3^rd International Workshop on

EXplainable and TRAnsparent AI and Multi-Agent Systems

(EXTRAAMAS 2021)

London, UK (fully online), 3 - 7 May 2021

The 3^rd International Workshop on EXplainable and TRAnsparent AI and Multi-Agent Systems (EXTRAAMAS 2021) is a forum to discuss and disseminate research on explainable artificial intelligence with a particular focus on cross-disciplinary perspectives. This edition of the workshop has two particular focus topics with the ultimate goal to strengthen bleeding-edge foundational and applied research:

1. XAI in Action: Applied perspectives.
EXTRAAMAS explicitly encourages the submission of applied research and demonstration papers. To further facilitate applied perspectives, EXTRAAMAS will organize a panel of industry experts. The panel will be guided to discuss a set of -- sometimes provocative questions -- in interaction with the audience.

2. Explainable Reasoning in Face of Contradictions: Cross-disciplinary Perspectives.
To facilitate basic research questions that lie at the heart of the AAMAS community, EXTRAAMAS explicitly encourages submissions on symbolic approaches to explainable AI and explainable agency. The corresponding EXTRAAMAS session will be kicked off by a keynote by Dov Gabbay, Augustus De Morgan Professor Emeritus of Logic at the Department of Informatics, King’s College London & Professor Emeritus at Bar-Ilan University, Israel. Selected papers will be invited to a special issue in the Journal of Applied Logics - IfCoLoG Journal of Logics and their Applications.

All accepted papers are eligible for publication in the Springer Lecture Notes of Artificial Intelligence conference proceedings (after revisions have been applied).
