FAIA covers all aspects of theoretical and applied artificial intelligence research in the form of
monographs, doctoral dissertations, textbooks, handbooks and proceedings volumes. The FAIA
series contains several sub-series, including “Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases” and
“Knowledge-Based Intelligent Engineering Systems”. It also includes the biennial ECAI, the
European Conference on Artificial Intelligence, proceedings volumes, and other ECCAI – the
European Coordinating Committee on Artificial Intelligence – sponsored publications. An
editorial panel of internationally well-known scholars is appointed to provide a high quality
selection.

Preface
Since the term “Artificial Intelligence” was first coined in 1955 by John McCarthy in
his proposal for the Dartmouth Conference, but also even before that as reflected in
works such that of Alan Turing, there has been a fiery philosophical discussion associ-
ated with it. Questions such as “what is it?”, “can it really exist?”, “will it ever surpass
human intelligence?”, “how should we refer to it?” and so on have troubled us for years
and still continue to do so with undiminished intensity.
Regardless of how each one of us chooses to react to the aforementioned philoso-
phical questions, there is one thing that we can all take for granted. The field that is
referred to as artificial, computational or machine intelligence, or simply AI, has now
begun to mature. Thus, correctly called intelligent or not, there is a vast list of method-
ologies, tools and applications that have been developed under the general umbrella of
artificial intelligence which have provided practical solutions to difficult real life prob-
lems. Moreover, it is clear that, as computing progresses, more and more practical
problems will find their solution in research performed in the field of artificial intelli-
gence.
In general, intelligent applications build on the existing rich and proven theoretical
background, as well as on ongoing basic research, in order to provide solutions for a
wide range of real life problems. Nowadays, the ever expanding abundance of informa-
tion and computing power enables researchers and users to tackle highly interesting
issues for the first time, such as applications providing personalized access and interac-
tivity to multimodal information based on user preferences and semantic concepts or
human-machine interface systems utilizing information on the affective state of the
user.
The purpose of this book is to provide insights on how today’s computer engineers
can implement AI in real world applications. Overall, the field of artificial intelligence
is extremely broad. In essence, AI has found application, in one way or another, in
every aspect of computing and in most aspects of modern life. Consequently, it is not
possible to provide a complete review of the field in the framework of a single book,
unless if the review is broad rather than deep. In this book we have chosen to present
selected current and emerging practical applications of AI, thus allowing for a more
detailed presentation of topics.
The book is organized in 4 parts. Part I “General Purpose Applications of AI”
focuses on the most “conventional” areas of computational intelligence. On one side,
we discuss the application of machine learning technologies and on the other we ex-
plore emerging applications of structured knowledge representation approaches. Part II
“Intelligent Human-Computer Interaction” discusses the way in which progress in the
field of AI has allowed for the improvement of the means that humans use to interact
with machines and those that machines use, in turn, to analyze semantics and provide
meaningful responses in context. Part III “Intelligent Applications in eHealth” focuses
on the way that intelligence can be incorporated into medical data processing, thus al-
lowing for the provision of enhanced medical services. Part IV “Real world AI applica-
vi
tions in Computer Engineering” concludes the book with references to new and emerg-
ing applications of computational intelligence in real life problems.
Finally, all four editors are indebted to the authors who have contributed chapters
on their respective fields of expertise and worked hard in order for deadlines to be met
and for the overall book to be meaningful and coherent.
