        , the 23rd RCRA International
Workshop on “Experimental Evaluation of Algorithms for Solving Problems with
Combinatorial Explosion” held on November 28, 2016 in Genova.
      </p>
      <p>Since the 2005 edition, the RCRA workshops have focused on the theme of algorithms
in artificial intelligence, proposing benchmarks to compare them and study their
efficiency through experimental evaluation. Since then, the conference was organized in
Udine (Italy), Reggio Emilia (Italy), Bologna (Italy), Barcelona (Spain), Rome (Italy),
Vienna (Austria), Pisa (Italy), and Ferrara (Italy).</p>
      <p>
        There were 13 submissions. Each submission was reviewed by at least four program
committee members. The committee decided to accept all 13 papers for presentat
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">ion at
RCRA 2016</xref>
        . Among them 7 are original papers and are included in this volume.
We would like to thank Program Committee members and the external rev
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">iewers of RCRA
2016</xref>
        for their work, as well as to the authors who submitted their articles to the conference.
We also would like to thank the Department of Informatics, Bioengineering, Robotics and
Systems Engineering, DIBRIS, of the University of Genova and the organ
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">izers of AI*IA

      <p>Finally we acknowledge the EasyChair team and CEUR-WS.org that helped us in
organizing the conference and producing the proceedings.</p>
