This issue reviews the recent work of the Italian community in Artificial Intelligence (AI). The study of AI has a long tradition in Italy, it can be dated back to the early Seventies and the research groups are numerous and their activities span a wide range of themes, from knowledge representation and automated reasoning, to machine learning, from multi-agent systems to robotics, and many oth...

Editorial: Orthology and applications

The accurate inference of orthologous genes underpins almost all biological studies that consider more than a single genome. Indeed, orthology formalizes the intuitive notion of corresponding genes in different species. As such, orthology finds applications in a broad range of research areas, such as functional genomics, comparative genomics, phylogenetics or pharmacology. Accordingly, well ove...

Building AI Applications: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

As with the AAAI itself, the Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence conference (IAAI) was the brainchild of Raj Reddy. Howie Shrobe summarized the context: “... the emergence of scientific achievements had triggered opportunities to tackle new problems ... The point of the conference was to exchange information about what really works and what the real problems are. The goal was to ...
