Call for Papers: DAI 2023

The Fifth International Conference on Distributed Artificial Intelligence

Singapore

Scope

The aim of the Distributed AI (DAI) seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners in related areas (e.g., general AI, multi-agent systems, distributed learning, computational game theory) to provide a high-profile, internationally renowned forum for research in the theory and practice of distributed AI. The Fifth DAI conference will be located in Singapore and have a pure format of offline in-person participation. Except for regular paper submissions, we will also invite some accepted papers from sister conferences (e.g., AAMAS, AAAI, IJCAI, EC, KDD, ICLR, ICML, NeurIPS) to present at the conference. Besides the accepted paper sessions, we will also have high quality keynotes, workshops, tutorials and industry sessions.

Information for Authors

DAI 2023 encourages the submission of theoretical, empirical, and perspective papers. Submitted papers should make clear the significance and relevance of their results to the scope and agenda of the DAI conference. Each paper should have a thorough evaluation, either theoretical or empirical, that advances the current understanding of distributed AI. Each paper should also pay attention to discussing how their work relates to the current AI literature. All submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed and evaluated on the basis of the overall quality of their technical contribution, including criteria such as originality, soundness, relevance, significance, quality of presentation, and understanding of the state of the art.

The submission deadline is Aug 25, 2023 (23:59 UTC-12) Sep 15, 2023(23:59 UTC-12). By this time, authors are asked to submit their paper to: Submission Link. The paper notification date is Oct 10, 2023 (23:59 UTC-12).

The paper length is limited to 8 pages (excluding references). Authors may use as many pages of appendices (after the bibliography) as they wish, but reviewers are not required to read these. Any supplementary material should be included after the main paper in the same PDF file. Please note that the reviewers are not required to read this extra material when assessing the paper. The DAI 2023 review process is DOUBLE BLIND. Please make sure that the submission does not disclose the authors' identities or affiliations.

To prepare your submission to DAI 2023, please use the LaTeX or Word.

All work must be original, i.e., it must not have appeared in a conference proceedings, book, or journal and may not be under review for another archival conference. At least one of the authors of each paper is required to register, attend, and present (in-person) the paper at the conference.
