This year the two events took place jointly also with the Intelligent Robotics Journey (JRI). SBIA, supported by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC), is the leading conference in Brazil for the presentation of research and applications results in artificial intelligence. Since 1995, SBIA has become an international conference, with papers written exclusively in English, an international Program Committee (PC) and keynote speakers, and proceedings published in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series of Springer.
