Introduction

Traditionally in EPIA there is a thematic track that intends to cover general methodologies and architectures for intelligent systems and research that does not clearly fall under other specific thematic tracks. This track has now the title Artificial Intelligence – Theory, Methods, and Application (AITMA). In AITMA we will encourage researchers to present work in interdisciplinary areas and in breaking domains of AI. All available paths integrating AI are welcome, including theoretical and experimental computer science, cognitive science, neuroscience, and innovative interdisciplinary methodologies. Relevant to this track are also papers on issues that arise in the design and construction of complex artificial intelligent agents, including but not limited to human-level intelligent agents, integrating varying component technologies.
