It is the responsibility of the authors to remove names and affiliations from the submitted papers, and to take reasonable care to assure anonymity during the review process. – Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.
************************************** Proceedings and Presentations ************************************** – Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings (as in previous editions, the publication of a volume of Springer’s LNAI-Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence is expected), as long as at least one author is registered in EPIA 2024 by the deadline advance registration. – EPIA 2024 proceedings are indexed in Thomson Reuters ISI Web of Science, Scopus, DBLP and Google Scholar. – Each accepted paper must be presented by one of the authors in a track session.
************************************** Awards **************************************
The conference will grant the following awards: * Best Paper Award, for the best research paper presented at the conference * Best Application Paper, for the best application paper presented at the conference * Best Student Paper Award, for the best research paper presented at the conference where the first author is a student (to confirm)
Important: only papers that have been submitted to a thematic track and presented at the conference will be eligible for these awards.

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, making everyone’s life more 

comfortable.

 

Affect and social behaviour plays 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 needs of people, customizing 

requirements and forecasting behaviours.

 

AmI environments may be highly diverse, such as homes, offices, meeting 

rooms, schools, hospitals, control centers, transport facilities, 

tourist attractions, stores, sport installations, music devices, etc.

 

In the Thematic track on AmIA Environments we will create a 

multi-disciplinary discussion forum that will bring together researchers 

from the different fields addressed discussing issues in Artificial 

Intelligence topics included in the 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 conclusions achieved and relevant results.
