The 31st International Conference on Industrial, Engineering and Other Applications of Applied Intelligent Systems (IEA/AIE-2018) was held at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada, June 25–28, 2018. This report summarizes the The 31st International Conference on Industrial, Engineering and Other Applications of Applied Intelligent Systems (IEA/AIE-2018) was held at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada, June 25–28, 2018.  IEA/AIE 2018 continued the tradition of emphasizing on applications of applied intelligent systems to solve real-life problems in all areas including engineering, science, industry, automation a robotics, business and finance, medicine and biomedicine, bioinformatics, cyberspace, and human-machine interactions.

The first IEA/AIE conference was organized in 1988 in Tullahoma, Tennessee. Since that time, the conference has been held internationally in many countries including Germany, Scotland, Australia, Spain, Egypt, Hungary, England, Italy, France, Japan, Poland, China, Taiwan, Netherlands, and South Korea. The conference has always been sponsored by ISAI and all conferences have been held in cooperation with AAAI. AI, and Intelligent Systems in Health Care and The focus of the 2017 conference was on research mHealth for Health Outcomes advances in new and innovative intelligent systems' IEA/AIE-2017 also organized two workshops: ASP methodologies and their applications in solving reallife, Technologies for Querying Large-Scale Multiple-complex problems. In many worldwide applications, Source Heterogeneous Web Information, cochaired there is a real need to develop intelligent systems by Odile Papini, Salem Benferhat, Laurent Garcia, that deal with complex, open, and dynamic and Marie-Laure Mugnier; and Computer Animation information systems.
