This conference will bring together researchers interested in modeling and building autonomous agents.
Agents are computational systems that inhabit dynamic, unpredictable environments.
They interpret sensor data that reflect events in the environment and execute motor commands that produce effects in the environment. Agents can take many different physical forms, depending in part on the nature of their environments. Agents inhabiting the physical world typically are robots. Agents that perform primarily computational functions, but interact with the physical world may be called expert assistants. Similarly, agents can play many different roles in their environments, as illustrated in the following selected examples.
