Currently a plethora of heterogeneous, standalone or web-enabled applications exist providing various functionalities that could be exploited in innumerable contexts for the developmentof personalized agent-basedsolutions for the end user. The integration of these applications in a standard and seamless way to enable content-rich services for the end-user is not generally feasible. The main reason for this is that these app- cations are by nature heterogeneous, developed for different development plat-forms, using different software developmenttechnologies. In this paper we present a...

The ?rst edition of the International Colloquium on Grammatical Inference (ICGI) was held in Essex (United Kingdom) in 1993. After the success of this meeting there have been eight more editions that have been hosted by di- rent academic institutions across the world: Alicante (Spain, 1994), Montpellier (France, 1996), Ames, Iowa (USA, 1998), Lisbon (Portugal, 2000), Amsterdam (TheNetherlands,2002), Athens(Greece,2004), Tokyo(Japan,2006)andSaint- Malo (France, 2008). ICGI 2010 was held in Valencia (Spain) during September 13 16. It was organized by the Research Group on Formal Language...

This volume contains the papers presented at the 21st International Conf- ence on Algorithmic Learning Theory (ALT 2010), which was held in Canberra, Australia, October 6-8, 2010. The conference was co-located with the 13th - ternational Conference on Discovery Science (DS 2010) and with the Machine Learning Summer School, which was held just before ALT 2010. The tech- cal program of ALT 2010, contained 26 papers selected from 44 submissions and ?ve invited talks. The invited talks were presented in joint sessions of both conferences. ALT 2010 was dedicated to the theoretical foundations of...

These are the proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Multi Agent Systems Technologies (MATES 2010), held during 27 29 September in Leipzig, collocated with the 40th Annual Conference of the Gesellschaft fur Informatik e.V. (GI). The main aim of the MATES conference series consists in bringing together researchers from around the world and providing a fruitful discussion basis for exchanging ideas and sharing the latest scienti?c results. Since its inception in 2003, MATES hasbeen collocatedwith mainstreamsoftwareengineering conf- ences like the NetObjectDays as well as with the...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Discovery Science, DS 2010, held in Canberra, Australia, in October 2010.The 25 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from 43 submissions and include the first part of the book. In a second part invited talks of ALT 2010 and DS 2010 are presented.The scope of the conference is the exchange of new ideas and information among researchers working in the area of automatic scientific discovery or working on tools for supporting the human process of discovery in science.
