20th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems May 17-21, 2021 London, UK https://aamas2021.soton.ac.uk/ ************************************************************************************************************************************** Aim and Scope ============ The workshop aims to gather researchers interested in developing explainable approaches to artificial intelligence, in particular to explainable agency, learning, reasoning, and their intersections. Participants are invited to submit papers addressing whichever phase of explainability (e.g., generation, communication, and reception) fostering transparency in autonomous agents and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), robots, and other intelligent systems. Compliance with such requirements is becoming necessary in most systems where agent-oriented approaches are increasingly employed.
