Preface
ThePortugueseConferenceonArtificialIntelligenceisreturningtoCoimbra,18years
after its previous edition in this city. UNESCO recently recognized the University of
Coimbra,aswellassomeareasofthecity,asaworldheritagesite,acknowledgingits
relevance in the dissemination of knowledge throughout the fields of arts, sciences,
law, architecture, urban planning, and landscape. It is therefore the ideal period to
welcome back the conference to Coimbra.
EPIA events have a longstanding tradition in the Portuguese Artificial Intelligence
(AI)community.TheirpurposeistopromoteresearchinAIandthescientificexchange
among researchers, practitioners, scientists, and engineers in related disciplines. The
first edition took place in 1985 and since 1989 it has occurred biennially as an inter-
national conference. Continuing this successful tradition, the 17th Portuguese Con-
ference on Artificial Intelligence (EPIA 2015) took place on the campus of the
UniversityofCoimbra,Coimbra,Portugal(http://epia2015.dei.uc.pt),September8–11,
2015.
Followingtheorganizationofrecenteditions,EPIA2015wasorganizedasaseries
of thematic tracks. Each track was coordinated by an Organizing Committee and
includes a specific international Program Committee, composed of experts in the
corresponding scientific area. Twelve thematic tracks were selected for EPIA 2015: -
Ambient Intelligence and Affective Environments (AmIA) - Artificial Intelligence in
Medicine (AIM) - Artificial Intelligence in Transportation Systems (AITS) - Artificial
LifeandEvolutionaryAlgorithms(ALEA)-ComputationalMethodsinBioinformatics
and Systems Biology (CMBSB) - General Artificial Intelligence (GAI) - Intelligent
Information Systems (IIS) - Intelligent Robotics (IROBOT) - Knowledge Discovery
and Business Intelligence (KDBI) - Multi-Agent Systems: Theory and Applications
(MASTA) - Social Simulation and Modelling (SSM) - Text Mining and Applications
(TEMA).
For this edition, 131 submissions were received. All papers were reviewed in a
double-blind process by at least three members of the corresponding track Program
Committee. Some of the submissions were reviewed by up to 5 reviewers. Following
the revision process, 45 contributions were accepted as full regular papers. This cor-
respondstoafullpaperacceptancerateofapproximately34%.Additionally,36other
contributions were accepted as short papers. Geographically, the authors of accepted
contributionsbelong toresearchgroupsfrom18different countries–Algeria,Austria,
Brazil, the Czech Republic, Egypt, France, India, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway,
Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, the UK, and the USA –, confirming the
attractiveness and international character of the conference.
We express our gratitude for the hard work of the track chairs and the members
of the different Program Committees, as they were crucial for ensuring the high sci-
