      <p>These proceedings contain selected papers from collocated conferences ITAT 2014 (14th
conference Information Technologies – Applications and Theory) and Znalosti 2014. The conferences
were held in Jasná, Demänovská Dolina, Slovakia, on September 25–29, 2014.</p>
      <p>The ITAT conferences are annual meetings organized by the Institute of Computer Science
of the University of P. J. Šafárik, Košice, Slovakia and Slovak Society for Artificial Intelligence
together with the Institute of Computer Science, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic,
Prague, and the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, Prague. This series of
conferences has been held since 2001 in various places in Slovak mountains.</p>
      <p>ITAT is a computer science conference with the primary goal of exchanging information on
recent research results between Czech and Slovak scientific communities. Being held in mountain
resorts of Slovakia, it provides many opportunities for informal meetings. In particular, it presents
a platform for young researchers and PhD students to start new collaborations.</p>
      <p>The traditional topics of the conference include software engineering, data and knowledge
processing, information security, theoretical foundations of computer science, computational
intelligence, distributed computing, natural language processing, and computer science education.</p>
      <p>This year, it was held in parallel with two collocated conferences Datakon and Znalosti with
which it shared some invited plenary talks and a poster session.</p>
      <p>ITAT accepts papers describing original results, significant work-in-progress reports, as well
as reviews of special topics of interest to the conference audience. The conference program this
year included the main track of 16 contributed papers, two invited lectures, three workshops and
a poster session. Three specialized workshops were held as a part of the conference:
• Data Mining and Preference Learning on Web</p>
      <p>(organized by Ladislav Peška and Peter Vojtáš)
• Computational Intelligence and Data Mining (organized by Martin Hole nˇa)
• Algorithmic Aspects of Complex Networks Analysis (organized by Martin Nehéz)
Overall, 51 papers were submitted to all conference tracks. This volume present 16 papers
of the main track, which were selected by the program committee based on at least two reviews
by the program committee members. It also includes two selected papers from the collocated
conference Znalosti. Papers from the three workshops and extended abstracts of posters are
included in a volume published separately.</p>
      <p>It is our pleasure to express our gratitude to everyone who contributed in any way to the
success of the event and the completion of these proceedings. We thank the members of the
Steering Committee who developed the tradition of the series. In particular, we thank T. Vinaˇr who
shared with us his experience in organizing the previous meeting. We thank all the members of the
program committee and the reviewers for careful and timely reviewing. We are very grateful to the
members of the Organizing Committee from the University of P. J. Šafárik, T. Horváth, P. Gurský,
and Š. Pero, who keep the tradition of the series of ITAT conferences as friendly meetings located
each year in another beautiful mountain resort. Our secretary H. Bílková deserves special thanks
for preparing the conference proceedings.</p>
      <p>Last but not least, we thank all invited speakers and authors who contributed to this volume
to share their new ideas and results with the community of researchers in the rapidly developing
field of informatics. We hope that you enjoy reading and find inspiration for your future work in the
papers contained in these proceedings.</p>
