Agents and Artificial Intelligence

This book contains the revised and extended versions of selected papers from the 9th International Conference, ICAART 2017, held in Porto, Portugal, in February 24-26, 2017. The 11 full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 158 initial submissions. The papers are organized in two tracks. The first focuses on agents, multi-agent systems, software platforms, distributed problem solving and distributed AI in general. The second track focuses mainly on artificial intelligence, knowledge representation, planning, learning, scheduling, perception, reactive AI systems, evolutionary computing, and other topics related to intelligent systems and computer intelligence.
