Artificial Intelligence (AI) is widely known as a knowledge field that aims to make computers, robots, or products that mimic the way humans think. In the current scientific community, AI is an intensively studied area composed of multiple branches. Historically, machine learning and optimization are two of the most studied fronts thanks to the development of novel and challenging research topics such as transfer optimization, swarm robotics, and drift detection and adaptation to evolving conditions in real-time. This book collects radically new theoretical insights, reporting recent developments and evincing innovative applications regarding AI methods in all fields of knowledge. It also presents works focused on new paradigms and novel branches of AI science.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15 Ibero-American Conference on Artificial Intelligence, IBERAMIA 2016, held in San José, Costa Rica, in November 2016. The 34 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 75 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: knowledge engineering, knowledge representation and probabilistic reasoning; agent technology and multi-agent systems; planning and scheduling; natural language processing; machine learning; big data, knowledge discovery and data mining; computer vision and pattern recognition; computational intelligence soft computing; AI in education, affective computing, and human-computer interaction.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 39th Annual German Conference on Artificial Intelligence, KI 2016, in conjunction with the Österreichische Gesellschaft für Artificial Intelligence, ÖGAI, held in Klagenfurt, Austria, in September 2016. The 8 revised full technical papers presented together with 12 technical communications, and 16 extended abstracts were carefully reviewed and selected from 44 submissions. The conference provides the opportunity to present a wider range of results and ideas that are of interest to the KI audience, including reports about recent own publications, position papers, and previews of ongoing work.
