Aim An intelligent agent which operates in the real world, be it a robot or a software system, should be able to perceive and interact with moving objects, people, etc., in unstructured and unpredictable environments. In order to accomplish its own task, the agent must be able to understand its workspace, meaning that it should be able to generate an internal high-level description of what is perceived. Building an agent able to understand its environment is a demanding task that can be achieved only by means of the joint application of techniques, methodologies and experiences from several advanced research fields. Topics Researchers are invited to submit contributions concerning methodology and application issues raised by the joint application of Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition techniques.
Preliminary work highlighting innovative and promising research directions is encouraged.
