The 35th edition of the IEA/AIE2022 (International Conference on Industrial, Engineering, and Other Applications of Applied Intelligent Systems) was hosted in hybrid mode from July 19th to July 22nd, 2022, in Kitakyushu, Japan. IEA/AIE is an annual conference dedicated to advances related to the theory and applications of artificial intelligence that started in 1988 and has been hosted in over twenty countries. IEA/AIE 2022 was organized in cooperation with the American Association of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), the ACM Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence (SIGAI) and has received the support of Springer, the International Society of Applied Intelligence (ISAI), Kitakyushu city, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, i-SOMET Inc., and several other international Organizations. The conference had a main track and five special sessions for emerging topics in applied intelligence, named Spatiotemporal Big Data Analytics (SBDA 2022), Intelligent Systems and e-Applications (ISeA 2022), Collective Intelligence in Social Media (CISM 2022), Multi-Agent Systems and Metaheuristics for Complex Problems (MASMCP 2022), and Intelligent Knowledge Engineering in Decision Making Systems (IKEDS 2022). All the submissions were peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers following a double-blind process.

ICPRAM 2021 (10th International Conference on Pattern Recognition Applications and Methods) received 97 paper submissions from 30 countries. To evaluate each submission, a double‐blind paper review was performed by the Program Committee. After a stringent selection process, 21 papers were published and presented as full papers, i.e. completed work (12 pages/25' oral presentation), 53 papers were accepted as short papers (28 as oral presentation and 25 as poster presentation). ICPRAM's program included three invited talks delivered by internationally distinguished speakers, namely: The papers were organized in thirteen parallel sessions ranging from areas such as Machine Learning Methods; Deep Learning and Neural Networks; Classification and Clustering; Natural Language Processing; Theory and Methods; Methods and Applications; and Image and Video Analysis and Understanding. The organizing committee included the ICPRAM Conference Chair: Ana Fred, Instituto de Telecomunicações and University of Lisbon, Portugal; and the Program Co‐Chairs: Maria De Marsico, Sapienza Università di Roma, Italy; and Gabriella Sanniti di Baja, Italian National Research Council CNR, Italy.

The 2018 AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, the 2018 Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence, and the 2018 Symposium on Educational Advances in Artificial Intelligence were held February 2–7, 2018 at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.  This report, based on the prefaces contained in the AAAI-18 proceedings and program, summarizes the events of the conference.

"It was good to see the number of student attendees up," noted American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) President Tom Mitchell, "and that our attendance was so high despite the economic downturn. I think the meeting was even more stimulating because of the co-location of AAAI with so many other conferences in Edmonton at the same time." This article provides a few snapshots of the vast and varied content of the 2002 conferences. Proceedings of AAAI-02 and IAAI-02 are available from AAAI Press (www.aaaipress.org). AAAI is grateful for the outstanding work of the conference committee members as well the support of the following organizations for this year's conference: Association of Computing Machinery SIGART, Alberta Informatics Circle of Research Excellence (iCORE), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), NASA Ames Research Center, the National Science Foundation's Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE), and the Naval Research Laboratory.

The 2003 International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling (ICAPS-03) was held 9 to 13 June 2003 in Trento, Italy. It was chaired by Enrico Giunchiglia (University of Genova), Nicola Muscettola (NASA Ames), and Dana Nau (University of Maryland). Piergiorgio Bertoli and Marco Benedetti (both from ITC-IRST) were the local chair and the workshop-tutorial coordination chair, respectively. It is the result of merging two highly successful biennial conferences: (1) the International Conference on AI Planning and Scheduling (AIPS) and (2) the European Conference on Planning (ECP)--which alternately occurred beginning in 1991. The ICAPS-03 technical program took place from 11 to 13 June 2003.

A robot-building lab and contest was held at the Eleventh National Conference on Artificial Intelligence. Teams of three worked day and night for 72 hours to build tabletop autonomous robots of legos, a small microcontroller board, and sensors. The robots then competed head to head in two events. The contest was a chance to learn about building machines that operate in the real world. The lab was in a roped-off area of the main exhibition area.

Originally founded in 1987 as a conference to promote and advance AI within the state of Florida, over the years, FLAIRS has attracted national and international participation--56 percent of this year's papers had international authors. After a period of eight years, the Fifteenth International Conference of the Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society (FLAIRS 2002) returned to the emerald coast of Pensacola Beach, Florida. John Kolen (UWF-IHMC) was the conference general chair, and Susan Haller (University of Wisconsin at Parkside) and Gene Simmons (University of South Alabama) were the program cochairs. FLAIRS is a general conference for reporting AI research, and the 104 papers presented at FLAIRS-2002 covered a broad spectrum of research areas. The conference consisted of 3 parallel sessions of 21 tracks, including 14 special tracks highlighting specific themes.

Subrata Dasgupta from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette spoke about the computer's role in the current revolution in cognitive science. His talk came from a historical perspective--how humankind has always felt an overwhelming need to understand the world around us and to control it for our own benefit. He further described how this need is now embodied in our need to understand our own cognitive processes--the very same organ that allows us to understand is not at all well understood. He described the roles that the computer has played as a metaphor for description and explanation and as an instru-The Thirteenth Annual International Conference of the Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society was held in Orlando, Florida, on 22 to 24 May. The conference included sessions on 11 topics.

Of special note was Deep Blue, the IBM computer system that beat then-reigning world chess champion Garry Kasparov. Then there was the boom and bust of expert systems companies, the times when AI was the most popular computer science major, and the 1985 AAAI conference that had over 5,500 attendees. This was followed by what is commonly referred to as the "AI Winter." "This was not a prolonged phenomenon," observed Brachman. Indeed, in the current Presidential budget for fiscal year 2006, the Cognitive Computing Systems line item is $200 million, and the proposed 2007 budget is $240 million.

In this regard, the presentation of the three priority programs on agent technology, sponsored by the German Science Foundation (DFG), deserve special mention. André gave an Aachen, was the general chair. This description will transform the web into a workshops preceding the main conference.

Sponsored by: International Society of Applied Intelligence - Organized in Cooperation with: AAAI, ACM/SIGART, CSCSI/SCEIO, ECCAI, ENNS, INNS, JSAI, NRC, and SWT IEA/AIE-2004 continues the tradition of emphasizing applications of artificial intelligence and expert/knowledge-based systems to engineering and industrial problems as well as application of intelligent systems technology to solve real-life problems.
