EPIA2011 - 15th Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence


Research in Artificial Intelligence is deeply grounded in Portugal nowadays, and raising an increasing interest in the community of young researchers. The importance of Artificial Intelligence in Portugal is visible by the number of PhDs (over 100), the sheer number of researchers, but also the success of recent workshops and conferences organised in Portugal, such as RoboCup&RoboCupRescue 2004, EUMAS 2006, AAMAS 2008, EKAW 2010 and ECAI 2010.

EPIA has come of age as an international conference more than 20 years ago. Since the last time EPIA was organised in Lisbon (1989), the conference has been organised all over the country, raising considerable success and interest in the several local scientific communities, whilst never ceasing to attract researchers and practitioners from the whole country and a considerable participation of foreign scientists.

This year EPIA will be held in Lisbon and is co-organized by: FCUL, ISEL, INESC-ID, IST.
