The publications within “Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing” are
primarily proceedings of important conferences, symposia and congresses. They
cover significant recent developments in the field, both of a foundational and
applicable character. An important characteristic feature of the series is the short
publication time and world-wide distribution. This permits a rapid and broad
dissemination of research results.

Preface
Welcome to Porto, Portugal, and to the tenth International Conference on Soft
Computing and Pattern Recognition (SoCPaR 2018) and the fourteenth
InternationalConferenceonInformationAssuranceandSecurity(IAS2018)heldat
Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP) during December 13–15, 2018.
SoCPaR2018 isorganizedtobring togetherworldwideleadingresearchers and
practitioners interested in advancing the state of the art in soft computing and
pattern recognition, for exchanging knowledge that encompasses a broad range of
disciplinesamongvariousdistinctcommunities.Thethemesforthisconferenceare
thus focused on “Innovating and Inspiring Soft Computing and Intelligent Pattern
Recognition.” The conference is expected to provide an opportunity for the
researchers to meet and discuss the latest solutions, scientific results, and methods
in solving intriguing problems in the fields of soft computing and pattern recog-
nition. SoCPaR 2018 received submissions from 16 countries, and each paper was
reviewedbyatleastfivereviewersinastandardpeer-reviewprocess.Basedonthe
recommendation by five independent referees, finally 22 papers were accepted for
the conference (acceptance rate of 47%).
Information assurance and security have become an important research issue in
the networked and distributed information sharing environments. Finding effective
waystoprotectinformationsystems,networksandsensitivedatawithinthecritical
information infrastructure is challenging even with the most advanced technology
and trained professionals. IAS 2018 aims to bring together researchers, practi-
tioners, developers, and policy makers involved in multiple disciplines of infor-
mationsecurityandassurancetoexchangeideasandtolearnthelatestdevelopment
in this important field. The conference provided an opportunity for the researchers
to meet and discuss the latest solutions, scientific results, and methods in solving
intriguing problems in the fields of IAS. IAS 2018 received submissions from 12
countries, and each paper was reviewed by at least five reviewers in a standard
peer-review process. Based on the recommendation by five independent referees,
finally 16 papers were accepted for the conference (acceptance rate of 45%).
