The 13 full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 25 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: User-centric XAI; XAI and Reinforcement Learning; Neuro-symbolic AI and Explainable Machine Learning; and XAI & Ethics.

This volume LNCS 14127 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Workshop, EXTRAAMAS 2023, held in London, UK, in May 2023. The 15 full papers presented together with 1 short paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 26 submissions. The workshop focuses on Explainable Agents and multi-agent systems; Explainable Machine Learning; and Cross-domain applied XAI.

This book comprises carefully selected and reviewed outcomes of the 13th International Workshop on Automated Negotiations (ACAN) held in Vienna, 2022, in conjunction with International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) 2022. It focuses on the applications and challenges of agent-based negotiation including agreement technology, mechanism design, electronic commerce, recommender systems, supply chain management, social choice theory, and others. This book is intended for the academic and industrial researchers of various communities of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems, as well as graduate students studying in those areas or having interest in them.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Principles and Practice of Multi-Agent Systems, PRIMA 2020, held in hybrid mode in Valencia, Spain, in November 2022. The 31 full papers presented together with 15 short papers and 1 demo paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 100 submissions.The conference covers a wide range of ranging from foundations of agent theory and engineering aspects of agent systems, to emerging interdisciplinary areas of agent-based research.

This volume comprises carefully selected and reviewed outcomes of the 12th International Workshop on Automated Negotiations (ACAN) held in Macao, 2019, in conjunction with International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) 2019. It focuses on human aspects of automated negotiation and the recent advances in negotiation frameworks and strategies. Written by leading academic and industrial researchers, it is a valuable resource for professionals and scholars working on complex automated negotiations.

This book discusses important recent advances in automated negotiations. It introduces a number of state-of-the-art autonomous agents for large-scale and complex negotiations, and demonstrates that automated negotiation is one of the most important areas in the field of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. Further, it presents automated negotiation scenarios involving negotiation encounters that may have, for instance, a large number of agents or a large number of issues with interdependencies and/or real-time constraints. This book includes carefully selected and reviewed outcomes of the 11th International Workshop on Automated Negotiations (ACAN) held in Stockholm, Sweden, 2018, in conjunction with IJCAI-ECAI-2018. Written by leading academic and industrial researchers, it is a valuable resource for professionals and scholars working on complex automated negotiations. Furthermore, the in-depth descriptions of automated negotiating agent programs help readers who are involved in writing codes for automated agents.

This book constitutes thoroughly revised selected papers of the Second International Workshop on Conflict and Resolution in Decision Makrung, COREDEMA 2016, held in The Hague, The Netherlands, in August 2016. The 9 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 13 submissions.The 2nd International Workshop on Conflict Resolution in Decision Making (COREDEMA 2016) focuses on theoretical and practical computational approaches for solving and understanding conflict resolution.

This book addresses several important aspects of complex automated negotiations and introduces a number of modern approaches for facilitating agents to conduct complex negotiations. It demonstrates that autonomous negotiation is one of the most important areas in the field of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. Further, it presents complex automated negotiation scenarios that involve negotiation encounters that may have, for instance, a large number of agents, a large number of issues with strong interdependencies and/or real-time constraints.
