The 4th International Workshop on EXplainable and TRAnsparent AI and Multi-Agent Systems (EXTRAAMAS 2022)
Auckland, New Zealand (fully online), 9 - 10 May 2022

https://extraamas.ehealth.hevs.ch/

held in conjunction with:

21st International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, May 09-13, 2022 Auckland, New Zealand

                                                         https://aamas2022-conference.auckland.ac.nz/

**************************************************************************************************************************************
Aim and Scope:
==============

The workshop aims to gather researchers interested in developing explainable approaches to Artificial Intelligence (AI), 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. 
This edition of the workshop has three particular focus topics with the ultimate goal to strengthen cutting-edge foundational and applied research:
1. XAI Fundamentals
2. XAI in Action: Applied perspectives
3. XAI and Law Cross-disciplinary Perspectives


Important Dates:
================

Deadline for Submissions: 1 March 2022

Notification of acceptance: 10 March 2022

Workshop days: 9-10 May 2022

Camera-ready: 20 May 2022

Submission:
===========

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=extraamas2022

All accepted papers can be published in the Springer post-proceedings Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI).
Participants are therefore invited to submit papers up to 16 pages (excl. references) in length (5 pages incl. references for demo papers), addressing the topics of the workshop.
Papers must be edited using the LNCS format (applying the LNCS post-proceedings template) and have to be submitted electronically as PDF files via the EasyChair submission page.
