This book is a collection of the papers accepted for presentation at the 14th International Conference of the Catalan Association for Artificial Intelligence (CCIA 2011), held at the University of Lleida in October 2011. From the 28 papers submitted, 24 were accepted for inclusion in this book and for oral presentation at the conference after a careful reviewing process. The conference also featured invited talks by two outstanding international researchers: Christian Bessiere of CNRS, University of Montpellier, France, and Bart Selman of Cornell University, USA. The CCIA conference brings tog

Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science and a discipline in the study of machine intelligence, that is, developing intelligent machines or intelligent systems imitating, extending and augmenting human intelligence through artificial means and techniques to realize intelligent behavior. Advanced Artificial Intelligence consists of 16 chapters. The content of the book is novel, reflects the research updates in this field, and especially summarizes the author's scientific efforts over many years. The book discusses the methods and key technology from theory, algorithm, system and

The coauthors of the seminal book The Virtual Corporation describe how the rise of artificial intelligence and virtual environments are ushering in an epic cultural transformation—and how we can thrive in this new era. We are at the dawn of the Autonomous Revolution, a turning point in human history as decisive as the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions. More and more, AI-based machines are replacing human beings, and online environments are gathering our data and using it to manipulate us. This loss of human autonomy amounts to nothing less than a societal phase change, a fundamental paradigm shift. The same institutions will remain—schools, banks, churches, and corporations—but they will radically change form, obey new rules, and use new tools. William H. Davidow and Michael S. Malone go deeply into the enormous implications of these developments. They show why increases in productivity no longer translate into increases in the GDP and how zero cost, one-to-many communications have been turned into tools for cybercrime and propaganda. Many of the book's recommendations—such as using taxes to control irresponsible internet behavior and enabling people to put their data into what are essentially virtual personal information “safety deposit boxes”—are bold and visionary, but we must figure out how we will deal with these emerging challenges now, before the Autonomous Revolution overcomes us.
