The 21st International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AIxIA 2022) is organized by AIxIA (Associazione Italiana per l’Intelligenza Artificiale), which is a non-profit scientific society founded in 1988 and devoted to the promotion of Artificial Intelligence. The society aims to increase the public awareness of AI, encourage the teaching of it and promote research in the field.

This website describes this edition of the Conference which is going to be held in Udine on November 28 - December 2 2022.

The growth of research and interests about AI today requires that specific communities of contributors could meet and face together in order to focus on specific fields of work. Due to the the growing number of focused activities represents the richness of the entire AI community, AIxIA 2022 hosts a set of dedicated workshops.

The main track of the AIxIA 2022 conference welcomes submissions covering all areas of AI, including (but not limited to):

machine learning,
search and planning,
knowledge representation and reasoning,
constraint satisfaction and optimization,
natural language processing,
argumentation,
robotics and perception,
autonomous agents and multiagent systems,
ethical and cultural issues in AI.

We encourage all types of high-quality contributions including theoretical, engineering, and applied papers. We also encourage contributions to AI techniques in the context of established and novel application domains, such as (cyber)security, sustainability, ageing, health care, cultural heritage, manufacturing, transportation, and commerce.

Finally, papers describing AI approaches and applications targeting societal challenges, including, for example, solutions for the mitigation and management of public health crises, as well as hot topics within the community, such as the assessment and mitigation of different kinds of biases, and in general ethical issues in AI, are particularly welcome.

Besides regular papers presenting results not already published we also welcome short "discussion papers" (maximum eight pages) containing

* descriptions of results recently published or accepted for the presentation in première international conferences and journals related to AI field;
* position papers discussing potentially controversial topics in AI or personal points of views about specific topics in AI.

Discussion papers are introduced as an opportunity for the authors to present their recent results to the AI community and to stimulate debate among attendees of AIxIA 2022 and potential collaborations thereof.

At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and attend the conference to present the work.

Proceedings of Regular Papers

Accepted regular papers will be included in the proceedings of the conference and will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series.

Authors of selected regular papers accepted to the main track will be invited to submit an extended version for publication on "Intelligenza Artificiale", the International Journal of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence, edited by IOS Press and indexed by Thomson Reuters' "Emerging Sources Citation Index" and Scopus by Elsevier.
