Prof. Yves Demazeau from the LIG, Grenoble, France (morning)
* Data Mining and its application to medical data by Prof. Huei Diana Lee from
the Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná, UNIOESTE, Brazil (morning).
* Models and Methods for Planning in Intelligent Systems, by Prof. Hector Geffner from
the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain (afternoon).
* Ontologies by Prof. Giancarlo Guizzardi, from the Federal University of Espíritu Santo, Brazil (afternoon)

* SIX PLENARY TALKS to complement the theoretical aspect of the courses with
state of the art, groundbreaking applications of AI:

* Case-based reasoning applied to music and robot soccer, by Prof. Ramón López de Mántaras from the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, Spain
* Managing knowledge and context, by Prof. Fausto Giunghiglia from the University of Trento, Italy.
* The Watson computer system and its underlying technology, by Prof. Eric Brown from Watson Technologies IBM.
* Multi-Agent Systems Organizations, by Prof. Jaime Sichman, from University of Sao Paulo, Brazil
* Automated planning and scheduling for space exploration, by Prof. Steve Chien from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, USA.
* Big Data, Lifelong Machine Learning and Transfer Learning by Prof. Qiang Yang from the Hong Kong University.


* A DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM: The DC will provide an opportunity for Ph.D. students to discuss their research interests, career objectives and funding opportunities with senior researchers with similar research interests, among others, the invited professors and lecturers (see above courses and plenary talks list).
