General Artificial Intelligence
Traditionally in EPIA there is a thematic track under the title of General Artificial Intelligence (GAI) that intends to cover general methodologies and architectures for intelligent systems and research that does not clearly fall under other specific thematic tracks. Besides, in GAI we will encourage researchers to present work in interdisciplinary areas and in breaking domains of AI. All available paths integrating AI are welcome, including theoretical and experimental computer science, cognitive science, neuroscience, and innovative interdisciplinary methodologies. Relevant to this track are also papers on issues that arise in the design and construction of complex artificial intelligent agents, including but not limited to human-level intelligent agents, integrating varying component technologies.

Paper submission
Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere. Papers should not exceed twelve (12) pages in length and must adhere to the formatting instructions of the conference. Each submission will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee. The reviewing process is double blind, so authors should remove names and affiliations from the submitted papers, and must take reasonable care to assure anonymity during the review process. References to own work may be included in the paper, as long as referred to in the third person. Acceptance will be based on the paper’s significance, technical quality, clarity, relevance and originality.
Paper Publication
All accepted papers will be published by Springer in a volume of the LNAI-Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series (indexed by the Thomson ISI Web of Knowledge). The number of pages of the accepted contributions has the following limits:
- Full Regular Papers: Contributions accepted as full papers should contain from 10 to 12 pages in its final version, according to the LNAI series formatting instructions. Extraordinarily, other two additional pages could be considered with a supplementary fee.
- Short Papers: Contributions accepted as short papers should contain from 4 to 6 pages in its final version, according to the LNAI series formatting instructions.
All accepted papers must be presented orally the conference by one of the authors and at least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference.
