CALL FOR PAPERS

We invite all members of the international AI research and industry communities to submit their high-quality, previously unpublished papers to EPIA 2025.
EPIA2025 is organized around thematic tracks. These are intended to provide an environment that fosters an active exchange of ideas between attendees within specific sub-areas of AI.
In addition to the parallel sessions for the different tracks, there will be plenary sessions with invited lectures given by leading scientists, discussion sessions, and social events. More detailed and up-to-date information may be found at: https://epia2025.ualg.pt/

**************************************
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Papers should be prepared according to the Springer LNAI format, using either a LaTeX or a Word template, and should be a maximum of 12 pages, including references. However, authors should consider any track-specific details in their submission.
EPIA 2025 will not accept any paper that, at the time of submission, is under review for, has already been published in, or has already been accepted for publication in a journal or another venue with formally published proceedings. Authors of EPIA 2025 submissions are also not permitted to submit their paper to a journal or another venue with formally published proceedings during the EPIA 2025 review period. (As a guideline, authors should regard publications with a DOI, ISBN, or ISSN as formal publications. Questions about submission eligibility should be referred to the program chair before the deadline.) These restrictions do not apply to workshops and similar specialized presentations without formally published proceedings.
Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process and will be peer-reviewed by at least three members of the respective thematic track program committee.
Authors are responsible for removing names and affiliations from the submitted papers and taking reasonable care to assure anonymity during the review process. Authors should also follow the standards set out in the Springer Nature code of conduct.
All accepted papers will be published by Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, provided that at least one author is registered in EPIA2025 by the early registration deadline.
Each accepted paper is required to be presented by one of the authors in a track session.
Prospective authors should select the thematic track to which their paper is to be submitted.

EPIA2025 features the following thematic tracks covering a wide spectrum of AI topics:

• AI and Creativity
• AI for Architecture, Engineering and Conservation
• Ambient Intelligence and Affective Environments (AmIA)
• Artificial Intelligence and IoT in Agriculture (AIoTA)
• Artificial Intelligence and Law
• Artificial Intelligence for Industry and Societies (AI4IS)
• Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIM)
• Artificial Intelligence in Power and Energy Systems (AIPES)
• Artificial Intelligence in Transportation Systems (AITS)
• Ethics and Responsibility in AI
