Artificial Intelligence Research and Development

The 44 papers, which incorporate the comments of reviews, cover information fusion and aggregation, robotics, computer vision, multi- agent systems, machine learning, problem resolution in artificial intelligence, and constraint reasoning and planning. Among specific topics are algebraic properties of fuzzy morphological operators based on uninorms, multi-robot task allocation strategies using auction-like mechanisms, feature extraction for gender recognition using the nearest neighbor approach, security measures in a medical multi-agent system, inductive learning from incompletely specified examples, and integrating agent interactions in real-time environments.
