----------------------------------------------------------------
The EPIA Conference on Artificial Intelligence is a well-established 
European conference in the field of AI. The 19th edition, EPIA 2019, 
will take place in Vila Real in September 3rd-6th, 2019.
This international conference is hosted with the patronage of the 
Portuguese Association for Artificial Intelligence (APPIA).
Its purpose is to promote research in all areas of Artificial Intelligence
(AI), covering both theoretical/foundational ssues and applications, and 
the scientific exchange among researchers, engineers and practitioners 
in related disciplines.
EPIA 2019 will feature a set of thematic tracks, covering a wide 
spectrum of AI topics.
Conference Proceedings includes a book published by Springer LNCS/LNAI.

## Important Dates
15 Apr 2019: Paper Submission Deadline
31 May 2019: Author Notification/Registration Open
15 Jun 2019: Camera-Ready Deadline
3-6 Sep 2019: EPIA'2019 Conference

## EPIA Keynote Speakers

- Marco Dorigo Swarm robotics: recent results and new research directions

- Michael Wooldridge
Understanding Equilibrium Properties of Multi-Agent Systems

- Albert Bifet
Machine Learning for Data Streams

## IROBOT Description
IROBOT'2019 poses itself as a follow-up on the previous eight International
Thematic Tracks/Workshops on Intelligent Robotics held at EPIA since 
2005. Its main purpose is to bring together researchers, engineers and 
other professionals interested in the application of AI techniques in 
real/simulated
robotics to discuss current work and future directions.

Robotics, from the point of view of AI, has been an important 
application field, from which AI has also gained. Namely, the dynamic 
and unforeseen nature of the environment, especially for mobile robots,
has fostered research in these aspects of AI. Together with the developments
in Robotics Research, the use of Robotics in industry and services has 
changed a lot in recent years. New paradigms and approaches for 
industrial robots and service robots have emerged, for example, on 
mobile robots learning, localization, mapping and navigation in 
unstructured environments. IROBOT 2019 will discuss these new 
developments on industrial and service robotics with focus on robot 
learning.

## Topics of Interest
The Thematic Track will be structured around the following themes:
- Adaptive and flexible industrial robotics
- Agriculture robots
- AI Planning for robotics - Autonomous vehicles - Cognitive robotics - 
Computer vision and object recognition - Coordination in robotics - 
Evolutionary robotics and reactive intelligence - Human-robots interface 
and interaction - Humanoid robotics - Intelligent buildings and 
warehouses - Intelligent transportation systems - Mobile robots 
localization and navigation - Modelling and simulating complex robots - 
Multi-Robot systems - Field Robots - Real-time reactivity - Robot 
behaviour engineering
- Robot learning and adaptation - Robotic surveillance - Sensor fusion
This topics' list is not exhaustive. Papers may address one or more of 
the topics, and authors should not feel limited by them. Unlisted but 
related topics are also acceptable, provided they fit in the thematic 
track main subject.

## Paper Submission
Authors are invited to submit original research contributions or 
experience reports in English. Scientific or technical articles 
describing state-of-the-art techniques, algorithms, systems, 
environments, problems or applications relevant to the area of 
Intelligent Robotics may be submitted. Papers discussing application 
transfer from simulated to real robots and papers showing socially 
useful robotic applications generated by participations in robotic 
competitions are also welcome. Although the main focus is on robot 
learning, there will be space for reporting research in AI applied to 
other types of robots.
Submissions must follow the guidelines specified in the EPIA'2019 site. 
The Springer LNCS format must be used (instructions in 
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).
The length of submitted full papers must not exceed 12 pages. Authors 
must remove their names from the submitted papers, and should take 
reasonable care not to indirectly disclose their identity. Paper 
submissions will be made in PDF format, through the submission page:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=epia2019

Three program committee members will be assigned to review each paper. 
Acceptance will be based on the paper's significance, technical quality, 
clarity, relevance and originality. Accepted papers, must be presented 
at the conference by one of the authors. Accepted papers will be 
scheduled for presentation, which requires that at least one of the 
authors should register at the Conference. All accepted papers will be 
published in the Conference Proceedings.
