Total: 7

#1 Automated Negotiating Agents Competition (ANAC) [PDF] [Copy] [Kimi]

Authors: Catholijn Jonker ; Reyhan Aydogan ; Tim Baarslag ; Katsuhide Fujita ; Takayuki Ito ; Koen Hindriks

The annual International Automated Negotiating Agents Competition (ANAC) is used by the automated negotiation research community to benchmark and evaluate its work andto challenge itself. The benchmark problems and evaluation results and the protocols and strategies developed are available to the wider research community.

#2 What's Hot in Constraint Programming [PDF] [Copy] [Kimi]

Authors: Laurent Michel ; Michel Rueher

The CP conference is the annual international conference on constraint programming. It is concerned with all aspects of computing with constraints, including theory, algorithms, environments, languages, models, systems, and applications such as decision-making, resource allocation, scheduling, configuration, and planning. The CP community is very keen to ensure it remains open to interdisciplinary research at the intersection between constraint programming and related fields. Hence, in addition to the usual technical and application tracks, the CP 2016 conference featured thematic tracks: Computational Sustainability, CP and Biology, Preferences, Social Choice and Optimization, and Testing and Verification. In this overview, we highlight several remarkable papers that have been selected by the senior program committee and papers with the most innovative methods and techniques, and a very high potential for applications (in our opinion).

#3 What's Hot in Evolutionary Computation [PDF] [Copy] [Kimi]

Authors: Tobias Friedrich ; Frank Neumann

We provide a brief overview on some hot topics in the area of evolutionary computation. Our main focus is on recent developments in the areas of combinatorial optimization and real-world applications. Furthermore, we highlight recent progress on the theoretical understanding of evolutionary computing methods.

#4 What's Hot at CPAIOR (Extended Abstract) [PDF] [Copy] [Kimi]

Author: Claude-Guy Quimper

The 13th International Conference on Integration of Artificial Intelligence and Operations Research Techniques in Constraint Programming (CPAIOR 2016), was held in Banff, Canada, May 29 - June 1, 2016. In order to trigger exchanges between the constraint programming and the operations research community, CPAIOR was co-located with CORS 2016, the Canadian Operational Research society's conference.

#5 SAT Competition 2016: Recent Developments [PDF] [Copy] [Kimi]

Authors: Tomas Balyo ; Marijn Heule ; Matti Jarvisalo

We give an overview of SAT Competition 2016, the 2016 edition of thefamous competition for Boolean satisfiability (SAT) solvers with over 20 years of history. A key aim is to point out ``what's hot'' in SAT competitions in 2016, i.e., new developments in thecompetition series, including new competition tracks and new solver techniquesimplemented in some of the award-winning solvers.

#6 The State of the AIIDE Conference in 2017 [PDF] [Copy] [Kimi]

Authors: Nathan Sturtevant ; Brian Magerko

This abstract looks at the state of the Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment Conference (AIIDE), describing some of the changes in the field and areas of focus for current work.

#7 What's Hot in Case-Based Reasoning [PDF] [Copy] [Kimi]

Authors: Ashok Goel ; Belen Diaz-Agudo

Case-based reasoning addresses new problems by remembering and adapting solutions previously used to solve similar problems. Pulled by the increasing number of applications and pushed by a growing interest in memory intensive techniques, research on case-based reasoning appears to be gaining momentum. In this article, we briefly summarize recent developments in research on case-based reasoning based partly on the recent Twenty Fourth International Conference on Case-Based Reasoning.
