This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th European Conference on Ambient Intelligence, AmI 2018, held in Larnaca, Cyprus, in November 2018. The 12 revised full papers presented together with 6 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 36 submissions. The papers cover topics such as: Ambient Services and Smart Environments; Sensor Networks and Artificial Intelligence; Activity and Situation Recognition; Ambient Intelligence in Education.

This book is dedicated to Marek Sergot, Professor in Computational Logic at Imperial College London, on the occasion of his 60th birthday. Professor Sergot's scientific contributions range over many different fields. He has developed a series of novel ideas and formal methods bridging areas including artificial intelligence, computational logic, philosophical logic, legal theory, artificial intelligence and law, multi-agent systems and bioinformatics. By combining his background in logic and computing with his interest in the law, deontic logic, action, and related areas, and applying to all his capacity to understand the subtleties of social interaction and normative reasoning, Professor Sergot has opened up new directions of research, and has been a reference, an inspiration, and a model for many researchers in the fields to which he has contributed. The Festschrift includes several reminiscences and introductory essays describing Professor Sergot's achievements, followed by a series of articles on logic programming, temporal reasoning and action languages, artificial intelligence and law, deontic logic and norm-governed systems, and logical approaches to policies.

Adaptation, for purposes of self-healing, self-protection, self-management, or self-regulation, is currently considered to be one of the most challenging pr- erties of distributed systems that operate in dynamic, unpredictable, and - tentially hostile environments. Engineering for adaptation is particularly c- plicated when the distributed system itself is composed of autonomous entities that, on one hand, may act collaboratively and with benevolence, and, on the other, maybehavesel?shlywhilepursuingtheirowninterests.Still, theseentities have to coordinate themselves in order to adapt appropriately to the prevailing environmental conditions, and furthermore, to deliberate upon their own and the system's con?guration, and to be transparent to their users yet consistent with any human requirements. The question, therefore, of "how to organize the envisagedadaptationforsuchautonomousentitiesinasystematicway"becomes of paramount importance. The ?rst international workshop on "Organized Adaptation in Multi-Agent Systems" (OAMAS) was a one-day event held as part of the workshop p- gram arranged by the international conference on Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (AAMAS). It was hosted in Estoril during May, 2008, and was attended by more than 30 researchers. OAMAS was the steady convergence of a number of lines of research which suggested that such a workshop would be timely and opportune. This includes the areas of autonomic computing, swarm intelligence, agent societies, self-organizing complex systems, and 'emergence' in general.

The 8th annual international workshop "Engineering Societies in the Agents' World" was hosted by the National Centre for Scienti?c Research "Demok- tos," in Athens, Greece, in October 2007. The workshop was organized as a stand-alone event, running over three days. ESAW 2007 built upon the success of prior ESAW workshops: ESAW 2006 held in Dublin, ESAW 2005 held in Ku, sadasi, going back to the ?rst ESAW workshop, which was held in Berlin in 2000. ESAW 2007 was attended by 40 participants from 10 di?erent countries. Eachpresentationwasfollowedby highly interactivediscussions, in line with the ESAW spirit of having open discussions with fellow experts. The ESAW workshop series started in 2000 to provide a forum for prese- ing highly inter-disciplinary workon technologies, methodologies, platforms and tools for the engineering of complex arti?cial agent societies. Such systems have found applications in many diverse domains such as space ?ight operations, e-business and ambient intelligence. Despite ESAW traditionally placing - phasis on practical engineering issues and applications, the workshop did not exclude theoretical and philosophical contributions, on the proviso that they clearly documented their connection to the core applied issues. Discussions coalesced around the following themes: - electronic institutions; - models of complex distributed systems with agents and societies; - interaction in agent societies; - engineering social intelligence in multi-agent systems; - trust and reputation in agent societies; - analysis, design and development of agent societies."
