Yet, to this day, equipping machines with imaginative and creative capabilities remains one of the most challenging and fascinating goals we pursue. Intelligent software agents can behave intelligently in well-defined scenarios, relying on Machine Learning (ML), symbolic reasoning, and the ability of their developers for tailoring smart behaviors to specific application domains. However, to forecast the evolution of all possible scenarios is unfeasible. Thus, intelligent agents should autonomously/creatively adapt to the world’s mutability. This paper investigates the meaning of imagination in the context of cognitive agents. In particular, it addresses techniques and approaches to let agents autonomously imagine/simulate their course of action and generate explanations supporting it, and formalizes thematic challenges. Accordingly, we investigate research areas including: (i) reasoning and automatic theorem proving to synthesize novel knowledge via inference; (ii) automatic planning and simulation, used to speculate over alternative courses of action; (iii) machine learning and data mining, exploited to induce new knowledge from experience; and (iv) biochemical coordination, which keeps imagination dynamic by continuously reorganizing it. 000009059 540__ $$acorrect 000009059 592__ $$aHEG-VS 000009059 592__ $$bInstitut Informatique de gestion 000009059 592__ $$cEconomie et Services 000009059 65017 $$aInformatique 000009059 6531_ $$9eng$$amulti-agent systems 000009059 6531_ $$9eng$$aimagination 000009059 6531_ $$9eng$$aBDI 000009059 6531_ $$9eng$$acognitive agents 000009059 6531_ $$9eng$$aXAI 000009059 655_7 $$apublished full paper 000009059 700__ $$aCiatto, Giovanni$$uUniversity of Bologna, Cesena, Italy 000009059 700__ $$aNajjar, Amro$$uUniversity of Luxembourg, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg 000009059 700__ $$aCalbimonte, Jean-Paul$$uUniversity of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland (HES-SO Valais-Wallis) 000009059 700__ $$aCalvaresi, Davide$$uUniversity of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland (HES-SO Valais-Wallis) 000009059 711__ $$aThird International Workshop, EXTRAAMAS 2021$$cOnline$$d2021-05-03$$m2021-05-07 000009059 773__ $$tExplainable and Transparent AI and Multi-Agent Systems : Third International Workshop, EXTRAAMAS 2021, Virtual Event, May 3–7, 2021, Revised Selected Papers 000009059 8564_ $$s317688$$uhttps://arodes.hes-so.ch/record/9059/files/Author%20postprint.pdf$$94ee006ac-0b00-4e91-83a9-ec2b6bbe6cd8 000009059 906__ $$aGREEN 000009059 909CO $$ooai:hesso.tind.io:9059$$pECONOMIESERVICES_ALL$$pGLOBAL_SET$$pECONOMIESERVICES_CONFERENCE$$qDOMAINE_ECONOMIESERVICE_CONFERENCE 000009059 950__ $$aI1 000009059 980__ $$aconference 000009059 981__ $$aconference
