CALL FOR PAPERS
We invite all members of the international AI research and industry communities to submit their high-quality, previously unpublished papers to:
Ambient Intelligence and Affective Environments
Thematic track of the 24th Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence
(EPIA 2025)
October 1-3, 2025
University of Algarve, Faro, Portugal, Faro, Portugal
Webpage: https://epia2025.ualg.pt/
**************************************************************
This track provides a forum to discuss and present emerging topics, new projects, and ideas on how AI can contribute to the field of Ambient Intelligence.
Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a paradigm emerging from Artificial Intelligence (AI), where computers are used as proactive tools assisting people with their day-to-day activities, increasing human experiences.
Affect and social behaviour play an important role in the development of Ambient Intelligent Environments. Consideration of aspects like emotions, mood, personality traits, and attitudes in human-computer, human-robot, and human-environment interaction, especially insofar, as they provide better or more “natural” support for humans. These environments should be aware of the people’s needs, customizing requirements and forecasting behaviours.
AmI environments may be highly diverse, such as homes, offices, meeting rooms, schools, hospitals, control centres, transport facilities, tourist attractions, stores, sport installations, or music devices, among others.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
*********************************************
In the thematic track on AmIA Environments we intend to bring together researchers from the different addressed fields, discussing issues under the Artificial Intelligence topics included in the context of Ambient Intelligence and Affective Environments. Researchers are welcome to present both theoretical and practical works as well as the lessons learned with their application in the varied range of domains. Emphasis will be placed on the presentation of concrete systems, discussion of implementation and development challenges, and sharing of relevant results and conclusions.
To fulfil these objectives, submissions of substantial, original, and previously unpublished work are invited in all areas of Ambient Intelligence and Affective Environments.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
– Applications
– Ambient Assisted Living
– Ubiquitous Computing
– Artificial Intelligence for AmI
– Intelligent Environments
– Pervasive Computing
– Context Aware Computing
– Agent & Multi-Agent Systems for AmI
– Mobile Computing
– Sentient Computing
– e-Health
– Context Modelling
– AmI for e-Learning
– On-line Dispute Resolution
– Memory Assistant
– Computational models of emotions
– Group Emotion
– Affect and learning
– Artificial characters
– Affect and emotion recognition
