INTRODUCTION
Every day medicine is facing new challenges: new diseases, cost reductions, new therapeutics, rapid and accurate decisions, new techniques and technologies. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing an important role in the decision making process, in the way  the data of the patients are collected, treated, processed, anticipating and avoiding critical situations, as well to test and simulate new treatments and devices. The big question to be answered is: How Artificial Intelligence can help to overcome these challenges and improve the efficiency of medicine?
Data Science, Sensing, Pervasiveness, Ubiquity and Intelligent Agents in Medicine, can contribute with new artifacts and new knowledge for health professionals. AI aims to improve the usability of programs for assisting physicians in figuring out what is wrong with the patients and provide new solutions to help making better decisions. AI systems are intended to support healthcare practitioners in the normal course of their duties, assisting with tasks that rely on the manipulation of data and knowledge. In particular, these systems have for example the capacity to learn, leading to the discovery of new phenomena and the creation of medical knowledge improving human health and longevity.
This track promotes a forum to discuss and present emergent topics, new projects and ideas about how AI can contribute to the field of Medicine and, improve patient conditions. By bringing together researchers from two distinct areas is expected to produce new scientific and technical knowledge in a particular area as is medicine. Special attention will be given to the social impact/gain of the AI contributions in medicine.

[rede.APPIA] [CFP] Deadline extension – AIL – Artificial Intelligence and Law – EPIA 2024

MC
Dear colleagues,

The Thematic Track on Artificial Intelligence and Law (AIL) of EPIA 2024, to be held Viana do Castelo, Portugal between September 3rd-6th, 2024, is still open to new submissions!

Important Deadlines
Deadline for full paper submission (extended): 20th May, 2024
Notification of acceptance: 20th June, 2024
Camera-Ready papers: 15th July, 2024
Conference: 3-6 September 2024

Submissions
Papers can have a maximum length of 12 pages. All papers should be prepared according to the formatting instructions of Springer LNCS series (Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science). Authors should omit their names from the submitted papers, and should take reasonable care to avoid indirectly disclosing their identity.
All papers should be submitted in PDF format through the EPIA’2024 submission Website (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=epia2024) selecting the track AIL – Artificial Intelligence and Law

Scope
Artificial intelligence and law is a field of study and research, which has been established since long and deals with all the possible applications of artificial intelligence to the world of law. Traditionally, this field has mainly concerned the forms of legal reasoning, the formation of legal knowledge, and the decision-making processes inherent to the legal domain. 

However, recent developments in artificial intelligence have also affected this area of study and research. Increasingly, artificial intelligence is no longer defined with close reference to the notion of human intelligence, consciousness, and alike, but is considered as a growing resource of interactive, autonomous, and self-learning agency. As a smart form of agency, AI has even a greater potential to affect and reshape law, while raising legal, technical, and ethical issues, which affect human autonomy, self-determination, and responsibility. 

Furthermore, since AI is gradually more fueled by data, these issues are predominantly rooted in data collection, retention and management. This raises key questions and challenges that require full examination and discussion, since they deeply affect the future trends of law.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
 Formal and computational models of legal knowledge
 Models of legal reasoning
 Artificial intelligent systems in the legal domain
 Automation and decision-making process
 Machine learning and data mining
 Artificial intelligence and litigation
 Predictive coding
 Autonomous and self-learning agency
 Ethics of artificial intelligence

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a paradigm emerging from Artificial

Intelligence (AI), where computers are used as proactive tools assisting

people with their day-to-day activities, making everyone’s life more

comfortable.

 

Affect and social behaviour plays an important role in the development

of Ambient Intelligent Environments. Consideration of aspects like

emotions, mood, personality traits, and attitudes in human-computer,

human-robot, and human-environment interaction, especially insofar as

they provide better or more “natural” support for humans. These

environments should be aware of the needs of people, customizing

requirements and forecasting behaviours.

 

AmI environments may be highly diverse, such as homes, offices, meeting

rooms, schools, hospitals, control centers, transport facilities,

tourist attractions, stores, sport installations, music devices, etc.

 

In the Thematic track on AmIA Environments we will create a

multi-disciplinary discussion forum that will bring together researchers

from the different fields addressed discussing issues in Artificial

Intelligence topics included in the Ambient Intelligence and affective

environments. Researchers are welcome to present both theoretical and

practical works as well as the lessons learned with their application in

the varied range of domains. Emphasis will be placed on the presentation

of concrete systems, discussion of implementation and development

challenges and sharing of conclusions achieved and relevant results.
