In the light of these developments and in order to foster the transfer of agent technology from research labs to business, the EU has funded a \network of exc- lence" devoted to agent technology.

The papers in this work cover such topics as: acquiring user models from multi-modal user input; learning interaction models; user models for natural language interpretation, processing and generation; and adaptive interviewing for acquiring user preferences.

Examining the capabilities of machine learning methods and ideas on how they apply to real-world problems, this text assesses machine learning, then introduces applications of ML techniques in fields such as data mining, knowledge discovery, human language technology, and user modelling.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Text, Speech and Dialogue, TSD 2001, held in Zelezna Ruda, Czech Republic in September 2001. The 59 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 117 submissions.

Constitutes the refereed post-proceedings of the Second Workshop of Central and Eastern Europe on Multi-Agent Systems held in Poland in 2001. The 33 revised papers address organizational and social aspects of MAS; communication languages, protocols and negotiation; applications of MAS and more.

The SARA series is the continuation of two separate threads of workshops: AAAI workshops in 1990 and 1992, and an ad hoc series beginning with the "Knowledge Compilation" workshop in 1986 and the "Change of Representation and Inductive Bias" workshop in 1988 with followup workshops in 1990 and 1992.

This book presents papers describing selected projects on the topic of data mining in fields like e commerce, medicine, and knowledge management. Perner and Fiss present in their paper a strategy for intelligent e marketing with web mining and personalization.

Constituting the proceedings of the Second International Conference on Music and Artificial Intelligence, these 16 revised, full papers address such topics as: parsing for music and language; patterns in music; musical pattern recognition; visualisation and tonal structure representation.

Constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Algorithmic Learning Theory, ALT 2006, held in Barcelona, Spain in October 2006, colocated with the 9th International Conference on Discovery Science, DS 2006. This book presents papers that deal with the theoretical foundations of machine learning.

The author describes these systems as composed of intelligent entities, the agents, with intentions, beliefs, know-how, and communicating with each other, furthermore, a semantics for multiagent systems in a general logical framework is developed.

As the first monograph in the field, this state-of-the-art survey provides a rigorous presentation of logic programs as representational and reasoning tools. The authors used this book successfully as a text for a MSc course.

International Summer School, SCIE-97, Frascati, Italy, July 14-18, 1997

This carefully edited book constitutes the strictly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Agent Theories, Architectures, and Languages, ATAL'97, held in Providence, Rhode Island, USA, in July 1997. The 25 revised full papers presented were selected from a total of 76 submissions.

In fact, we expect such systems not to become paralyzed by missing information but rather to arrive at plausible results by bridging the gaps in the information available. A versatile way of reasoning in the absence of information is to reason by default.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Workshop on Collective Robotics, CRW'98, held as part of the Agents' World 1998 conference in Paris, France, in July 1998. The 13 revised full papers presented in the book were selected during a vigorous reviewing process.

Theory reasoning is about techniques for combining automated reasoning systems with specialized and efficient modules for handling domain knowledge called background reasoners. Connection methods have proved to be a good choice for implementing high-speed automated reasoning systems.

The papers in this text are organized in sections on human perception and production of gesture; localization and segmentation; recognition; sign language; gesture synthesis and animation; and multimodality.

This volume is devoted to the interdisciplinary study of formal models of agency and intelligent agents from the points of view of artificial intelligence, software engineering, applied logic, databases, and organization theory.

Research in - operative information agents has expanded to include agent negotiation, agent communities, agent mobility, as well as agent collaboration for information d- covery in constrained environments.

Termination proofs constitute a crucial part of program verification. Although logic programs pose special difficulties for termination proofs it turns out that automation of this task is obtainable to a much larger degree than for programs in imperative languages.

The workshop was organised in association with SimSoc, an informal group of social scientists who have arranged an irregular series of influential workshops on using simulation in the social sciences beginning in 1992.

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Sanskrit Computational Linguistics, held in Hyderabad, India, in January 2009. The papers fall under four broad categories: Four papers deal with the structure of Panini's Astadhyayi.

This volume constitutes the revised selected papers of the 6th International Workshop, DALT 2008, held as satellite workshop of AAMAS 2008, the 7th International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, in Estoril, Portugal, on May 12, 2008.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Quantum Interaction, QI 2009, held in Saarbrucken, Germany, in March 2009.

The 22 revised full papers and 16 revised short papers presented together with 11 application papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 102 submissions.

The papers present original high-quality research in all areas of Artificial Intelligence and apply historical AI techniques to modern problem domains as well as recent techniques to historical problem settings.

Most submissions received four reviews, a few submissions received ?ve reviews, while only several submissions received three reviews.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 8th Pacific Rim International Workshop on Multi-Agents, PRIMA 2005, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in September 2005. The 29 revised full papers and 2 keynote papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions.

Constitutes the post-proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Agent-Mediated Electronic Commerce, AMEC 2006, held in New York, in July 2004. Including work from such fields as Computer Science, and Operations Research, the 15 papers presented in this title are organized in sections on mechanism design, trading agents, and tools.
