Preface
This volume contains the papers presented at the 14th Pacific Rim International
ConferenceonArtificialIntelligence(PRICAI2016)heldduringAugust22–26,2016,
in Phuket, Thailand.
PRICAI is a biennial conference inaugurated in Tokyo in 1990. It provides a
common forum for researchers and practitioners in various branches of artificial
intelligence (AI) to exchange new ideas and share experience and expertise. Over the
past26yearstheconferencehasgrown,bothinparticipationandscope,tobeapremier
international AI event for all major Pacific Rim nations as well as countries from
furtherafield.ThisyearmarkedthefirsttimethattheconferencewasheldinThailand.
In addition to the main track, PRICAI 2016 featured a special track on “Smart Mod-
elling and Simulation.”
This year, we received 161 high-quality submissions from 25 countries to both the
mainandspecialtracks.Fromthese,53papers(33%)wereacceptedasregularpapers,
withafurther15acceptedasshortpapers.Eachsubmittedpaperwasconsideredbythe
Program Committee members and external reviewers, and evaluated against criteria
such as relevance, significance, technical soundness, novelty, and clarity. Every paper
receivedatleastthreereviews,andinsomecasesuptofour,supplementedbyrigorous
discussion among the reviewers. Finally, the program co-chairs read the reviews and
discussion among reviewers, and made the final decision to ensure fairness and con-
sistency in the paper selection.
Thetechnicalprogrambeganwithtwodaysofworkshopsandtutorials,followedby
the main conference program. The workshops included the Pacific Rim Knowledge
Acquisition Workshop (PKAW), co-chaired by Hayato Ohwada (Tokyo University of
Science, Japan) and Kenichi Yoshida (University of Tsukuba, Japan), which has long
enjoyedasuccessfulco-locationwithPRICAI.Authorsofshortpaperspresentedtheir
resultsduringpostersessions,butwerealsogiventheopportunitytopresentshortened
talks to introduce their work. As in previous years, participants at PRICAI were also
able to attend the co-located 19th International Conference on Principles and Practice
of Multi-Agent Systems (PRIMA 2016). We were honored to have three outstanding
keynotespeakers,whosecontributionshavecrosseddisciplineboundaries:PhanMinh
Dung(AsianInstituteofTechnology,Thailand),Sheng-ChuanWu(FranzInc.,USA),
and Zhi-Hua Zhou (Nanjing University, China). We are grateful to them for sharing
their insights on their latest research with us.
It would not have been possible to organize the technical program without the
considerable help of various people who committed their time and effort toward
making PRICAI 2016 a success. We would like to thank the Program Committee
members and external reviewers for their engagements in providing rigorous and
timely reviews. It is because of them that the quality of the papers in this volume is
maintained at a high level.
