CCIA 2018 - 21st International Conference of the Catalan Association of Artificial Intelligence FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS ============================================================== October 8-10, 2018 Roses, Catalonia (Spain) ============================================================== Web Page: https://ccia2018.upc.edu/en/ ============================================================== INTRODUCTION ------------ We invite you to participate in the 21st International Conference of the Catalan Association for Artificial Intelligence (CCIA 2018) that will take place on 8-10th October 2018 on the beautiful Bay of Roses, at Alt Empordà, Catalonia (Spain). The main goal of this international conference is to foster discussion around the last advances in Artificial Intelligence. We encourage you to contribute with finished works as well as preliminary works with promising original and innovative ideas. CCIA is the usual meeting point of the Catalan AI scientific community, this is why the conference official languages are Catalan, Spanish, French, Italian and English. However, English must be used to be published in the conference proceedings. This CCIA edition is also hosting the first commemorative activities of the 25th anniversary of the foundation of the Catalan Association for Artificial Intelligence (ACIA), which will start in an specific act at the conference and will continue all along the 2018-2019 academic course.
