ATAL-2001 The Eighth International Workshop on AGENT THEORIES, ARCHITECTURES, AND LANGUAGES.
As the title suggests, the workshop has three main themes: * AGENT THEORIES: What approaches (e.g., game theory, logic) are appropriate for agent theory? How do these approaches relate to one another? * AGENT ARCHITECTURES: What architectures are appropriate for autonomous agents? How can such architectures be given a formal semantics? How can different agent architectures be evaluated and compared? What methodologies can be used to build agent-based applications? How close are these methodologies to existing formal specification languages or object-oriented analysis and design methods? * AGENT LANGUAGES: What programming paradigms are most suitable for agents? How do agent-oriented languages differ from object-oriented and logic programming languages? What are efficient implementation mechanisms for these languages?

AAAI Fall Symposium on Anchoring Symbols to Sensor Data in Single and Multiple Robot Systems.
The focus of this symposium is on the connection between abstract- and physical-level representations of objects in autonomous robotic systems. We call "anchoring" the process of creating, and maintaining in time, this connection. Anchoring can thus be seen as a special case of symbol grounding where the symbols denote physical objects.
