Brazilian Meeting on Artificial
Intelligence ENIA, the Brazilian Meeting on Artificial Intelligence (Encontro Nacional de Inteligência Artificial), is a biannual event that alternates with the Brazilian Symposium on Artificial Intelligence (SBIA). The first meeting was held in Brasília, in 1997, and subsequent events happened in 1999 (Rio de Janeiro), 2001 (Fortaleza), 2003 (Campinas) e 2005 (São Leopoldo). The event is supported by the Brazilian Computer Society (Sociedade Brasileira de Computação). Its main objective is to bring together researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, and professionals interested in the area of Artificial Intelligence. Although it is a national event we are fortunate to attract the attention of other researchers from Latin America, Europe and United States. This year, in its sixth edition, ENIA was held in Rio de Janeiro, from July 3rd to July 6th, conjoined with the XXVII Congress of the Brazilian Computer Society. ENIA attracted excellent research works in several domains of artificial intelligence such as agents, multi-agent systems, genetic algorithms, neural networks, machine learning, data mining, text mining, intelligent interfaces, computational vision, knowledge representation and uncertainty. This year we had a remarkable contribution of scientific articles on successful applications of artificial intelligence in various domains of the brazilian society. We had 194 articles submitted, from which only 62 were selected for publication in the ENIA proceedings. We had the pleasure of having two invited speakers: Prof. Helder Coelho from University of Lisbon and Prof. Gerson Zaverucha from Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. Our international speaker, Prof. Helder Coelho presented the talk A arte do Simulacro: ao redor da mente , while our national speaker, Prof. Gerson Zaverucha presented the talk Avanços em Revisão de Teorias de Primeira Ordem a partir de Exemplos. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all members of the Programme Committee and all reviewers for their excellent work that contributed to the high quality of ENIA 2007. We would also like to thank all researchers for sharing their knowledge and original results with us. At last, we would like to thank the SBC general organization and our host, IME (Military Institute of Engineering) for their support.
