Preface
With this edition, EPIA, the Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence, celebrates its 20th anniversary. Like all its previous editions, it has been run under the auspices of the Portuguese Association for Artificial Intelligence (APPIA), which was established in 1984 and is also celebrating 20 years of activity. The first edition of EPIA was held in Porto, in October 1985, organised by Pavel Brazdil, Miguel Filgueiras, Lu´ıs Damas and Armando Campos e Matos.

In recent years, the conference gradually progressed from a plenary organisation to a workshop-based structure. The conference has steadily assumed high-quality standards, both in its scientific management and in the scientific program, with the aim of progressively broadening its audience and improving its impact over young researchers. EPIA 2005 was the 12th edition of the conference. With the above-mentioned celebrations in mind, we decided to work towards the involvement
