Curitiba, Paraná, 20-25 October 2012
SBIA is the leading conference in Brazil for presentation of research and applications in Artificial Intelligence. It aims to promote research of international level in AI and scientific exchange among AI researchers, practitioners, scientists, and engineers in related disciplines, congregated in Brazil. SBIA 2012 especially encourages submissions that cross discipline boundaries within Artificial Intelligence, and between Artificial Intelligence and other disciplines. Since 1995, SBIA has become an international conference, with paper written in English, international program committee and keynote speakers, and proceedings published in the LNAI series of Springer-Verlag.

# Proceedings: All accepted papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lectures. Notes in Artificial Intelligence Series (http://www.springer.com/lncs).
# Submissions and Posters: Papers should present substantial new results in theoretical, empirical and applied research related to the topics of the conference. Papers must be written in English and must not exceed 10 pages (Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes style file), including title, abstract, all tables, figures, and references. Authors will be required to submit their paper abstract a few days before the paper submission deadlines. SBIA 2012 is innovating by requesting that all authors of accepted papers participate in a poster session besides giving an oral presentation. Furthermore, this edition will also award a prize for best paper.
# Submission: Papers must be submitted in PDF files using the JEMS submission system, located at https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/sbia2012
# Submission Policy: By submitting papers to SBIA 2012, the authors agree that in case of acceptance at least one author registers to the conference and presents the paper.
# Double blind reviewing: Reviewing for papers will be blind to the identities of the authors and their institutions.
# Program Chairs: Leliane Nunes Barros (USP) and Marcelo Finger (USP)
