Preface
The EPIA Conference on Artificial Intelligence is a well-established European
conference in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). In this 19th edition, EPIA 2019,
took place in Vila Real at the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD),
duringSeptember3–6,2019(https://epia2019.utad.pt/).VilaRealisabeautifultownin

This conference is always organized under the auspices of the Portuguese
Association for Artificial Intelligence (APPIA – http://www.appia.pt) and, as in
previous editions, the program was based on a set of thematic tracks dedicated to
specific themes of AI.
EPIA 2019 encompassed a record of 18 tracks devoted to different topics, plus a
doctoral symposium and a panel session on “Societal AI.” The selected tracks were:
AIEd - Artificial Intelligence in Education, AI4G - Artificial Intelligence for Games,
AIoTA-ArtificialIntelligenceandIoTinAgriculture,AIL-ArtificialIntelligenceand
Law, AIM - Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, AICPDES - Artificial Intelligence in
Cyber-Physical and Distributed Embedded Systems, AIPES - Artificial Intelligence in
Power and Energy Systems, AITS - Artificial Intelligence in Transportation Systems,
ALEA-ArtificialLifeandEvolutionaryAlgorithms,AmIA-AmbientIntelligenceand
Affective Environments, BAAI - Business Applications of Artificial Intelligence,
GAI-GeneralAI,IROBOT-IntelligentRobotics,KDBI-KnowledgeDiscoveryand
Business Intelligence, KRR - Knowledge Representation and Reasoning,
MASTA-Multi-AgentSystems:TheoryandApplications,SSM-SocialSimulationand
Modelling,andTeMA-TextMiningandApplications.
The conference program included three invited talks. Marco Dorigo (Université
Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium) with a talk on “Swarm robotics: recent results and new
research directions,” Michael Wooldridge (University of Oxford, UK) with a talk on
“Understanding Equilibrium Properties of Multi-Agent Systems,” and Albert Bifet
(Telecom ParisTech, France) with a talk on “Machine Learning for Data Streams.”
Forthisedition,252papersubmissionswerereceivedfrom55differentcountriesto
the thematic tracks. After a careful review process, 125 papers were selected to be
presented in EPIA 2019. The papers acceptance rate was circa 49%. All of the papers
were carefully revised by at least three reviewers of the corresponding track Program
Committee. We thank the track organizing chairs, together with their respective
Program Committee members, for their hard work of scientific reviewing.
