Artificial AI
The Catalan Association for Artificial Intelligence (ACIA),1 created in 1994 as a non- profit association, aims primarily at fostering the cooperation among researchers from the Catalan-speaking Artificial Intelligence research community. In 1998, the first In- ternational Conference of Artificial Intelligence (the CCIA) was organised at the Uni- versitat Rovira i Virgili in the city of Tarragona. From then to now, the CCIA has been organised every year by the ACIA together with a local committee, striving to take place in all the Catalan-speaking lands. Since then, the CCIA has been held in Girona (1999), Vilanova i la Geltrú (2000), Barcelona (2001, 2004), Castelló de la Plana (2002), Mallorca (2003), L’Alguer (2005), Perpinyà (2006), Andorra (2007), Sant Martí d’Empúries (2008), Cardona (2009), L’Espluga de Francolí (2010), Lleida (2011), Alacant (2012) and Vic (2013). The CCIA is now a consolidated forum of de- bate among Catalan-speaking researchers and colleagues from all around the world. This year the conference is being held in Barcelona, hosted by the Universitat de Barcelona, and organised by the ACIA together with the Applied Mathematics and Analysis department of the hosting university. CCIA 2014 has been organised as a sin- gle-track conference consisting of high quality, previously unpublished papers on new and original research on Artificial Intelligence. This volume contains 34 original contributions, which have been accepted for presentation at the Seventeenth International Conference of the Catalan Association of Artificial Intelligence (CCIA 2014), which will take place on October 22–24, 2014. All contributions have been reviewed by at least two referees. The papers have been organ- ised around different topics providing a representative sample of the current state of the art in the Catalan Artificial Intelligence Community and of the collaboration between ACIA members and the worldwide AI community. As a novelty, this year conference hosts the Cognitive Science Society (CSS)2 award to the best student paper on interdisciplinary work in the fields of Cognitive Sci- ence and Artificial Intelligence. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all authors for making the con- ference and this book possible with their contributions and participation. We sincerely thank the members of the organizing committee for their effort in the preparation of this event, and all the members of the Scientific Committee for their help in the review- ing process. Special thanks go also to the two outstanding plenary speakers, Ramón López de Mántaras and Leo Wanner, for their effort in preparing very interesting lectures, to Karina Gibert, former PC chair in CCIA’2013, for her help during this year and, last but not least, to Vicenç Torra, president of ACIA, for his kind support and involvement.
