                               PREFACE




    The AI*IA 2014 Doctoral Consortium was organized with the aim of pro-
viding a full-immersion occasion, for Ph.D. students, to discuss their ongoing
research work, establish research connections with peer researchers, and receive
first-class mentorship from domain experts.

The event included two main sessions:
 – PAPER SESSION: The innovative feature is that Ph.D. students submit-
   ting papers were involved in the reviewing process of other submissions, thus
   providing a ’behind-the-scenes’ perspective of the workshop. This format was
   successfully introduced in AI*IA 2013 Doctoral Workshop1 .
 – IDEA SESSION: For this session, Ph.D. students were welcome to submit
   an abstract of their ongoing research work. Selected ’ideas’ had then been
   assigned a senior supervisor; on the consortium day, each of idea was dis-
   cussed in an open brainstorming, putting together the senior expert in the
   field and various Ph.D. students working on related topics.
For this edition, we accepted a total amount of 9 contributions, i.e. 6 regular
papers and 3 ideas.


Our special thanks for the success of the Doctoral Consortium go to:
 – the invited speaker Gianluigi Greco, for his enlightening talk;
 – the invited speakers of the panel session (Marco Maratea, Francesco Ricca
   and Giovanni Semeraro);
 – the chairs of the main conference (Salvatore Ruggieri and Amedeo Cesta)
   for accepting the Doctoral Consortium as an official workshop within AI*IA
   2014 and for their kind support.


The DC chairs:
Luigi Di Caro,
Carmine Dodaro,
Andrea Loreggia,
