This interna- tional conference was organized by the University of Aveiro and, as in previous years, was held under the auspices of the Portuguese Association for Artificial Intelligence(APPIA).ThepurposeofEPIA2009wasto promoteresearchinall areasofArtificialIntelligence(AI),coveringboththeoretical/foundationalissues and applications, and to encourage the scientific exchange among researchers, engineers and practitioners in related disciplines. To promote discussions among participants, EPIA 2009 was structured as a set of thematic tracks proposed by the international AI research community. Thematic tracks are intended to provide an informal environment that fosters the active cross-fertilization of ideas between researchers within specific sub- areasofAI,including theoretical/foundational,integrative,application-oriented andnewlyemergingareas.TheproposalsreceivedinresponsetoapublicCallfor Thematic Tracks were evaluated by the ProgramChair and the General Chairs inconsultationwiththeAdvisoryCommittee.Thefollowingtrackswereselected and included in the conference program: AITUM – Artificial Intelligence in Transportation and Urban Mobility ALEA – Artificial Life and Evolutionary Algorithms CMBSB – Computational Methods in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology COLA – Computational Logic with Applications EAC – Emotional and Affective Computing GAI – General Artificial Intelligence IROBOT – Intelligent Robotics KDBI – Knowledge Discovery and Business Intelligence MASTA – Multi-Agent Systems: Theory and Applications SSM – Social Simulation and Modelling TEMA – Text Mining and Applications WNI – Web and Network Intelligence Each track was coordinated by an Organizing Committee composed of, at least, two researchers in the field, from different institutions. An international Program Committee, with recognized researchers within the track’s scientific areas, was created. In response to the Call for Papers,a total of 163 paper submissions were re- ceived from 21 countries, namely Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cuba, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Iran, Italy, Kuwait, The Netherlands, Portugal,Singapore,Spain,Taiwan,Tunisia,UKandUSA.Allsubmissionswere VI Preface evaluated by at least three members of the ProgramCommittees of the respec- tive tracks and were selected for presentation at the conference on the basis of quality and relevance to the issues addressed in the track. The present volume containsaselectionofhigherqualityfullpaperspresentedinthedifferenttracks. Thesepapersareorganizedinchapters,oneforeachtrack.The numbersofsub- mitted papers in each track and the respective numbers of papers accepted for this volume are given in Table 1. The overall acceptance rate for this volume was 33.7%. All remaining papers presented at the conference are included in a separate proceedings volume published by the University of Aveiro. Table 1.

The Nectar Track aims to promote the dissemination of information betweenresearchgroupswithdifferentinterestswithintheAIfield,aswellasthe cooperationbetweendifferentresearchgroupsandthedevelopmentofintegrative research projects. The Nectar Track also aims to provide increased visibility to some of the best papers in the conference program and, in so doing, provide a general view of the AI field and its current hot topics. After consultation with the EPIA 2009 Advisory Committee, the following papers were included in the Nectar Track: – “A Data-Based Approach to Integrating Representations of Personality Traits,Values,BeliefsandBehaviorDescriptions”,byBoon-KiatQuek,Kayo Sakamoto, and Andrew Ortony – “Comparing Different Properties Involved in Word Similarity Extraction”, by Pablo Gamallo Otero – “Constraint-Based Strategy for Pairwise RNA Secondary Structure Predic- tion”, by Olivier Perriquet and Pedro Barahona Preface VII – “Cost-Sensitive Learning Vector Quantization for Credit Scoring”, by Ning Chen, Armando S. Vieira, Joa˜o Duarte, Bernardete Ribeiro, and Jo˜ao C. Neves – “Efficient Coverage of Case Space with Active Learning”, by Nuno Filipe Escudeiro and Al´ıpio Ma´rio Jorge – “How Much Should Agents Remember? The Role of Memory Size on Con- ventionEmergenceEfficiency”,byPauloUrbano,Joa˜oBalsa,PauloFerreira Jr., and Luis Antunes – “Roles, Positionings and Set Plays to Coordinate a RoboCup MSL Team”, by Nuno Lau, Lu´ıs Seabra Lopes, Nelson Filipe, and Gustavo Corrente – “Semantic Image Search and Subset Selection for Classifier Training in Ob- ject Recognition”, by Rui Pereira,Lu´ıs Seabra Lopes, and Augusto Silva – “Sensitivity Analysis of a Tax Evasion Model Applying Automated Design of Experiments”, by Attila Szabo´, La´szl´o Gulya´s, and Istva´n Ja´nos T´oth – “TypeParametricCompilationofAlgebraicConstraints”,byMarcoCorreia and Pedro Barahona – “Using Operator Equalisation for Prediction of Drug Toxicity with Genetic Programming”,by Leonardo Vanneschi and Sara Silva Inadditiontotheparallelsessionsforthedifferenttracksandtheplenarynec- tar sessions, the program of EPIA 2009 included plenary talks by distinguished researchers in the AI field, namely: – Hod Lipson, from Cornell University, with a talk on “The Robotic Scien- tist: Mining Experimental Data for Dynamical Invariants, from Cognitive Robotics to Computational Biology”. – Marie-FrancineMoens,fromtheKatholiekeUniversiteitLeuven,withatalk on “More than Just Words: Discovering the Semantics of Text with a Mini- mum of Supervision”. – Demetri Terzopoulos, from the University of California, Los Angeles, with a talk on “Artificial Life Simulation of Humans and Lower Animals: From Biomechanics to Intelligence”. Finally,theprogramofEPIA2009alsoincludedthe2ndDoctoralSymposium on Artificial Intelligence (SDIA). EPIA 2009 was organized in cooperation with the Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM- SIGART) and the Portuguese Chapter of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society. The conference was co-sponsored by the Portuguese Research Foun- dation (FCT) and IEEE Portugal Section. The participation of Demetri Ter- zopoulos as invited speaker was funded by the Organizing Committee of the ALEA Thematic Track. We highly appreciate and thank the collaboration of the members of all committees, namely the Advisory Committee, the Organiz- ing Committees and the Program Committees of the different tracks and the OrganizingCommittee of SDIA. We also thank invited speakers,authors,refer- eesandsessionchairsfortheir contributionsto the conferenceprogram.Thanks are also due to Microsoft Research, for their Conference Management Service VIII Preface (CMT), which was freely used for managing the paper submission and evalua- tionprocessesinEPIA2009.Lastbutnotleast,wethankSpringerforpublishing this volume.
