Research and Development in Intelligent Systems XXXI

The papers in this volume are the refereed papers presented at AI-2014, the 34th SGAI International Conference on Innovative Technologies and Applications of Artificial Intelligence, held in Cambridge in December 2014 in both technical and applied flows. They introduce new and innovative developments and applications, divided into technical flow sections on knowledge discovery and data mining, machine learning, agents, systems and genetic programming, followed by application flow sections on evolutionary algorithms/dynamic modeling, planning and optimization, machine learning and data mining. The volume also includes texts of short papers presented as posters at the conference. This is the 31st volume in the Intelligent Systems Research and Development series, which also includes the 22nd volume in the Applications and Innovations in Intelligent Systems series. These series are essential reading for those who wish to keep abreast of developments in this important field.
