Anyone interested in talking about roboethics in Taiwan next May?

AAMAS (Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems) conference will be covering the topic. If you’re planning to head to Asia next May, you might want to check out their call for papers: http://www.aamas2011.tw/index.html

AAMAS is the leading scientific conference for research in autonomous agents and multiagent systems. The AAMAS conference series was initiated in 2002 by merging three highly-respected meetings:  International Conference on Multi-Agent Systems (ICMAS); International Workshop on Agent Theories, Architectures, and Languages (ATAL); and International Conference on Autonomous Agents (AA). The aim of the joint conference is to provide a single, high-profile, internationally-respected archival forum for scientific research in the theory and practice of autonomous agents and multiagent systems.

AAMAS-2011 is the Tenth conference in the AAMAS series, following enormously successful previous conferences, and will be held at the Taipei International Convention Center, Taipei, Taiwan.  See http://www.ifaamas.org for more information on the AAMAS conference series.
