The purpose of the International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence (ICAART)istobringtogetherresearchers,engineers,andpractitionersinterestedinthe theory and applications in these areas. The conference was organized in two simulta- neous tracks: artificial intelligence and agents, covering both applications and current research work within the area of agents, multi-agent systems and software platforms, distributedproblemsolvinganddistributedAIingeneral,includingWebapplications, on one hand, and within the area of non-distributed AI, including the more traditional areassuchasknowledgerepresentation,planning,learning,scheduling,perceptionand also not so traditional areas such as reactive AI systems, evolutionary computing and other aspects of computational intelligence and many other areas related to intelligent systems, on the other hand. ICAART2013 received269papersubmissionsfrom50countries,inallcontinents. Toevaluateeachsubmission,adouble-blindpaperreviewwasperformedbytheProgram Committee, whose members are highly qualified researchers in ICAART topic areas. Basedontheclassificationsprovided,only97paperswereselectedfororalpresentation (37fullpapersand60shortpapers)and59paperswereselectedforposterpresentation. The full paper acceptance ratio was about 14 %, and the total oral acceptance ratio (including full papers and short papers) 36 %. These strict acceptance ratios show the intentiontopreserveahighqualityforumwhichweexpecttodevelopfurthernextyear. WewouldliketohighlightthatICAART2013includedalsothreeplenarykeynote lectures, given by internationally distinguished researchers, namely—Elias M. Awad (University of Virginia, USA), Jaap van den Herik (Tilburg University, The Nether- lands), and Wiebe van der Hoek (University of Liverpool, UK). We would like to express our appreciation to all of them and in particular to those who took the time to contribute with a paper to this book. We must thank the authors, whose research and development efforts are recorded here. We also thank the keynote speakers for their invaluable contribution and for taking the time to synthesize and prepare their talks. Finally, special thanks to all the members of the INSTICC team, whose collaboration was fundamental for the success of this conference.
