Introduction

Abstract

Along the various editions of EPIA the scientific program comprised invited lectures, tutorials, parallel workshops, and paper presentations. The success of the workshop format, since it was adopted by the conference, motivated the organizers of the previous and current editions to generalize the adoption of this model for scientific presentations, leaving the plenary sessions for invited lectures, tutorials, posters and panels.

As expected, although a signi.cant number of workshops are accepted in each edition of EPIA, they do not cover all areas of AI. Another peculiarity of the workshop format is that the areas that are addressed differ substantially from one edition to another.
