First Workshop on "eXtended Reality & Intelligent Agents"
(XRIA24) @ ECAI24

Submissions

The workshop welcomes contributions that would allow us to solicit the discussion and brainstorming about any relevant aspect related to intelligent agents and multi-agent systems and Extended Reality.

Types of submissions and proceedings: research papers, perspective papers, reviews, and case studies are welcome.

We plan to not have formal proceedings but to publish accepted papers on the workshop website (or linking them from arxiv or any other archival repository, as preferred by the authors). Then, selected accepted papers will be invited to submit an extension of the workshop paper to a Special issue (see details below), which will follow a standard review process. 

In this line, the workshop will accept both short and long papers, as long as they provide enough information for the review process: constructive reviews will be provided, so that authors of accepted papers can prepare their presentation and discussion in the best way, and also take advantage of them to prepare the extended version of the paper for the SI, if invited to submit it.

The manuscript should use the ECAI LaTeX template: since we do not have formal proceedings, we will not be too strict regarding the paper's number of pages, which should be minimum 4 + references and maximum 7 (or 8) + references.

Papers can be submitted in PDF format via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=xria24

Special issue

We will organise a Special Issue on SN Computer Science, ranked Q2 for Computer Science and Applications on ScimagoJR, where authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their workshop paper. These papers will follow a standard review process managed by the workshop chairs and will be requested to show quality in line with the one of the journal.

Author will be invited to submit an [extended] version of their paper some days later the acceptance notification for the workshop: the reviewes will provide feedbacks for the camera ready for the workshop and will already integrate some suggestions for working on the version for the SI too.

Specific dates for the SI will be provided, but an indicative date for the deadline is the end of November 2024, so that authors will have more than 4 months from the notification date to prepare their SI paper.
