Scope

AI is undoubtedly becoming a commodity in the business world. In fact, AI technology is increasingly used in major industries such as health, manufacturing, retail, automotive, education, marketing, sales, financial services, entertainment and security, to increase productivity and reduce costs. The Business Applications of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI) track will focus on bringing new insights on successful applications of AI technology in business as well as identifying challenges that can only be addressed by collaborative efforts between industry and academia.  Industry leaders need to learn with researchers how and where AI technologies can be applied in their organizations. On the other hand, researchers need to understand the challenges that companies are facing, the potential for solving them with AI technologies but also the additional challenges raised by developing solutions to real world problems with those technologies. The track will promote the discussion concerning challenges and potential solutions and the sharing of ideas and experiences between researchers (especially young ones, such as M.Sc. and Ph.D. students) and industry leaders. It also aims to disseminate recent research, innovative approaches and techniques, current trends and concerns.

Topics of Interest

The topics relevant to the track include, but are not limited to, the following:

AI applications in business, industry and government, involving technologies such as:

-Agent based systems

– Data science (data mining, big data, machine learning and deep learning)

– Evolutionary computation

– Expert and decision support systems

– Intelligent search

– Metaheuristics

– Intelligent planning

– Robotics

– Solutions based on the integration of multiple AI and other types of technologies

– Methodological issues in the development of AI projects

CALL FOR PAPERS
—————————————————————————————
Artificial Intelligence in Transportation Systems (AITS)
Thematic Track of the 19th Conference on Artificial Intelligence (EPIA 2019)
September 3-6, 2019. Vila Real, Portugal
—————————————————————————————
Submission deadline: April 15, 2019
—————————————————————————————
The 7th AITS Track at EPIA Conferences aims to promote a debate on current developments and advancements of AI techniques in a rather practical perspective. It will gather both the AI community and transportation practitioners to discuss how cutting-edge AI technologies can be effectively applied to improve the performance of transportation systems and mobility in general on a sustainable basis, according to three important dimensions, namely economic, environmental, and social. This forum also aims to generate new ideas towards building innovative applications of AI technologies into smarter, greener and safer transportation systems, stimulating contributions that emphasise on how theory and practice are effectively coupled to solve real-life problems in contemporary transportation, naturally including all sorts of mobility systems. Indeed, today’s transportation systems are being devised on a more intelligent basis, and the concept of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) has become already a reality among us. More recently, ITS have evolved into the basis giving support to the development of the so-called Smart Mobility solutions, within the framework of Smart Cities, in which social issues increase the complexity of transportation systems and bring about new performance measures such as equity, security, while sustainability is strongly emphasised. This thematic track on AI in Transportation Systems is also organised and promoted by the technical activity subcommittee on Artificial Transportation Systems and Simulation, a TAC of the IEEE ITS Society.
—————————————————————————————
Topics of Interest
—————————————————————————————
The AITS Thematic Track welcomes and encourages contributions reporting on original research, work under development and experiments of different AI techniques, such as, supervised/unsupervised learning approaches (e.g. neural networks for classification problems), biologically inspired approaches, evolutionary algorithms, knowledge-based and expert systems, case-based reasoning, fuzzy logics, intelligent agents and multi-agent systems, support vector regression, data mining and other pattern-recognition and optimization techniques, as well as concepts such as ambient intelligence and ubiquitous computing, service-oriented architectures, and ontology, to address specific issues in contemporary transportation, which would include (but are not limited to):
• different modes of transport and their interactions (air, road, rail and water transports);
• intelligent and real-time traffic management and control;
• design, operation, time-tabling and management of logistics systems and freight transport;
• transport policy, planning, design and management;
• environmental issues, road pricing, security and safety;
• transport systems operation;
• application and management of new technologies in transport;
• travel demand analysis, prediction and transport marketing;
• advanced traveller information systems and services;
• ubiquitous transport technologies and ambient intelligence;
• pedestrian and crowd simulation and analysis;
• urban planning toward sustainable mobility;
• service oriented architectures for vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications;
• assessment and evaluation of intelligent transportation technologies;
• human factors in intelligent vehicles;
• autonomous driving;
• artificial transportation systems and simulation;
• serious games and gamification in transportation;
• behaviour modelling, artificial societies, and social simulation of transportation systems;
• electric mobility and its relationship with smart grids and the electricity market;
• computer vision in autonomous driving;
• surveillance and monitoring systems for transportation and pedestrians;
• data-driven preventive maintenance policies;
• anomalous trajectory mining and fraud detection;
• smart architectures for vehicle-to-vehicle/vehicle-to-infrastructure communications;
• automatic assessment and/or evaluation on the transport reliability (planning, control and other related policies);

Scope

AI is undoubtedly becoming a commodity in the business world. In fact, AI technology is increasingly used in major industries such as health, manufacturing, retail, automotive, education, marketing, sales, financial services, entertainment and security, to increase productivity and reduce costs. The Business Applications of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI) track will focus on bringing new insights on successful applications of AI technology in business as well as identifying challenges that can only be addressed by collaborative efforts between industry and academia.  Industry leaders need to learn with researchers how and where AI technologies can be applied in their organizations. On the other hand, researchers need to understand the challenges that companies are facing, the potential for solving them with AI technologies but also the additional challenges raised by developing solutions to real world problems with those technologies. The track will promote the discussion concerning challenges and potential solutions and the sharing of ideas and experiences between researchers (especially young ones, such as M.Sc. and Ph.D. students) and industry leaders. It also aims to disseminate recent research, innovative approaches and techniques, current trends and concerns.

Topics of Interest

The topics relevant to the track include, but are not limited to, the following:

AI applications in business, industry and government, involving technologies such as:

-Agent based systems

– Data science (data mining, big data, machine learning and deep learning)

– Evolutionary computation

– Expert and decision support systems

– Intelligent search

– Metaheuristics

– Intelligent planning

– Robotics

– Solutions based on the integration of multiple AI and other types of technologies

– Methodological issues in the development of AI projects

– Social impact of AI

– Business problems in need of AI solutions

Submission Information

———————————————————————————————————–

All accepted papers will be published by Springer in a volume of Springer’s Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) corresponding to the proceedings of the 19th EPIA Conference on Artificial Intelligence, EPIA 2019.

We accept three types of submissions, regular EPIA papers, M.Sc. project posters and industrial solutions and case studies, as detailed next.

Regular Submission

Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere. Papers should not exceed twelve (12) pages in length and must adhere to the formatting instructions of the conference. Each submission will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee. The reviewing process is double blind, so authors should remove names and affiliations from the submitted papers, and must take reasonable care to assure anonymity during the review process. References to own work may be included in the paper, as long as referred to in the third person. Acceptance will be based on the paper’s significance, technical quality, clarity, relevance and originality. All accepted papers must be presented orally the conference by one of the authors and at least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference.

All papers should be submitted in PDF format through the EPIA 2019 EasyChair submission page. Prospective authors should select the thematic track to which their paper is to be submitted.

Student project posters

M.Sc. students are invited to submit a 2 pages summary of their project (same formatting rules as for the regular papers). Although the discussion of results will be beneficial, it is not required. This means that students at early phases of their projects are encouraged to submit. Accepted submission will present their work at a poster session, where they will have the opportunity to interact with participants from the companies. Accepted submissions will be published in the local (online) web-page.

Industrial solutions and case studies

Submissions are invited for industrial solutions and case studies. Submit a 2 pages summary of solutions (general-purpose or specific tools) and case studies (success stories, lessons learned and challenges). The same formatting rules for the regular papers apply. Accepted submissions will present their work at a specific session, where the speakers will have the opportunity to discuss their work with academic experts on AI. Accepted submissions will be published in local (online) proceedings.

Participation

Registrations associated with student project posters and Industrial solutions and case studies have access to the technical program, participation in the welcome session, coffee-breaks and lunch on the first day. More information about registration can be found at the EPIA 2019 site.
