PRICAI is a biennial conference inaugurated in Tokyo in 1990 to promote collaborativeexploitationofarti?cialintelligence(AI)inthePaci?cRimnations. Over the past 20 years, the conference has grown, both in participation and scope,tobeapremierinternationalAIeventforallmajorPaci?cRimnationsas well as the countries from all around the world, highlighting the most signi?cant contributions to the ?eld of AI. This year, PRICAI 2010 also featured several special sessions on the emerging multi-disciplinary research areas ranging from Evolving Autonomous Systems to Human-Augmented Cognition. There was an overwhelming interest to the call for papers for the conf- ence. As a result, PRICAI 2010 attracted 191 full-paper submissions to the regular session and the special sessions of the conference from researchers from many regions of the world. Each submitted paper was carefully considered by a combination of several independent reviewers, Program Committee members, Associate Chairs, Program Vice Chairs and Program Chairs, and ?nalized in a highly selective process that balanced many aspects of the paper, including the signi?cance, originality, technical quality and clarity of the contributions, and its relevance to the conference topics. As a result, this volume reproduces 48 - pers that were accepted as regular papers (including the special session papers) and 21 papers that were accepted as short papers. This gives a regular paper acceptance rate of 25. 13%, and a short paper acceptance rate of 10.
