INTRODUCTION
Societies and industries are facing many challenges to be even more 
intelligent and sustainable. In this context, many good practices and 
approaches are being explored, and several new contributions are daily 
produced. In this context, many good practices and approaches are being 
investigated, and several unique contributions are daily proposed 
without being disseminated. So, the track "Artificial Intelligence for 
Industry and Societies" wants to overcome this gap.
A smart society looks to citizens problems and tries to maximise the use 
of innovative technologies and collaboration across multiple sectors to 
create more efficient, intelligent, and adaptable services. In this 
context emerges the concept of smart cities that coalesce smart 
infrastructures with human needs through community services. Connected 
and efficient cities and communities can lead to informed, engaged, and 
contented citizens. However, to have a smart society is also required to 
have intelligent industries. Industry 4.0 consists of the digital 
transformation of manufacturing/production, related sectors, and value 
creation processes. It represents a new stage in the organisation and 
control of the industrial value chain where Artificial Intelligence has 
a vital role through the automation of processes, prediction and 
reduction of errors and failures.
The evolution of Industry and Societies must be holding hands requiring 
a multi-disciplinary endeavour, where technology and Artificial 
Intelligence are in this area as a bonding element for each of the 
services it sustains.
This track intends to link researchers and professionals able to explore 
new solutions applied to society and Industry. It will further explore 
and present paradigms, solutions, or best practices to be implemented in 
the real world. It represents a new era of disseminating knowledge by 
showing how scientific knowledge can be transferred to society and 
applied in the industry using Data Science and Artificial Intelligence 
approaches. IA4IS is open to several contributions in both areas like 
cognitive computing platforms and applications, including technologies 
and infrastructures related to Artificial Intelligence, machine 
learning, as well as big data processing and data analytics.

PAPER SUBMISSION
All papers should be submitted in PDF format through the EPIA'2022 
submission Website. Submissions must be original and can be of two 
types: regular (full-length) papers should not exceed twelve (12) pages 
in length, whereas short papers should not exceed six (6) pages. Each 
submission will be peer-reviewed by at least three members of the 
Program Committee. The reviewing process is double-blind. The 
best-accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published by 
Springer in the LNAI series (previous EPIA proceedings were indexed by 
the Thomson ISI Web of Knowledge, Scopus, DBLP and ACM digital library). 
The remaining accepted papers will be published in the local proceedings 
with ISBN.

*Authors of the best papers presented at the AI4IS track of EPIA will be 
invited to submit extended versions of their manuscripts for a Special 
Issue in the Journal of Future Internet (MDPI)
