Summary:It is a reality that we live in a world where populations could be exposed to radiation or hazardous chemicals as a result of an accident, act of terrorism or a war. This exposure could cause serious health problems, sometimes within days or weeks, and may even lead to a latent health effect on humans, such as an increased cancer rate. Health professionals dealing with these cases therefore need methods to measure the effects of radiation and chemicals using molecular and cellular assays, and their possible short and long term consequences for potentially exposed members of a population at ris.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the hottest areas of research with hundreds of potentially real life applications, and one of the disciplines that is most intertwined with all sorts of fields related to human experience. A wide range of disciplines, sectors and technologies could benefit from the results of AI breakthroughs; from robotics to search engines; healthcare or environment; screening, monitoring or supervision techniques. The present book compiles the 33 accepted papers presented at the 1th International Conference of the Catalan Association for Artificial Intelligence. Although most of the authors come from Catalan-speaking regions, the Conference has a long-standing collaboration with the AI community and this is reflected in the variety and interest of this work. How do Autonomy and AI relate to Aerospace Systems? Did you know that less is also more when it comes to Cultural Algorithms and that AI could also help with the treatment of major depressions? Or that AI could improve your cit transport system? This book answers all questions and is especially addressed to IT engineers and software experts and, more generally, to everyone interested in AI technologies and what they have to offer for a better brighter future.
