Hybrid Artificial Intelligent Systems try to deal with the complexity of real world phenomena, with a multidisciplinary approach and a plurality of techniques. The complex systems where they are applied cover biology, medicine, management, engineering, humanities... all characterized by the difficulty of modelling their usual problems by classical methods.

In this framework, this special session is aimed at discussing research on working with social interactions, by using agents or any artificial intelligence technique. Therefore, it will focus on social simulation and dynamic social network systems. It also covers the Hybrid Systems with the capability to hold a negotiation about a topic, demonstrate reputation using diverse models, together with argumentation procedures as a way for reaching agreements during the negotiation process.
