INTRODUCTION
Societies and industries are facing many challenges to be even more intelligent and sustainable. In this context, many good practices and approaches are being explored, and several new contributions are daily produced. In this context, many good practices and approaches are being investigated, and several unique contributions are daily proposed without being disseminated. So, the track "Artificial Intelligence for Industry and Societies" wants to overcome this gap.
A smart society looks to citizens problems and tries to maximise the use of innovative technologies and collaboration across multiple sectors to create more efficient, intelligent, and adaptable services. In this context emerges the concept of smart cities that coalesce smart infrastructures with human needs through community services. Connected and efficient cities and communities can lead to informed, engaged, and contented citizens. However, to have a smart society is also required to have intelligent industries. Industry 4.0 consists of the digital transformation of manufacturing/production, related sectors, and value creation processes. It represents a new stage in the organisation and control of the industrial value chain where Artificial Intelligence has a vital role through the automation of processes, prediction and reduction of errors and failures.
The evolution of Industry and Societies must be holding hands requiring a multi-disciplinary endeavour, where technology and Artificial Intelligence are in this area as a bonding element for each of the services it sustains.
This track intends to link researchers and professionals able to explore new solutions applied to society and Industry. It will further explore and present paradigms, solutions, or best practices to be implemented in the real world. It represents a new era of disseminating knowledge by showing how scientific knowledge can be transferred to society and applied in the industry using Data Science and Artificial Intelligence approaches. IA4IS is open to several contributions in both areas like cognitive computing platforms and applications, including technologies and infrastructures related to Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, as well as big data processing and data analytics.

PAPER SUBMISSION
All papers should be submitted in PDF format through the EPIA'2022 submission Website. Submissions must be original and can be of two types: regular (full-length) papers should not exceed twelve (12) pages in length, whereas short papers should not exceed six (6) pages. Each submission will be peer-reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee. The reviewing process is double-blind. The best-accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published by Springer in the LNAI series (previous EPIA proceedings were indexed by the Thomson ISI Web of Knowledge, Scopus, DBLP and ACM digital library). The remaining accepted papers will be published in the local proceedings with ISBN.
*Authors of the best papers presented at the AI4IS track of EPIA will be invited to submit extended versions of their manuscripts for a Special Issue in the Journal of Future Internet (MDPI)
